Are you finally ready to plan a romantic vacation with your partner? If you are, it is probably a dream come true! After all, that means the kids are either out on their own, or capable of staying home by themselves. And you get to enjoy a little peace and quiet, while rekindling the romance in your life. When it comes to romantic vacations, you can’t go wrong with visiting any of the Hawaiian Islands. However, Kauai is one of the best options for romantic vacations. There are a few touristy things to do and see in Kauai. There are also multiple romantic things to do in Kauai without needing to experience the crowds like the other islands. Today, I am going to share all the fabulous things to do and see in Kauai during your next romantic vacation.
The beautiful sunny days in Kauai are perfect for long scenic drives. One of the best scenic drives will take you to the Kalalau Valley Overlook. This is an ancient Hawaiian landmark. Therefore, it is the perfect spot for holding hands and remembering why you both love each other.
If you want a little more adventure with this activity, feel free to hike to the rim via the Pihea Trail.
There are a few spectacular beaches in Kauai. Hanalei Bay, Polihale, and Anini Beaches are a couple favorites. Polihale will offer you the seclusion you may desire for a romantic stroll. Hanalei Bay offers more people, but still a relaxed vibe.
The Kauai sunset is nothing less than thrilling. You can catch this sunset from almost anywhere on the island. However, I recommend standing on a beach looking out over the Pacific Ocean. This will allow you to continue watching the sun, as it lowers completely into the horizon.
You can combine this romantic activity with a stroll on the beach. Or a romantic dinner. Whatever you decide will make the moment perfect.
Another fabulous way to watch the Kauai sunset is by going out on a boat tour. Options include sunset tours complete with dinner, as well as whale watching adventures, or opportunities to see the Na Pali Coast.
The Limahuli Garden & Preserve is the best botanical garden in Kauai. Self-guided tours of the garden are available. During your visit, you will walk amongst taro patches, as well as diverse plants and flowers. You may even spot a few of the native animals on the island. This is one of the best things to do and see in Kauai!
Romantic vacations can always be filled with adventures. One of the best things to do in Kauai is exploring the Maniniholo Dry Cave. According to legend, this cave was formed when Polynesian settlers chased the Menehune away from Waimea Canyon. The Menehune escaped through a tunnel, collapsing the ceiling on their way through. The dropped ceiling is what created this cave.
Hanalei Town is an excellent place to grab a bite to eat. Especially when you are craving shave ice. This is the perfect place to visit when you are also visiting Hanalei Bay.
When you need a little action during your romantic vacation in Kauai, you can rent a bike. The Kapa’a Beach Bike Trail tops the list of fun things to do in Kauai. During your ride, you can enjoy stunning views of the coastline. Don’t forget to stop at a couple beaches for a little downtime.
Secret Falls is a waterfall that is also known as Uluwehi Falls. This rushing waterfall used to be one of the best kept secrets on Kauai. You must kayak down the Wailua River to get closer to these falls. Once you reach the landing area, there is a one-and-a-half-mile hike to reach Secret Falls.
Visiting Secret Falls is one of the most romantic things to do in Kauai. Yes, you must get a workout in to reach the falls. But the experience will bring you both closer together.
Okay, so if you don’t want to kayak and hike on your romantic vacation you have options when it comes to waterfalls. Opaeka’a Falls can be reached by car.
Another easily accessible waterfall is Wailua Falls. The best place to see Wailua Falls is from the road. Oh, and if this waterfall looks familiar, it should. It is the waterfall shown during the opening of Fantasy Island.
These are the best things to do and see in Kauai during your next romantic vacation. There are many others that I can share with you, like experiencing the Na Pali Coast, as I plan and book your Hawaiian vacation.
