Hello all you wonderful ladies! My husband and I are going to Kaua'i in August for our 10 year anniversary. WOO HOO! Our 4 wonderful children are staying home with my mom and dad.

We would love to hear from all of you who have been to Kaua'i and would like to share your loves/hates regarding the island. We want to do some snorkeling and kayaking, but we've also heard that the helicopter tour is amazing. However, because of limited $$$ we need to choose... kayaking and snorkeling tours or helicopter trip and do the kayaking/snorkeling on our own. We have kayaked before but have never snorkeled. Recommendations?

Thanks!!
Shannon
