Kauai Island, Hawaii

While visiting Oahu I took a jumper plane to another Island - Kauai! I have always wanted to hike the Na Pali Coast after seeing Meg and Corbins beautiful pictures of their trip from when they were in college and dating!
This spider ended up on my face!
After landing at the airport, me and my friend Chris hitched a ride to Wailua to kayak to Secret Falls. It was full of tourists, me being one of them, but kayaking the wide river and doing the hike to the falls was very enjoyable! Afterwards we rode a bus to Hanalei to camp on the party beach. I dreamt of the Na Pali coast and woke up ready to see the place!
The view from the start of the Na Pali Coast trail. Here we come 11 miles!There were a few bathrooms along the Na Pali coast trail. OH MY to the bathroom scene.
Tiny frog. Tiny, tiny frog!
Wow- so awesome!
Almost there!
Yeah I'm here at the Kalalau beach, my destination. We stayed there four days and three nights eating lots of mangos, swimming in the ocean, wandering the beach, standing under waterfalls, doing yoga and watching amazing sunsets! Wow - I feel so blessed to have experienced it!
Hiking up the Kalalau Valley. That's where we picked our mangos and swam in the river.
Our dinner table every evening! Chris washing the dishes from dinner. Yes, the shower at Kalalau Beach!

Great Pics Anna! I cant believe that spider!? What a fun place to visit. I think the Napali coast hike was one of the highlights of my trip there a couple years ago.
