Kauai's tropical climate is tempered by cool, balmy trade winds. Temperatures generally range between the high 60's and the low 80's. There are lush river valleys and mountaintop rainforests, as well as miles of sun-drenched sand. One of the interesting features of the landscape is that no building is allowed to be higher than a coco palm, opening up amazing vistas of the horizon's natural beauty.
Kauai is also known for its relaxed, quiet atmosphere and is a welcome escape from the crowds and hustle and bustle of everyday life. There are many beautiful parks that are ideal for a sunset picnic and stargazing. Magical waterfalls and ponds, and secluded beaches for romantic walks are all available to honeymooners.
If you are looking to be more active on your honeymoon, you may consider one of the many popular recreational activities offered on Kauai, including sightseeing tours, kayaking, snorkeling, horseback riding, fishing, bicycling, hang-gliding, and golf.
For divers and snorkelers, Kauai's warm blue waters remain a constant 72-76 degrees year-round, and coral reefs offer an unforgettable experience. Schools of tiny, colorful fish will swarm to greet you in their underwater kingdom. This spectacular opportunity is ideal for beginners and veterans alike.
There are many beautiful destinations on Kauai. If you enjoy sightseeing, your trip would not be complete without exploring some of them.
The Na Pali wilderness, a natural barrier, is considered to be among the most impressive wilderness areas of the entire Pacific. Dizzying peaks and cliffs, shelter magical valleys and sea caves, and all of it is accessible only by helicopter, on foot, or by sea. Waimea Canyon is part of this natural beauty. Reaching depths of up to 3,600 feet and spanning 10 miles at its widest points, Waimea Canyon is known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.
Fern Grotto, a natural amphitheater, is navigable via kayak or, for those less brazen adventurers, via a Fern Grotto boat ride. The cave is filled with ferns, which create mystical, glowing, green plays of light.
An ideal honeymoon adventurer's destination is Wailua Falls. This incredible waterfall plunges a startling 80 feet into a round pool. It was traditionally a Hawaiian test of nobility to dive into the pool, as commoners were believed to lack the spiritual power to survive the plunge.
Of course, no Hawaiian honeymoon is complete without a luau. Complete with dancing and feasting fit for kings, this is also a wonderful opportunity to learn the language of the hula with its hypnotic movement and storytelling gestures.
The warmth, peace and beauty that you experience on Kauai will stay with you long after your honeymoon is a happy memory. Let the warm sands and waters embrace you, as you are embracing your new life together.
