Honeymoon: Garden Island {Kauai}

The final five days of our Hawaiian honeymoon were spent in Kauai, the garden island. Unlike Oahu & Maui, RZ & I had never been to Kauai. Let's just say, it was love at first sight. Then we fell in love more & more each day with the tropical paradise of Kauai.

Live Aloha! Yes, please:


The abandoned sugar mills that dot the Kauai landscape are quite beautiful, yet haunting reminders of the island's history:


Blue skies & lush green are common sights in Kauai:


Shipwreck Beach is gorgeous but very look, don't touch! Swimming isn't recommended:


RZ & I satisfied our sun & fun craving with tropical drinks, palm trees & lagoon pool at our fantastic resort, Grand Hyatt Kauai:


By far, one of my favorite days was our relaxing, open-air Couples' Massage at Anara Spa:


RZ & I shared several casual, romantic dinners but only one included koi fish as our dinner companions! Tidepools consisted of open air, thatched huts nestled in a koi pond for quite a unique, rustic dining experience:


Oh, the sun, the sights, the relaxing:


Kauai was pure bliss for these honeymooners. Stay tuned to see & hear more about our two adventures in Kauai: Waimea Canyon & Napali Coast!
