Hawaii - Kauai & Honolulu
Spent the New Year in the warm islands of Hawaii. Kauai has a lot of nature and outdoor things to do vs. Honolulu is more happening for food, shopping and nightlife. Multiple celebrity spotting throughout our vacation.

Day 1 Itinerary
Places visited: Princeville Resort Kauai - Baby Beach
Princeville Resort Kauai
A picturesque hotel! This is view from our room.
Baby Beach
The beach right in front of the hotel - soft golden sand with crystal clear water. The beach is never crowded and feels very private.
Day 2 Itinerary
Places visited: Kalalau Trail - Princeville Botanical Gardens
Kalalau Trail
Princeville Botanical Gardens
This is not your typical botanic garden in a city. It’s a tropical paradise with beautiful scenery and landscape. Book a tour in advance before your arrival or you might have to wait.
Day 3 Itinerary

Dolphin & Whale Watch
We saw lots of dolphins but whales were a bit shy that day 😜.

Princeville Resort Kauai
New Year Eve Celebration
Day 5 Itinerary
Places visited: Sheraton Waikiki - Waikīkī Bay - Sheraton Waikiki
Sheraton Waikiki
Sheraton Waikiki is also right on beach. While our Kauai hotel felt relaxing and reclusive, Sheraton Waikiki is the opposite of that - busy, happening, and in the center of all actions.
