Beaches & our Helicopter ride around Kauai




Coco Palms was the setting for the wedding scene in Elvis's 'Blue Hawaii' & a lot of the film was filmed here, but sadly this historic & fascinating hotel was destroyed by a hurricane in the 1990's, then suffered fire damage a few years ago. This is also one of the biggest coconut plantations on Hawaii & it's so sad that this resort has been left to rot away.


Our Jellicopter !!

The Napali Coastline


Spot the two boats entering and exiting the cave with the giant blow hole behind it !




The North Shore


Back on Terra Firma again!!

Hanalei Bay

Ha'ena Beach looking towards Tunnels Beach

Ke'e Beach, one of our favourites.

Salt Ponds Beach in the South of Kauai, another favourite.


Photos just don't do justice to the beautiful Kauai beaches but here's a taster.
Our helicopter ride around Kauai was awesome & we saw sites we would never have seen otherwise, particuarly the Na'apli coastline on the North West shore which has no roads and is very difficult to access on foot.

Spouting Horn & Waimea Canyon







Spouting Horn in the South East of Kauai.



Spouting Horn is a Lava Tube which is open to the sea. Waimera Canyon is called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Look at the photo's you will understand why. Both amazing sights on Kauai.

Here are a few chicks I have got to know in Kauai !!
