La Spezia, ‘the spice’ in Italian, is now serving breakfast and rustic, home style Italian fare on Kaua’i's South Shore. We feature house-made pastas, grass-fed meats, and locally grown herbs and vegetables, in an effort to bring fresh, local ingredients to our family-inspired recipes

Food and exploring!

Pedal. Coast. Marvel. Exhilarating half-day ride in the stunning Waimea Canyon that's all downhill and totally uplifting. Saddle up and give your pedals a few cranks, we'll start at 3,600 feet and then it's a safe ride down to sea level, stopping to marvel at the dramatic canyon cliffs and dazzling Pacific. Definitely the best views you can get, without even breaking a sweat Looks like we might have to go and do some real exercise after this one ;)

Brunching our way around the island :)

As most of you know, Jim and I are quite fond of cocktails. There are a few bars that we are very keen to check out and relax and enjoy an afternoon / evening.

Pan Pacific Whistler Village

The culinary cornerstone in the heart of Whistler Village, Araxi enjoys a long held international reputation for excellence in food, wine and hospitality. As an early pioneer of farm-to-table, Executive Chef James Walt celebrates locally sourced ingredients from nearby Pemberton Valley farms, where he collaborates closely with regional producers. His seasonally focused menus feature standout ingredients – from the freshest seafood catches direct from the Pacific Ocean to natural beef from Pemberton Meadows. Walt’s innovative and skillfully executed dishes deliver intelligent compositions and unforgettable flavours.

We will end the day getting out of the elements to enjoy a few different flavours at elements tapas bar and restaurant.

Escape to the Scandinavian Spa Whistler, the perfect destination to relax in the heart of nature in British Columbia, Canada. Rejuvenate after a long hike or day on Whistler & Blackcomb's slopes at our 20,000 square foot outdoor spa, which is only two minutes away from Whistler Village. Retreat to this Nordic-inspired oasis of calm engulfed in a peaceful spruce and cedar forest on the edge of Lost Lake. Soak in the calming hot water whilst drinking in the incredible mountain vistas.

Hukilau is a local restaurant that serves fresh local produce and seafood. We can't wait to try some delicious Poke and to relax and enjoy a few local tunes.

20 Wine's each for 20 something. Sounds fun!

We are inspired to try good food and a good beverage. The chef's quote seemed fitting. "I am inspired by traditionally prepared regional food that respects seasonality and is rooted in simplicity."

We both love fresh sushi and an ice cold beverage. Since the early 1970’s The Dolphin Restaurant has been a favorite of visitors and locals alike, known for the freshest cuts in seafood, second to none service, nostalgic riverside ambiance and a World Class sushi lounge.

Two single kayaks to adventure down the Wailua River to the scenic secret falls. You know we will race each other! Who is going down!?! hehe
