Honeymoon in Kauai

With its dramatic views, lush scenery, volcanoes, mountains, and of course, its gorgeous beaches, Hawaii is a much-reveled destination for newlywed couples who are traveling on their honeymoon. Hawaii of course is more than one island, and most travelers who visit Hawaii visit more than one island during their trip. Oahu, Maui, and Big Island are the most visited of the islands, but one island that couples will definitely want to explore is Kauai. Idyllic and rejuvenating, Kauai beckons immersion and is the perfect Hawaiian island for a romantic honeymoon escape.

With a nickname like the "Garden Isle"—and a law that states that no building can be higher than four stories (the height of a coconut palm)—it is no surprise that Kauai is known for its lush, natural beauty. Some consider Kauai to be the home of the most beautiful tropical wilderness in all of Hawaii, particularly along the horseshoe-shaped Na Pali Coast, a region where you will find wild, untamed landscape as well as resort areas collected around the sun-washed, white-sand beaches.

What kind of experience will you find in Kauai? The island is considered the most romantic in Hawaii, and is favored by couples looking for a honeymoon vacation that pairs a romantic beach vacation in a tropical locale, with a setting that is tropical, verdant and a bit uninhibited. If you enjoy moments of seclusion, where it is just you and the person you love, and if you like to get adventurous (even if it's only occasionally), Kauai is an island you will want to visit, or at least take the time to learn more about, one that offers a very unique and different experience than you would find in other beach destinations.

If you do travel to Kauai, you will want to rent a car for your vacation. Driving around the island only takes a few hours, which makes it easy to explore the many destinations within the island. If you're a couples who enjoy watching movies, you may want to visit some of the numerous filming locations found on Kauai. Even if you've never been to Kauai before, you have most likely glimpsed it on screen. With jungle scenery that is too beautiful to recreate, Kauai has been a filming location for many movies, including Jurassic Park, Tropic Thunder, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and was even the backdrop for the planet Pandora in Avatar.

Other popular sites and diversions include: the Kauai Plantation Railway, which takes you through the jungle and offers an insight to the island's agriculture, past and present; the Waimea Canyon, a 3,000-foot-deep collection of crags and deep gorges that are known as "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific," where there are numerous hiking trails; and explore the Hawaii's only navigable river, the Wailua, by kayak or canoe. Other activities include horseback riding, camping, windsurfing, and scuba diving. Other sites include the Kalalua Valley Lookout and the Pu'uokila Lookout, which offer the best views on the island, including a view of Mount Waialeale, the highest point on the island.

If you are a couple that enjoys seclusion, adventure, wilderness, nature and being active, Kauai is the perfect exotic beach destination for your honeymoon. To book your Kauai honeymoon, call a Liberty Travel Vacation Expert at 1.877.LIBERTY or by inquiring online.
