DAY ONE: Kayaked up the Wailua River then hiked to Secret Falls and ate lunch there. Then we hiked back to our kayaks and visited Fern Grotto. It was such an exciting adventure, and not to mention a great work out going against the current and wind!!!
DAY TWO: Headed to the north side of the island to see the Kilawea lighthouse and the Hanalei Valley and Bay. I was obsessed with how the water crashed against the waves so I took a thousand pictures! It was absolutely beautiful but pretty windy if you can't tell...

DAY THREE: Boarded a boat to go whale and dolphin watching and to see the Na Pali coast (the part of the island you can't drive to). It started out amazing... Whales swam within 30ft of our boat, and the bottlenose dolphins were right along the sides of the boat too. My dream however turned into a nightmare when I started feeling sick. In sum I stood at the back of the boat for the last 3 1/2 hours of the trip throwing up anything and everything inside of me. I can honestly say I have NEVER felt that sick in my life! It was so embarassing!!! Oh and not to forget poor Shane standing next to me, trying to help me. I bet it was even worse for him! Hense the reason you don't see any pictures of us on the boat ha!
Humpback whales- they were huge!!! It was super hard to get a picture of them though.
Valleys on the NaPali coast... Look familiar? Does Jurasick Park ring a bell?!
Finally after returning to solid ground all I could do was sleep, so the rest of our plans were kinda ruined. Somehow I managed to accomidate for a little bit (or rather a lot) of hula pie :)
DAY FOUR: Enjoyed a little of "hawaiian style" church and drove up Waimea Canyon to Koke. I was shocked, I had no idea what we were in for. The view was spectacular! "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific" as Mark Twain coined it.
