The boat trip around the island is extremely romantic!!!
It’s so small, it doesn’t get the crowded touristy feel the other islands can get – it’s our favorite.
Taking the hike up the mountain – Na Pali Coastline is an incredible way to spend a romantic day – at whatever speed you like! the view is so spectacular, and the path is curvy – allowing for private stops, and narrow so you don’t feel like you’re in a herd!
Poipu Beach (south end) is good; it’s the best place to find sun if it’s cloudy, on the N. end
check out the Princeville Resort, for swimming and hanging out.
There’s another Boat Tour or you can Kayak (for 2) down the Wailua River – or there’s a cruise to the fern-covered rock grotto, is awesome, and there’s music there.
Have a really wonderful time!! (be careful of chickens running across the road, if you’re driving!)

A place called the fern grotto has to be the most romantic place on Kauai. Lots of people get married there. I also loved going on a movie tour, the 4 wheel one is the best. You won’t believe all the movies that have been shot there. If you can afford it, then a helicopter tour is a must see. it is breathtaking. Also we loved going to one of the remote beaches with a picnic lunch. You have to ask a local how to get there. I just love Kauai. For a wonderful dinner, try Roys which is in the poipu area if you can.

My original answer listed about every stop you could imagine starting with Ke’e and ending in Polihale (from one end of the road to the other) but I decided to narrow it down.
-Lumahai beach on the north shore. A short walk from the road and well WELL worth it. Gorgeous stretch of sand, crystal clear water, and one of the best pictures you’ll get on your whole trip. Make sure to check the weather report, it rains quite a bit on the north shore.
-Actually the entire north shore is beautiful if you can catch it on a sunny day (it’s not as hard as I’m making it sound).
-Smith’s Tropical Gardens. Open to the public usually for a luau, it’s a gorgeous blend of tropical flowers right on the Wailua river.. Yeah, the Fern Grotto is pretty, but the quality of the tour on the way up has really gone down, and I wouldn’t recommend it.
-The Hyatt Regency is probably the most romantic hotel on the island. It has the best service, the best amenities, and the grounds are unbelievable. Of course, it comes with a hefty price tag, but if you can afford it, go for it. It will be worth every penny.
-A sunset on the west side of the island will be perfect. There are a few sunset dinner cruises you may want to look into.
-At the very least, take a nice drive up to Waimea Canyon and Kokee. Both great sites to see and romantic.
Hope this helps you, if you have any other questions, feel free to email me.
