Kauai

The kids had an extra long weekend off of school so after a busy Halloween night we headed to Kauai for a few days.

The weather was great and surf was high which made snorkeling and swimming not possible at most spots on the northshore. But we had fun running from the massive waves, building sand castles and practicing surfing. Found a cool playground, went to a local farmers market, and lots of surf shops, and food trucks. We got plenty of shave ice and smoothies!

A major highlight was a boat tour of the Na Pali coastline. Only accessible by boat, helicopter or a 12 mile hike, the coast is incredible. We also drove up into Waimea Canyon which had some amazing views. The kids’ highlights were the dolphins on the boat trip and surfing all day Monday in Hanalei Bay! It was super fun for mom and dad to be back 5 years after our trip here for our 10yr anniversary and show the kids some of the spots we loved.
