Kauai: Days 4-5

Day 4: Monday morning we were scheduled to take a helicopter tour of the island. I was amazed to see all the waterfalls and the Napali Coast line. We also flew inside the volcano crater, which is the wettest spot on earth. Awesome. (Pictures from a helicopter don't do it justice.)

After the helicopter ride and some lunch, we headed back to the north shore where we explored Anini Beach, but ultimately headed to Tunnels Beach for the rest of the day.

Day 5: On Tuesday morning we went to Hanalei Bay to go on a Napali Boat tour. It was awesome. We rode in a zodiac down the coast, riding the waves, going in and out of caves, looking at waterfalls and secluded beaches, and did some snorkeling.

After our boat tour we explored Hideaways Beach. It is a small beach not far from our condo and requires a small hike. Beautiful beach with good snorkeling. The next picture is taken from the trail. Look closely and you can see our towels through the trees.

Since Queens Bath was nearby, we decided to take a small hike to see what it was all about. We saw turtles, passed waterfalls, and got to swim in Queens Bath.

That night the we all went and did some Gong Meditation. I cant say much about it, I fell asleep instantly (too much Dramamine), but Scott loved it.
