Posting this a day late. Oh, well.
We took a tour called "Best of Kauai", which combined a guided van tour, a boat cruise up the Wailua river, and an aerial tour (except that, due to mechanical issue, the aerial tour is postponed until tomorrow.) And I took nearly 100 photos, so I'm going to be picking and choosing...
The Wailua river is one of seven rivers on Kauai, and is said to be the only "navigable" river in the state.
The Fern Grotto. I understand there was a wedding scene here in some movie or something...
The ferns were pretty much wiped out in Hurricane Iniki, on September 11, 1992. So was pretty much everything else on the island. 200 MPH winds will do that...
Wailua Falls. 175-odd feet. I hear there are trails down there, but none I'd want to tackle without technical gear...
Here we're back at the
Kilauea Wildlife Refuge at
Kilauea Lighhouse. This is a nene, the State bird of Hawaii.
This bird really took a shine to this guy's hat...
Considering how far down it is to this shelf of rock, this Monk Seal must be HUUUUGE!!!
(110 feet to the water where I was standing, plus another 100 or more feet across the bay.)
The lighthouse is closed for renovation.
A Green Sea Turtle. See statement above regarding Monk Seal's size...
Looking north towards Hanalei.
