Our Kaua’i Weekend

This blog may contain affiliate links: disclosure. Please see my suggested resources.

April 3, 2017 By Jennifer Lambert 24 Comments

In March 2009, Aaron and I spent a 3-day weekend in Kaua’i.

The Hawaii ITT trip was an all-inclusive (plane, hotel, rental car, meals) and Ni’ihau helicopter tour!

I don’t remember it costing more than $500 for all of it. It was an amazing weekend, the two us, alone. We’ve never had a weekend alone, before or since.

We stayed at the Kaua’i Hilton Beach Resort. It apparently is now an Aqua hotel and not a Hilton property.

We stopped at Fort Elisabeth to get a picture because our eldest daughter is named Elizabeth!

We enjoyed local beer at Brenneke’s Beach Broiler.

We stopped at Kaua’i Coffee Plantation and got a sample.

Chickens are everywhere! Some places, we were scared to get out of the car since they seemed ready to attack.

Monk seals are protected. In Hawaiian, they are known as Ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua, or “dog that runs in rough water.” You can see the rope on the sand to keep people from getting too close. It’s illegal to get closer than 50 yards to a monk seal or sea turtle.

Turtles were swimming near the rocky beach!

Another was sunning on the beach.

All sea turtles in Hawaii are protected by both State and Federal Law! It is illegal to kill, capture, touch or harass sea turtles. Fines can be as high as $25,000 and may include a year in prison.

There’s a place to pull over and park to view Spouting Horn, a rock and wave phenomenon that is quite lovely.

We enjoying seeing famous Wailua Falls!

Waimea Canyon was misty when we first got there, but then it cleared up for a picture!

We loved seeing Kaua’i. It was a special time without the kids!

    We went to Hawai’i for our honeymoon and stay on Oahu. We did a plane tour of the islands and loved Kaua’i and the canyon. I remember stopping at the coffee plantation. I’d love to go back to just visit Kaua’i someday. Thanks for sharing your memories with us at Creatively Crafty #ccbg :)

    Ahhhh Jennifer – I love these pictures. It makes me want to go, I have not been to Kauai before, but I have always heard it was beautiful and your pictures portrayed that. My husband have been to the islands twice. Once for our 10 year anniversary to Oahu and once to Maui for our sons high school graduation celebration as a family about 6 years ago. Thank you for linking up with #TuneInThursday this last week. I hope to see you again this Thursday at the linkup.

    Hi! I’m one of the co-hosts from the Welcome Home Wednesdays Link Up. Your post caught my attention because i am obsessed with Kauai. My hubby & I went there last October on our honeymoon. It was absolutely stunning. It was, hands down, my favorite place on earth. We loved the canyon and the waterfalls. Kauai Coffee Co was pretty awesome, too. There’s no place on earth like Kauai.
