To zip or not to zip

John and I are returning to Hawaii in a few weeks. The last time we were there was Aug 1998 for our honeymoon. We have been planning out activities for this trip the past few days and I thought I would ask for some opinions. We will be in Kauai for 5 days and Maui for 4 days. We have never been to Kauai before, but we here it is less commercialized and very pretty. We have heard that the hiking there is amazing so we are definitely doing that one day...and of course, some beach and snorkeling time. What we have been thinking about is a deep sea fishing trip or maybe a zip line tour through a forest of waterfalls?? There were also some cool tubing thing or a kayaking trip brochure to think about. We already parasailed on our honeymoon and have decided to avoid a horseback ride or take a helicopter ride. So I think we are looking into not so popular activities now, the rustic and adventurous side of Hawaii...any other suggestions???

Hi Deanna! We went ziplining on our honeymoon in September & it was AWESOME!! Unfortunately we did it on our next to last day there or we would've done it again. I'm sure our scenery in Mexico wasn't anything close to Hawaii - I would definately go for it! A forest of waterfalls - WOW! Ours was super fast paced - kind of physical - climbing, etc. (nothing bad) but was a HUGE rush & really really fun! Can't wait to hear (read) about your trip - Have a great time!! Catherine

BACKPACKER Magazine has some hiking/kayaking ideas.

NaAlaHele, a HI government site, has lots of wilderness experience ideas.
