We had such a relaxing time in Kauai that we hope to be back again for an anniversary soon! Bel says we’ll be back in 3 years!

Some quick highlights:

  • Best local food: Pono market – the pork lau lau and tuna poké were amazing!
  • Best high end food: Kauai Grill – the black pepper octopus, and the Kona lobster were definite standouts! Honorable mention: The Tavern – Roy Yamaguchi’s take on comfort food didn’t disappoint. The braised short ribs and clams w/frites were delicious!
  • Best island activity: Paddle boarding on the Hanalei river. The perfect activity to just relax, unwind, and enjoy the moment, all while taking in breathtaking views of the island!
  • Most unexpected moment: Maneuvering the single lane bridges on the north side of the island.
  • Lastly, a window-side glimpse of us relaxing in our hotel suite.
