Exploring Kauai

Our time in Kauai was spent exploring the North Shore, with only one day trip around the island to Waimea Canyon - "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific" according to Mark Twain. Spending all our time near Hanelei was very relaxing and very beautiful. The north side of Kauai is lush rainforest everywhere, and witnesses by the dense vegetation.

We spent a lot of time snorkeling here, and saw the most diverse amount of large sea animals we have ever seen. We swam up on a shark, saw a couple of endangered Monk Seals (only about 1,000 known to exist), swam with turtles, lobster, and eels. The beaches there are beautiful, as seen in the picture above of the boys, and of the Tunnels Beach shot below.

The lighthouse sanctuary at Kilauea Point is absolutely gorgeous. I tried to capture it at sunset but could not get it to all come together. The shot below conveys how beautiful it is, and it is the largest clam shell lighthouse still used.

All the pictures of Kauai are up, and all the videos from the whole trip are complete. I need to finish up the shots from O'ahu's North Shore, and will be complete. I hope you are all enjoying them!
