Default You will LOVE Kauai!!!

Hey girls! I am actually a Jamaica bride, but I have been to Kauai and just wanted to tell you all that you couldn't have picked a better place!!! It is absolutely gorgeous!

If you have any questions let me know!

Also, I would strongly recommend doing a dinner cruise on the North Shore!!! That is the prettiest place on the island!!

We are honeymooning there as well but haven't set our itinerary - we just know where we are staying!

I'm trying to think of some "Can't Miss" things:

The Waimea Canyon is AWESOME! I got really car sick driving up it, but it was really cool!

I will have to look into the name of the Luau that we went to... it was family owned land and you went through a tour where they had each area of land that showed the history of Hawaii, and then they had the pig ceremony (of course!!) and after dinner the show was AWESOME!

Also, I definitely recommend surfing or at least taking a lesson! My cousin and I took lessons and had a blast!

We also went on a dinner cruise on the North Shore which was cool because they pointed out areas that were used for different movies or music videos.

I heard their helecopter tours are amazing!! We just didn't want to spend that much money!! (My cousin and I went there after graduating college!) There is one that takes you to where they filmed Jurasic Park... you can ONLY get there by helicopter! I heard it was great! I wish I had done it! =(

Hope that helps!

Waimea is amazing.. breathtaking views. I suggest to everyone to rent a convertible mustang and just drive around the whole island.. it only takes about 2 hours if that.

Was it the Smith family? They do the Fern Grotto cruise up the river as well.

There is an ATV Tour to the movie locations that is really fun too.

I did the helicopter tour when I went there and it was absolutely amazing and totally worth the price IMO.
