Wailua Falls

This 80 foot waterfall is one of the islands most easily accessible and most beautiful. It was made famous when it was featured in the opening scene of the popular 1970's/1980's TV show, Fantasy Island. It is very beautiful.

Me getting ready to go. Having a coffee and getting our stuff out of the safe.

Wailua Falls was amazing!














After seeing the awesome waterfall, we went to McDonald's for a quick breakfast and then headed out to the Kauai Coffee Plantation... pictures of that will fallow in another post!
Aloha!!

The Resort Grounds At Night

After it started to get dark out they had torches everywhere that got lit. It was really cool walking around with all the torches everywhere!

Chickens and Roosters!

When you arrive in Kauai, one thing you notice right away is that there are chickens and roosters everywhere! It is kind of funny. They are just walking around all over the place! Every morning the roosters woke me up just before 6am which was fine because that was around the time I was getting up anyway!! These were just taken at the Walmart parking lot.




A Little More From The North Shore

This is the same day as the lighthouse. We were on the north shore exploring.

We stopped and got a snack. Coconut M &M's and Peanut Butter Twix!

This was at a lookout in Princeville. It was beautiful.



I love this picture! (Above)

Kilauea Lighthouse And National Wildlife Refuge

We drove out to the north shore to see the Kilauea Lighthouse. It was so beautiful. Just before we got there we saw this tree and I had to stop right on the road to take a picture because it is so amazingly beautiful!! Look at the colour!!

This lighthouse (Kilauea Lighthouse) is perched at the northernmost tip of Kauai. It is 52 feet high, and was built in 1913 as a beacon for traveling ships. It's light was turned off in the 1970's and was replaced by an automatic beacon but it is still one of the island's most frequented attractions.

I just can't get over how beautiful the ocean was. The deep blue Pacific and the rugged coastline here was just breathtaking!

This is also the location of Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge and sanctuary for seabirds. Blaine and I walked through the Wildlife Refuge and there were signs throughout the trail identifying the area's bird species. It was pretty cool! There were so many birds there!!

Here are some pictures of our time there...























Moon Family... Ha ha! We had to take a picture!


This was cool. All the tiles on the ground say something different.


This little island was covered with birds. You could see them through the binoculars!






We searched for dolphins because they said that you could see them from here. We weren't lucky enough to catch any in our view though!!

We took these 2 pictures through the binoculars that were there!
