Each year, countless visitors travel to our beautiful island for a vacation getaway like no other. Whether you are here to see the beautiful sights, enjoy thrilling water sports, or simply to relax, there is something for you to enjoy on the island. Kauai also features many different romantic activities that make for the perfect date night with a loved one. Take a look at some date night places to visit in Kauai:
Hit the Beach
One of the first things you will do when visiting Kauai is hit the beautiful beaches along the shore. Make sure you do the same thing at the start of your romantic date night. Kauai’s beaches are known to be pristine and offer incredible views. While you can stay on more populated beaches, there are plenty off the beaten path where you can find some privacy. Head to the South Shore on Kauai to find several beaches that are perfect for a romantic stroll. In particular, Maha’ulepu Beaches are a great spot if you want to spend a few hours by the shore. This collection of beaches is made up of Gillin’s Beach, Kawailoa Bay Beach, and Ha’ula Beach. Expect to find pristine white sand along the beaches. Be careful during your visit as lifeguards are not posted at these reclusive beaches. The entrance is locked at 6:00 PM, so make sure you start your date early!
Enjoy a Picnic
Another great area of Kauai that is often secluded is Kuilau Ridge Rail. This trail offers a consistent incline but rewards hikers with beautiful views along the way. After hikers make their way approximately half an hour up the trail you will find a wonderful picnic area. Visitors will enjoy views of the valley below along with the nearby coast. A wooden bridge can also be found nearby that is perfect for photos. The more adventurous can continue on with their hike afterward or simply head back the way you came. The entire trail can take around 3 hours to complete if you continue on past the picnic area.
Enjoy Beach Activities in Hanalei Bay
While the South Shore of Kauai offers secluded areas, the North Shore is known for the more populous areas. Enjoy a date night by the beach in Hanalei Bay where you can find a variety of things to do. The entire bay stretches out for two miles. You can build a sandcastle with your loved one or learn how to surf together. Snorkelers will love the coral reefs that protect the bay and are visible just under the water. A sunset stroll along Hanalei Bay will showcase all of the wonderful activities locals and visitors can enjoy on Kauai.
See the Local Falls
Visitors to Kauai can find two waterfalls on the island that are visible from a stroll along the Kapa’a Stream. Take your loved one on a beautiful walk through the rainforest for a romantic outing. The walk itself is fairly easy and the tree canopy will make sure to keep you shaded from the sun. Expect beautiful views from the start of this trail up until you reach Ho‘opi‘i Falls. Since you will be walking through the rainforest we highly recommend you bring mosquito repellant with you!
Hit the Local Spas
Help your loved one feel absolutely relaxed by visiting a local spa together. Hanalei Day Spa is one of our favorite places to visit in Kauai that offers a variety of romantic activities such as couple’s massages. You can also order a variety of treatments such as facials to help look and feel your best. Kauai features plenty of spas in most cities across the island if you find yourself far away from Hanalei Day Spa.
Romantic Dinner for Two
Kauai offers plenty of incredible restaurants that feature freshly prepared cuisine and amazing views. Many of these restaurants are the perfect spot to have a romantic dinner for two. One local favorite is Eating House 1849 Koloa. This authentic Hawaiian eatery features delicious entrees that pull from historic recipes.
