Everything to See & Do in Kauai, Hawaii

In our second episode of our babymoon series here in Hawaii we have popped over to Kauai, the rain-forest island to show you everything what we saw, did and ate.
Where we stayed: Koloa Landing Resort & Spa Kauai: bit.ly/2W21ONK
After checking into our resort for the next 3 days at Koloa Landing Resort, an apartment style resort with a massive pool we headed out for S'mores before going down to have dinner at the Holoholi grill to try Poke for the first time.
The next day we started at sunrise to head to the Little Fish Coffee cafe to grab a bagel for the road as we made our way towards Waimea national park to see the breathtaking views of the waterfall, Kalalau Valley and the Napali Coast.
That evening we relaxed by the pool, went down the water slides before waking up the next day and making our way to the northsore to have some fish tacos and shave ice.

I've lived here on Kauai all my life, its a little crazy right now with the virus situation, but still, no place I'd rather be then here on Kauai. Wailua Houselots 🤙🏼🌴🌊

[@inthedms82]

How's it crazy?

[@MrFloydSaunders]

Kauai is truly paradise. I have been twice and look forward to going again. Didn’t do a helicopter, but did a plane tour and then the sunset dinner cruise and both a life changing beautiful.

[@vanessabanuelos889]

What?! No chocolate tour?? GO BACK!! Lol. When I went to Kauai, 6 years ago, my husband (then boyfriend) took me to this fabulous chocolate tour, where we sampled some tropical fruits, saw cacao trees, the process of making chocolate AND sampled yummy chocolate. I guess that can be on the next Kauai video 😉. I think it was called Garden Island Chocolate for anyone interested.

[@Nelliejc]

I’d say the coffee tour is amazing too!

[@vivianwohl]

Love the music. It is so fitting to the amazing shots of the canyon.

[@JettingJulia]

I LOVE Hawai’i! As a flight attendant the islands are my favorite layovers, I haven’t been to Kauai yet but am hoping to go! 🌸😍 safe travels!

[@jasonbabila6006]

What airline do you work for? AA has a daily sometimes two direct flights between PHX and LIH and I think two or maybe three daily flights between LAX and LIH, UAL has on daily between DEN and LIH, two or three between LAX and LIH, two daily between SFO and LIH, DAL has a daily between SEA and LIH, LAX and LIH, AK has multiple from the entire west coast to LIH, SWA has flights between Sacramento and Oakland to LIH.

[@flyingthenest]

yess we can totally see why!

[@EmilyClaireDaly]

WOW! I visited Kauai as a solo 18 year old traveller in my gap year and this is bringing back all the epic memories! Thankyou! 🙌🏼😄

[@laniesider2586]

How I miss Kauai so much!! The island that has great memories from my early childhood ( Wilcox elementary, Kauai Intermediate, and Kapa’a high school ). Life was simple back then, going to the beach, cruzin Friday night with friends and of course eating at Zippy’s restaurant that is open 24 hours. Kauai will forever have a special place in my heart ♥️ hoping to visit family soon.

[@kokoken1]

Now you know why Kauai is my favorite island, Jess and Stephen. I enjoy the Big Island, too, for the rugged reasons you mentioned, but "The Garden Isle" is always the one I love visiting again and again. Not too commercial, as Maui and Oahu are. And you hit the nail on the head regarding the weather -- north and east side, lush but rainy and a bit cooler, and south and west, dry and hot. Something for everyone. Please do go back to Kauai and spend more time. Glad you loved it.

[@JB-xk3gc]

I love watching yalls vlogs, inspires me to save up and travel with my husband and baby! 🤰🏽❤️

[@flyingthenest]

Ahh this makes me so happy!

[@marshamauldin6284]

Hawaii is a great place to return with your baby, so relaxing there!

[@ohlalachae5660]

I just wanna say both of you are my favorite vloggers. I love the cinematography and the vibe you two are giving. Love from the Philippines!

[@emmamulley2379]

Gosh I miss Kauai! It stole my heart! Visited for the first time in 2018 and my now husband proposed to me at Waimea Canyon. Also the Napali coast is breathtaking and you're right that view of the coastline at the very top of Waimea canyon is stunning by helicopter.

[@coast2coastdogs]

lived in Kauai for a summer in High School and have visited. The Nepali coast boat ride is insane. Some of the craziest views ever!

[@emmaeriksson7155]

The moment when Steve finds out about the water slides is a mood

[@flyingthenest]

hahahaha!

[@uwegrauert7680]

Wow, thank you that you remember it. Hope to see it again 🥲

[@shai-leinacosta4647]

And thank you for coming and enjoying urselfs

[@gloriainman4764]

We went to Kauai on our honeymoon back in 1996 and also when the Waimea Canyon and the Napali Coast. It was foggy at the lookout at Napali, but a couple days later we went on a catamaran and it was gorgeously breath taking. Definitely a place to go back to again.

[@koblet6404]

mahalos for coming down to our island good that you guys are showing how beautiful it is keep it up , mahalo nui loa🤙🏾

[@ds1379]

Great video guys! I love the upbeat attitude you both have. Its fun going along with you on your journey.

[@MissHannahBell]

SO glad you made this video!! We are going to Kauai on our honeymoon in October and this has been so helpful! So excited!!

[@jasonbabila6006]

That's my home island, I was born and raised there, I was raised in Hanamaulu and Wailua Homesteads.

[@flyingthenest]

oh wow what a beautiful place to grow up!

[@jasonbabila6006]

It is, it was so much better during the 70's and 80's when we had sugar cane fields all over the island and it wasn't as crowded back then, but the beaches are always great and so is the local food.🤙🏽 and my parents are still living on Kauai not far from where the very first Jurrasic Park movie was shot at and a few minutes from Opaeka'a falls and the old famous Coco Palms resort

[@v5Clone]

@@jasonbabila6006 weird flex

[@tommys2077]

Down side Hanamaulu 👍 . Definitely the best island to go to.

[@jasonbabila6006]

Tommy S I was raised at the upper side then moved to the lower side around 81 then moved back to the upper side then to Wailua Homesteads then to Oahu in 91 and moved to WA in 2000.

[@becgrinceri1170]

Ok... seriously though... the camera footage and drone shots in this vlog are AMAZING!! Such spectacular views and you’re editing of them was top notch!! This has just moved to number 1 on my bucket list! Nice work you two!! ❤️

[@jaciboughter6762]

Hey guys! I luv this? I watched this yesterday and then read many nasty reviews. I wrote one I took down this morning where I was just flabbergasted and mad about what those idiots were saying. I didn’t do dive today, but when I came back I did see how much nice and cleaner reviews were. I appreciate your effort to keep your channel positive in all aspects. I know you two are so positive, but I appreciate the effort you take to keep these comments in the theme of how you run your channel? Thanks for sharing your experiences, being positive and all your hard work you do to create amazing videos and keep your channel a source of positivity! You’re highly appreciated!!!

[@stephenwarren8671]

Awesome. There and Maui, my favs.

[@johncolvin3724]

In 1982 I spent a full month touring the Islands by myself. Arrived and departed with CP Air (Canadian Pacific), Dublin via Amsterdam, Vancouver return. Had a fabulous time there and your vlogs are bringing back so many happy memories. Jess, with the current health scare please be ultra careful. Loads of love from, GUESS WHERE? Oopppsss - you already know that, Dublin, Ireland☘☘☘👍👍👍.

[@seajaypaterson2391]

ok that chicken running at 5:04 is literally me when I see food

[@flyingthenest]

[@tommys2077]

There's like chickens roaming all over the island. Lol they are like the new State bird

[@dannytsen6175]

What a cute, down to earth couple. I love this. Super helpful, and you both are so pleasant and non-snobby (like some travel content can be). I'm excited to go!

I have a 24 hour layover in Honolulu in September on my way to New Zealand! You guys inspired me so so so much to travel!!! ❤️❤️

[@mkortex13]

Thank you for making this video! We're local but haven't gone to Kauai and we're going to check it out. This video was edited nicely and we want to do these exact same things. Super relax super chill! Mahalo🤙

[@fleur956]

I love the music used in this video!😍

[@sarahmanning7198]

I was there for 2 weeks last year in October and visited the areas you show in your video. I agree that Kauai holds on to the old vibes of the 1950's era. The most delicious foods I had were: Wihlua shave ice/the volcano flavor, chocolate custard pie with coconut pudding layer and fresh grilled jumbo garlic prawns from a food truck in Hannalei (the purple sweet potato fries were also yummy).

[@budgetspiffybiscuits]

We love Kauai!! We got to see the Na’ Pali by helicopter and boat, and I highly recommend both. The views literally rendered me speechless. We’re hoping to backpack part of the trail there next time! The chickens are great, and there are some wild pigs too that are fun to see. Such a good place, thanks for bringing back all my great Kauai memories!!

[@allisondavis2382]

My friends live in Kauai and they love it so much and in the beginning I have been to all the places you showed

[@cynthialeaf8358]

Love you and thks for such great content greetings from morocco :)

Kauai is my dream Hawaiian island to visit! It’s as beautiful as I picture it and one day I’ll get there. Also, whether intentional or not, I loved the “spared no expense” line being said on the island where Jurassic Park was filmed 😂

[@someperson9536]

Kauai is beautiful place. I've been there twice. I took a boat tour of the Napali coast and another tour of the Waimea Canyon. I've been to the luau at the Kilohana Plantation.

[@ChelseaHyland]

That's where I stayed last year. I loved Koloa Landing! Enjoy your time! Xx

Loved this video! Perfect combination of cinematic shots and more spontaneous moments :)!

😊😊

[@emmadoyle5926]

You guys definitely need to go back after the baby is born! My husband and were there last year for our honeymoon and there is a trail from Kalalau lookout that goes straight out almost to the coast and the views are breathtaking. We also did a boat trip around the Napali Coast - swam with sea turtles and dolphins and also an unforgettable doors-off helicopter tour of the entire island. Love watching this and having all the memories flood back. I miss the acai bowls from Little Fish Coffee so much!

[@flyingthenest]

Ahhh there are actually sooo many things I want to do here when I come back!

The drone shots in this one were gorgeous!

A new follower here! I'm from kauai and with this whole quarantine going on this has made me very emotional to see my home. So glad you both enjoyed it, next time get the boat ride to Na Pali , they say it's like the cathedral of the pacific. My other have is from Sydney Australia and I have a feeling (without watching your other vids) you both are too. Aloha & Cheers mates!

[@madselizabeth]

I saw the Na Pali cost by boat and by helicopter. The boat was so scary because the waves were so high and we had to sit on the side of the boat and hold on with a rope. The helicopter tour was the coolest thing I have ever done though! Kauai is magical.

[@BbyyAna]

Kauai was my favourite out of Maui and Oahu!

[@anhthai4183]

The house is very beautiful.

[@user-ir4no9pw4r]

Kaua’i AKA the garden isle. Our island is mostly green landscapes and have one of the wettest spots on earth, mt wai’ale’ale(i suggest to hike that). Thankyou for portraying Kaua’i so beautifully. Also i dont recommend flying in a helicopter on kauai (especially maverick company because of their issue with hawaiian salt beds). But i DEFINITELY suggest going on the boat ride for the nā pali coast. You’ll see whales, dolphins, turtles, and swim in clear open water etc. its amazing. Definitely go to polihale beach for an amazing sunset next time, its on the west side and west is usually more sunny 😊
