The island of Kauai has been the darling of honeymooners ever since Elvis tied the knot here in Blue Hawaii. And it's no secret why. Kauai boasts majestic mountains and sea cliffs, towering waterfalls and so much lush greenery it's been dubbed The Garden Isle.
It's a mecca for hikers, kayakers and other outdoor enthusiasts. The razorback Na Pali cliffs, on the rugged north shore, are Hawaii's foremost trekking destination.
Na Pali Coast Snorkel Trip
From USD $148.99
Spend the day hiking, rafting and snorkeling off the majestic Na Pali coast. The snorkeling is out of this world - the crystal-clear waters teem with fish, coral formations, and other marine life.
Waimea Canyon Downhill Ride
From USD $101.99
You can coast at the crack of dawn, or cruise Waimea Canyon at the end of the day. Early birds get soft light and stunning views; afternoon riders get cool breezes and stunning views.
Kauai Golf Tee Times
Lock in your tee times on one of Kauai's famous oceanfront 18-hole golf courses. Book tee times in advance at Kauai Lagoons, Poipu Bay or Princeville golf courses.

Beachfront, and a little kitsch but over-the-top charming nonetheless, these high-end cottages have a way of ingratiating themselves to you, despite their price tag. Harking back to the Westside's sugar plantation history, it has rocking chairs, hammocks and Hawaiian-style quilts.
A unique (though pricey) beachfront set of condos sandwiched between the strip of the island's top South Shore resorts. Your accommodation includes a full kitchen, up to two bedrooms, ocean views and a beachside pool to enjoy.
From the highway it's hard to imagine the low-key tranquility that awaits, themed with a hint of neoclassical plantation style. You'll note the balmy air coming in from the open lobby upon entering, from where you can see the sparkling pools and ocean.
Suggested Itineraries in Kauai
Unspoiled and unhurried, Kauai's mountainous north shore features incredible scenery. The challenging but oh-so-rewarding 11-mile Kalalau Trail runs along the steeply fluted Na Pali cliffs and winds up and down a series of lush valleys in Na Pali Coast State Park. The scenery is breathtaking, with sheer green cliffs dropping into brilliant turquoise waters.
Sunny Poipu, Kauai's main resort area, fronts a fabulous run of sandy beaches. It's good for snorkeling year-round and surfing in summer. If you're still looking for inspiration, read the Viator blog for more suggested itineraries in Kauai.
