I found this natural heart shaped coral recently while snorkeling. It just goes to show that even our underwater life celebrates Valentine’s Day. A perfect romantic getaway for two can be yours anytime at our Kauai vacation rentals. If you’re lucky to be on Kauai for Valentine’s Day, here are ways to celebrate Aloha with someone close.
Kauai Dining – Pick Your Favorite. Where to eat is the top request this week for our guest concierge team. Many restaurants offer a Valentine menu for fine Kauai dining. Another option is to eat in. I like to buy reasonably priced Hawaii lobster tails at Fish Express in Lihue. You can steam or cook them in your gourmet kitchen or on the outdoor barbecue at your Kauai condo or vacation home.
Write A Message.You’ll find your inner poet with these handmade cards from Hanapepe Library. Each one has a pressed floral arrangement and origami vase under a clear seal. It’s a bargain for $1.50 and supports library activities.
Share Passion Fruit Tropical Truffles. Other choices are mango, guava and coconut. They are made on island at Kauai Chocolate Company in Ele`ele.
Shopping on Kauai at the Museum. Their expanded gift shop 0ffers unique gift baskets and island jewelery. Kauai Museum also has orchids for sale on Valentine’s Day and other holidays too.
Do Something Good for Your Heart. With so many Kauai activities to choose from our guest concierge can pick the one right for you. You can learn a new sport like surfing or stand up paddle boarding. Play a round on a Kauai golf course. Sail away for the day with Holo Holo Charters. Or just relax and unwind on your favorite Kauai beach. Whichever you choose there will be a romantic Kauai sunset to end your Valentine Day.
