Imagine this: seashells, sunsets, beaches, mountains, waterfalls, papaya, pineapple, starfruit, sugarcane, wild chickens (just go with the flow here), coral, snorkeling, swimming, and surfing.
Today’s Dream Trip is to the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, known for it’s natural beauty and outdoor adventures.

Stay
The Koa Kea in Kauai
Stay at the Koa Kea Hotel situated on the white sands of Poipu Beach. More like a boutique hotel than a huge resort, the Koa Kea was ranked as the #1 most romantic hotel in the United States in Trip Advisor’s 20212 Traveler’s Choice survey.
Do
Tour the Waimea Canyon, take a cruise on the Wailua River and visit the Fern Grotto.
Snorkel on the coast of the Forbidden Island, Ni’ihau.
Go on a zipline adventure in the shadows of the Haupu Mountains & swim at Kipu Falls.
Enjoy a traditional luau and sunset dinner lit by torches.
Eat
A trip to Kauai wouldn’t be complete without shaved ice. Visit Jo Jo’s Anuenue and try the Haupia Special for a yummy treat.
Visit the Koloa Fish Market and try one of their cooked fish plats (topped with butter & garlic, teriyaki or wasabi cream sauce).
Craving organic? Try Postcards Cafe for fresh seafood and gourmet vegetarian meals.
Eat waffles topped with papaya, whipped cream, bananas, macadamia nuts with a coconut syrup while drinking amazing coffee made from freshly roasted coffee beans at Hanalei Coffee Roasters.
