Kauai isn't that big of an island, but there is SO MUCH to do and SO MUCH to eat! There are countless options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, and we tried to hit up as many as we could in the week that we were there. We ended up staying at the cutest resort called Wyndham Bali Hai Villas on the North Shore of Kauai in Princeville. When we weren't relaxing on the beach or taking excursions, we were exploring the different areas of Kauai and all they had to offer. Her

We had the most amazing time visiting Kauai for our first time! I did a ton of research before our trip and really feel like we got to experience the best that this Hawaiian island has to offer. Here are my top 5 activities to do in Kauai. 1. Take a Waterfall ATV Adventure On our trip to Kauai, Hawaii we were given the AMAZING opportunity to partner up with Kipu Ranch Adventures for a Waterfall Picnic Tour.

I'm not sure if I have ever wanted to go on a helicopter until I started to research our trip to Kauai. The countless photos and videos I saw of the island from the air convinced me to get over my fear of heights (for the hour) and take off, literally! There are a ton of helicopter companies that tour Kauai, but we chose to go with Mauna Loa Helicopter Tours for two reasons: 1) the tour was private, meaning we weren't squished between strangers fighting for a view and 2) they

It is featured in a film Ryan and I love called A Perfect Getaway, so we knew we had to hike at least part of it on our trip. The entire trail is 11 miles and requires a permit. I also have to mention it is EXTREMELY dangerous and difficult. Maybe one day we will do it, but this trip we decided to take it easy and only hike the first leg! The mornin

If you have never been to the Hawaiian Islands and decide to go - a luau should DEFINITELY be on your list of things to do. Since it was our first time in Kauai (and in Hawaii in general) I knew I wanted to find an authentic luau experience, so when we were given the chance to partner up with Grand Hyatt and attend their Kauai Luau, I was SO excited! In case you don't know, the tradition of the luau began in 1819 when King Kamehameha II (you may remember me mentioning him and

If you've been following me for a while you guys know by now that I absolutely LOVE to plan trips. I do a ton of research in order to pick where we will go and, once we decide, do even more to find the best activities to do - you can read my post about how to choose your destination and create an itinerary HERE. Kauai's Nā Pali Coast is jaw-droppingly beautiful and we wanted to see it EVERY way we could. Thanks to Captain Andy's, we were able to experience the beauty of the c

One of our favorite things to do on vacation (and in general really!) is go ATVing! We have gone out on tours in the jungles of Costa Rica and on the sand dunes in Cabo San Lucas. We even have our own ATV at home and love exploring the mountainous terrain in Vermont. On our trip to Kauai, Hawaii we were given the AMAZING opportunity to partner up with Kipu Ranch Adventures for a Waterfall Picnic Tour. Ryan was especially excited, since this particular tour would take us to th
