Explore Kauai


Today was my favorite day of the whole trip!  Eric and I took this Mustang convertible out to explore the entire island.  We stopped at random places trying to embrace all that Kauai had to offer.




Waimea Canyon was gorgeous!  The colors are so vibrant that are hard to translate in photos.







It just never gets old looking out at the ocean and hearing the waves breaking on the coast.  Do you think we would feel the same if this was surrounding us every day?  I think so.


Salt Pond Park allowed us to get up close to a sleeping monk seal.  It was particularly funny to watch it wake up and roll over.


Our next stop was Spouting Horn.  Over the years, the crashing waves have eroded the lava rock leaving narrow openings in which the water rushes through resulting in very high surf spray.   It was a spectacular sight to see.

Another of our favorite stops was at Kauai Coffee Plantation.  With thousands of acres of coffee trees, Kauai Coffee Company is the largest coffee grower in the US.  We especially enjoyed sampling their coffees.  Toasty Banana Nut Cream was my fave!


We returned to Salt Park Pond for the sunset and it sure did not disappoint us!
