>> Here is my summary of info on Hawaii, especially Kauai.  I will just list 
>> responses by number, as I think they say it better than I would in a 
>> summary:
>>
>> 1) For Kauai, I recommend you get the book:  The Ultimate Kauai 
>> Guidebook, Kauai Revealed.  We used it for this trip and it has so much 
>> stuff to do in it as well as accommodations recommendations, etc. 
>> http://wizardpub.com/ There are also some ok websites if you do a general 
>> google search for Kauai. I wouldn't book any activities until you get 
>> there so you can get the best prices.  I'd say must sees are:  helicopter 
>> tour if you have the $ - ours was $150 per person, Waimea Canyon, hiking 
>> on Napali Coast.  After these there is kayaking and hiking galour and 
>> tons of beaches too.  Sometimes the weather is rough for some beaches or 
>> for ocean activities but I don't know what it will be in March.
>>
>> 2)   I will give you some information about Hawaii in general.  There are 
>> Outback Steak Houses here (which have gluten-free menus), although I am 
>> not sure there is one on the Island of Kauai.  You might try e-mailing 
>> Amy's (do you know the brand?) in CA. and ask what outlet they supply on 
>> Kauai and that might give you a good health food store.  Also, fish is a 
>> big item here and if you just ask at any restaurant if they would broil 
>> it for you, I am sure they would comply.  Lunch might be the biggest 
>> problem, of course there are the McDonald's types all about the islands. 
>> As to Asian food, you have to be careful - vegetarian sushi should 
>> probably be ok, but Shoyu is a big menu item here and teriyaki steak/fish 
>> is full of it.  The problem is that it may or may not have wheat in it. 
>> Also, chefs like Roy's and many others are there to make a name for their 
>> dishes and they use their own recipies. You would have to ask at every 
>> place as they make signature dishes with their own sauces.  You did not 
>> give dates, but I hope you get this in time as I want to caution you 
>> about camping in any locale on any of our islands in an isolated spot. 
>> It is not a good idea. You would be much better off asking HI Visitors 
>> Bureau for a campground where you need to have a permit or getting in 
>> touch with some authority over there for suggestions where they consider 
>> safety.  I know for a honeymoon you would like that ideal situation and 
>> you might make out ok, but I read too much about what happens sometimes 
>> and want you to take all the precaution you can.  You might check and see 
>> if there are any hotels that have separate cottages on the beach or 
>> somewhere that  has some security.  Years ago, we didnt have to worry 
>> about that, but we do now. The same would go for lookouts as Kauai has 
>> many beautiful lookouts up at Waimea Canyon area and you need to not ever 
>> leave anything in the car and be very careful if no one is around.  I am 
>> sorry to tell you this, but you want to have a great honeymoon and you 
>> just need to think about things like this.  If you want suggestions re 
>> places to visit on Kauai I am sure the HI Visitors Bureau website will 
>> have info on each island.  You might consider taking regular tours first 
>> and asking some questions before you go off on your own.    I hope this 
>> helps and know you can have a wonderful honeymoon - they call Kauai the 
>> Garden Isle and it is very beautiful.
>>
>> 3) The website you want is kauaidiscovery.com.  If you two love the 
>> outdoors, you have many choices.  Again, I would choose to take regular 
>> tours than going on your own.  There are rafting tours  - the Napali 
>> Esplorer - I did that and loved it.  There are biking and snorkeling 
>> tours. Because of the coral reefs around the islands, again I feel it 
>> pays to be with someone who knows the area and the seas.  There are 
>> waterfall hiking excursions.  There are Kayaking, horseback riding - 
>> there is the Kauai Backroads Adventure, a
>> four-wheel drive van - there are helicopter tours.  Places that you will 
>> want to see are Waimea Canyon, Wailua River and the Fern Grotto, Hanalei, 
>> Poipu.  If you go to the website, I am sure you will find info that will 
>> interest you.
>> \
>> 4) The north side of the island is the nicest.  Hike the Napali coast, 
>> check out the beaches west of Princeville for snorkeling  and this cave 
>> place called the Blue Lagoon.  There are nice botanical gardens both in 
>> the north and in the southern area (Poipu).  The one in the south was 
>> where they filmed Jurassic Park.  The Hanalei river is nice for kayaking, 
>> it is in the northern part. I went there before I was diagnosed with 
>> celiac disease, so I can't say where you should go to eat.  There was a 
>> health food store that I went to in the
>> north.  Kauai was great, enjoy it!!
>>
>> 5) In college I backpacked with a science class all over the islands. My 
>> favorite spot off the beaten path on Kauai was Kalalau Beach down the 
>> Napali coast. It is an eleven mile hike down a two foot wide switch- back 
>> path with a drop off to the ocean. It has a waterful next to the  camping 
>> area. We carried in all our supplies (there is nothing there)  and camped 
>> for a week. You can only walk in or swim in from a boat  that drops you 
>> out in the water (it's protected). But this was many  years ago so I'm 
>> not sure what all has changed. In any case the area  is unbelievably 
>> beautiful and the next beach down is Hidden Beach  with the fantastic 
>> gigantic lava rock arch where the Jessica Lange  "King Kong" was filmed.
