> 16) You are going to love it! We had so much fun in Kauai. Most of the
>> fun stuff we did we got from this great guidebook. It is called "The
>> ultimate guide to Kaui" or something like that. It is a blue book with a
>> pic of the island on the front. It has lots of off the beaten path type
>> stuff and some crazy adventures. The best thing we did on Kaui was hike
>> out to Kalalau beach on the napali coast and camp there for several
>> nights. it is a 11mi hike in, but you don't need to bring much stuff
>> since the weather is so nice so it is totally doable in one day. You will
>> need to get permits in advance. You may be able to stay even if you can't
>> get permits since there were tons of people doing it while we were there.
>> there is a waterfall a few miles in that is also a must see. There was one
>> other hike we went on that I cannot remember the name. It is in the
>> guidebook and it is a loop that takes you to the edge of the island
>> overlooking this amazing deep valley. There is lookout at the end where
>> they filmed some movie (seven days and six nights maybe).
>> We also went kyacking and had a great time. Unfortunately i can't
>> remember the name of where we went either. We rented the boats and then
>> loaded them on the car and drove to another small river. The guidebook
>> will talk about it going to a waterfall at the top of this stream which
>> may be privately owned by some horse guides and says private prop. There
>> was almost nobody there and was really adventurous and beautiful. We
>> didn't do much swimming or snorkeling on Kaui because we saved it for maui
>> but you HAVE to go snorkeling. We found one restaurant at the nice hotel
>> next to the Best Western that we stayed at. It had lots of local food and
>> really good Mai Tia's.

>> 17) I would strongly recommend that you pick up the following book - The
>> Ultimate Kauai Guidebook: Kauai Revealed (Ultimate Kauai Guidebook) by
>> Andrew Doughty, Harriett Friedman (Paperback - August 2001). SO and I used
>> the book as our guide and had a great time exploring all of Kauai's nooks
>> and crannies. I would consider us to be adventurous and athletic - SO
>> more so than me. We have our own kayaks, we scuba dive and sail, camp,
>> run, triathlons(SO), etc. but we also like to be pampered.
>>
>> Kauai offers lots of adventure. Some of the things that I really enjoyed
>> included the hike to and the swim in Queen's Bath (Only go
>> during the suggested tide. It has potential for being very dangerous.).
>> We hiked half of the gorgeous Na Pal Trail, but if you go the full
>> distance 11 miles-ish you can camp and then hike back the next day. It's
>> quite remote and rigorous and you have to carry everything in and out,
>> but it would be a great adventure and a gorgeous place to spend a night of
>> your honeymoon. It's on the beach! It was fun trying to locate the place
>> where the opening scenes of Jurassic Park were shot, but if you're
>> interested in this I would strongly suggest you rent a Jeep Wrangler. We
>> had a convertible 2 door and it was the wrong choice in vehicles for our
>> needs.
