Na Pali Coast Sunset Sailing
When it comes to one of our all-time favorite sunset sails, look no further than a Na Pali Coast excursion with Captain Andy's. While aboard a luxury catamaran, couples will set out on an incredible tour around the Garden Isle of Kauai and the world famous Na Pali Coast. On top of being treated to breathtaking scenery featuring towering cliffs and lush green valleys, honeymooners can sail into the sunset via dinner cruises, snorkel tours, and music-oriented trips.

5. Visit
Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Park
A can't-miss destination while visiting Kauai, Waimea Canyon is known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific due to its 3,000-foot gorges. While there's numerous lookouts scattered throughout the park for road trippers, visitors can truly experience the canyon through its miles of hiking trails. Notable paths include KuKui Trail, Iliau Nature Loop, and the Alakai Swamp Trail (great for up-close views of rare plants and birds).
