We found Kauai to be a relaxing paradise, not overun with development at all (but home to a few wild roosters!) We think you'll love it too. 5 Top Kaui Attractions Couples Will Love1. Waimea Canyon - awesome colors of red, green and beige standout in this "Grand Canyon of the Pacific". Good views and hiking here, and easily accessible by vehicle.
2. Poipu Beach - When the rest of Kauai is cloudy, the sun is probably shining down on Piopu beach and the rest of the south coast.
Don't miss stopping in for a drink by the pool at the St. Regis Princeville Resort , and just sit back and soak up what has to be one of the most awesome settings for a swim anywhere!
4. Na Pali Coast - no romantic Kauai vacation is complete without a look at this stunningly gorgeous part of the north coastline. Maureen and I agree that this is Hawaii at it's most beautiful!
5. Boat Tour or Kayak for 2 down the Wailua River - take a cruise in Kauai to a fern-covered rock grotto, where you'll enjoy gorgeous scenery and live Hawaiian music. One of the most romantic places in Kauai!

Hideaways Beach - a great strip of palms and sand on the beach in front of the Princeville Hotel. Stunningly gorgeous views of Hanalei Bay, and not too many other people around.
Poipu Beach - even though it's popular, this is a fun beach for swimming, sunning, snorkeling, and lazing around. A lunch or happy hour Mai Tai upstairs at Brennecke's Beach Broiler (just across the road from Piopu Beach Park) hits the spot nicely after a morning in the sun.
Pakalas Beach - on your way to/from Waimea Canyon along the south coast, Pakalas is one of Kauai's secluded beaches great for a romantic stroll along the surf. And, as a bonus, there's views of the "Forbidden Island" of Niihau off to the west.
