Ha'ena State Park, Hanalei

We drove to Haenna State Park to disembark on our kayaking trip which was 16 miles along the coast that is only accessible by boat, hike or seen in a helicopter. This experience was one of a lifetime for me. We had been to Kauai 4 times before and each time said that we had wanted to do this trip, but never did. But.......finally we did it and it was unbelievably scary at first as the waves to me were monstors. We don't have waves in Vermont!!!! Our guides and leaders were the best. We kayaked into caves and under waterfalls, had lunch on a deserted beach and hiked to another fresh water fall, found some noni fruits, and paddled our hearts out. It was terrific and I would do it again. The park was close to the trail head of the Kalaulau trail. There was wonderful snorkeling, dry caves, wet caves (and a special place called 'the blue room'), tunnels, camping, snack bar and wonderful people.
