Kauai

Back in February we were able to take a weekend trip to our favorite island, Kauai. It’s one of the most beautiful islands out here, and it’s not built up like Honolulu.

One of the days we were there, we decided to do a hike from Ke’e beach, which is on the north shore. The hike is called the Kalalau Trail, which is the same trail the use for the movie “Perfece Getwaway”. If you’ve seen the movie, nothing like that happened to us on the trip :) The first part of the hike is a 2 mile path along the cliffs that brings you to a beach, but in the winter during high seas isn’t swimable.  In fact, here’s the warning!

We’ve done this part of the hike before, and from here there’s 2 ways you can go. Keep going on the Kalalau Trail for another 9 miles (HA!) or go inland 2 more miles to a waterfall. We chose the waterfall. It’s was a fairly easy hike, and the waterfall was amazing. I believe it was about 300 feet high.

And of course when you get there you’re going to want to go in the water!

Did I mention that the water was about 60 degrees? Yeah, that’s kinda important!

What a surprise, we only went in the water long enough to take a couple of pictures!

On the return, we took a break at the beach and found a new friend that hangs out there. Looks like someone was hunry.

The following day was mostly a resting day, so we took a drive to Poipu Beach where we always encounter at least one monk seal. And they didn’t dissapoint this time!
