travel diary: kauai, hawaii day four and five


on day four we did so more beach lounging.  we went to mahaulepu beach.  while exploring we overhead some folks talking about a hidden beach that was over the hills.  hidden beach?  yes please!  we went on a little adventure and found ha'ula beach.  although gordon made the trek in flip flops, it was 100% worth it.  we were the only ones there!




on day five we took a na'pali coast raft tour.  i would be lying if i said i wasn't a tad bit afraid of the little pontoon raft they put us on.  i held on for dear life (especially since falling off could have meant death for this non-swimmer!) and eventually enjoyed the ride.  


along the way we saw a couple of dolphin pods.  once again, we had photos and videos of it all but they are gone!












parts of jurassic park were filmed along this coast!



we stopped to snorkel.  this snorkeling experience was so much better than our mexico trip.  i was a little more afraid of the water 7+ years ago.  thank you madison for a few secret swimming lessons!
