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.

Waimea Plantation Cottages

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.

Poipu Kapili

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.

Hilton Kauai Beach Resort

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

Suggested Itineraries in Kauai, from Viator.com

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.
