Friday Fotos — Na Pali Coast hike with a dream view

March 10, 2017 By Terry 3 Comments

Na Pali Coast hike
The Na Pali Coast hike can be challenging. But, the views once you make the initial climb are nothing short of spectacular. Thanks to my cousin Sharon for this shot!

My cousin Sharon made her first trip to the Garden Isle recently. After months of planning and anticipation, the time to see this beautiful island arrived. I have to say she had the luck of the Irish going for her. She and her boyfriend Scott went hiking on the Na Pali Coast and here’s what they saw. True, Kaua‘i does have perfect days like this one quite often. But, wow, this view takes my breath away. What a perfect view (and photo!)

Friday Fotos — Na Pali Coast from the sky

March 3, 2017 By Terry Leave a Comment

Na Pali Coast - the easy way - helicopter
My cousin Sharon took a helicopter ride while visiting Kaua‘i and Mother Nature cooperated with the fab view.

My cousin Sharon recently took her first-ever trip to Hawai‘i. They were smart and took in all the big attractions which, in Kaua‘i’s  case are mostly natural. Helicopter tours are a must on a trip to the Garden Isle and here’s one of the big reasons why—the Na Pali Coast. With cliffs that rise straight up from the ocean, waterfalls that never stop, razor-sharp mountaintops, a helicopter is the only way to see some of the most spectacular views in the world. Mahalo for the pix Cuz!

Friday Fotos — quaint house along Anini Beach Road

February 4, 2017 By Terry Leave a Comment

House on Anini Beach Road
We found this place while walking along Anini Beach Road on Kaua‘i. It looks like it should be in a movie, yah?

On Kauai’s north shore lies Anini Beach. The road paralleling the beach (Anini Beach Road) is more than a mile long and turns to dirt partway along the road. If you continue past the pavement along the dirt, there are homes on the mauka (mountain) side of the road. When I saw this place, it reminded me of something straight out of a movie. I could just imagine an old curmudgeon walking around the side of the garage pushing his wheelbarrow. Given the view of the blue Pacific right across a small dirt road, this little fixer upper would probably sell for well north of a million dollars.

Friday Fotos — the rocky Kauai coastline near Spouting Horn

February 3, 2017 By Terry Leave a Comment

Kauai coastline at Spouting Horn
The coastline near Spouting Horn on Kaua‘i is rocky and a place where watching the waves could become addictive.

The Kauai coastline near Spouting Horn is a remarkable landscape. I’m always in awe of the way the ocean waves roll in and crash against the lava rock. This endless rhythm of white crashing surf punctuated by silence can create an almost zen-like experience for those who are patient.

The legend of Spouting Horn

Those who take a tour to Spouting Horn will probably hear the legend of Spouting Horn. According to the legend, the moaning from the blowhole is caused by a giant lizard that was trapped after he chased a young boy into the undersea cave. As with so many of those legends, it’s a story of bravery and fantasy. Call me old-fashioned, but I love those old legends. I also love the Kauai coastline, which is why I included both in Kaua‘i Temptations.

Friday Fotos — Kokee Park clouds roll in

January 20, 2017 By Terry Leave a Comment

After making the drive from the west side of Kaua‘i to Koke‘e Park, it only makes sense to go to the end of the road. There could be almost white-out conditions, which can happen when the Kokee Park clouds roll in. Of course, even those conditions can be incredible.

Not that long ago, the road could be a bit treacherous, but during our last trip, it had been repaired and was easily driven. The lookout is at the end of the road, and it can be a trip well worth making—albeit Mother Nature is in complete control of what you get up here. We’ve been at the lookout on days when we could see 4,000 feet down to the ocean—or not at all. In fact, just stick around for a while and the view can change dramatically, revealing unbelievable vistas that will take your breath away.

Kokee Park clouds roll in.
When the clouds roll in at Kokee Park, it’s like a thick ground fog. Where you see those clouds, there’s a drop of almost 4,000 feet. We’ve seen days when the ocean is crystal clear and others when it’s like this.

Friday Fotos — Kauai coastal view

January 13, 2017 By Terry 2 Comments

Last week’s photo showed off the Pineapple Dump since the improvements made several years ago. This week, we’re going a little further along the walking path to a spot where there’s a great lookout, complete with a terrific Kauai coastal view, a picnic bench, and delightful trade winds. By the way, look at those Heliotrope trees along the shore. They give an indication of how constant those trade winds are.

Kauai coastal view
Just up the trail a bit from the Pineapple Dump, there’s a great little spot to sit down and enjoy the scenery. What a soothing view!
