Kauai {PART 2}

One of the days we headed way over to the other side of the Island to see Waimea Canyon. It was so curvy getting up there and I got so car sick! Supposably it is hard to get up there on a day that is clear, so we were so lucky to have had a clear day! So amazing.














Later that day we headed out on a Sunset dinner cruise along the Na Pali Coast. I was so worried I was going to be super sick since I didn't feel well from being in the car AND it was a super windy day with big waves. We picked up some medicine and luckily I didn't feel sick at all. They views were so amazing!!












On our way to Poipu Beach. I love this street with all the trees!



This was such a fun day. It's crazy how dry and warm this side of the island is compared to up North. There was a beach right next door that the boys and I snorkeled at and we were able to swim with about 4-5 turtles. It was really neat!

Blow hole


On the way home we did a drive by and saw Waimea Falls


Later that night we went to a Luau at the Smith Family Plantation. The food was awesome and the grounds were so pretty. Unfortunately, the show was SO BORING!!! Fun night though!










The next day we went to Queens Bath. It was pretty fun! There is this bowl of water in between the rocks on the edge of the ocean. When the waves get big, it flows into the bowl of water. We jumped and swam for awhile. Abe also had a near death experience going towards the edge of the rocks and huge waves crashed over him. A local yelled at us for being unsafe!





Into Hanalei for Lunch… Puka Dog!




We headed up the North Shore to check out some beaches. The waves were pretty crazy, so we mostly hung out on the beach for a bit.











The next day we went Kayaking up the Waimea River up to the Secret Falls hike to see the waterfall. So pretty!

















We stopped to see the lighthouse on the way home, but it was closed! It was still fun to see from a distance!


On the way home we searched for "Secret Beach". We finally found where we were supposed to park and hiked down to the beach. This beach was amazing! I was sad that it was so late in the day and that we hadn't visited it earlier. It would have been fun to spend the day there.









The very last day we spent in Poipu again. There was another turtle there that day, so we got to swim with the turtle and hang out on the beach.

We had a really late flight out, so we had a really nice dinner first before we headed to the airport. What a fun and memorable week!

We were welcomed home with a fun sign that my mom and the kids made. It was fun to see the kids again and they loved their hula gear! I am so grateful to my mom who watched the kids the entire week we were gone!!
