Wamea Canyon


Next in our trip through the Hawaiian Islands was the port of Nawiliwili on the Island of Kauai. This island ties for my favorite with Maui (which I will share in the next two instillations.) Kauai has beautiful countryside all over the island. The San Francisco gang had yet another companion this time. In the group photo you will see Steve, Alex, and myself accompanied by Darren and Michael. We rented a car again and this time Steve drove. Because he’s Australian, we all teased him about driving on the right side of the road and when I started taking pictures of him driving he posed real quick like he was crashing. But luckily he’s a very good driver and now he’s taken over most the driving on our trips.

Our first destination was the Wamea Canyon, which is dubbed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. It was spectacular, I’m afraid no picture can do the place justice. Then we went hunting waterfalls. We ended up hiking to the bottom of a large waterfall down a steep muddy trail that a local told us about. It was a tough climb, but it was worth it. There was no one at the bottom we had it all to ourselves. We all had a great time on this trip.
