Hawaii Week 2 - The Garden Island of Kauai

E komo mai i Hawaii! I had the pleasure of exploring both Oahu and Kauai over the course of 2 weeks and will share all the must dos! Now, onto Kauai otherwise known as the garden island!

Where to Stay

We stayed both at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort located in Poipu as well as at the 1 Hotel Hanalei. Both these hotels are simply stunning and definitely great choices for a luxury stay on the island.
