Makawehi Point...and our Longboard Lager commercial!
Makawehi Point at Shipwreck Beach
(made famous in Six Days/Seven Nights!)
Because every 5 minute hike deserves to end with a brewski!
Cheers!
No, we were not paid to take these photos :)
At the actual point
(sorry, we did not do any cliff diving)

Someone else's handiwork - pretty neat!

Shenanigans around the hotel
Lunch at the pool bar - getting ready to cheer on the Buffs!
Water feature at the hotel
Koi pond!
Terraced ponds
Yes, we drank a lot of Longboard while we were there!
Sunset Whale-Watching Cruise!
This was about 5 minutes before we got soaked and decided that sitting at the front of the catamaran was going to make for a very wet day!
Spinner dolphins!
Having a blast!
Na Pali Coast, here we come!
Na Pali Coast
Rock formations - Hawaiian mythology says that they are "moon children" who stayed and played too long and turned to stone when the sun rose...
Spirit of Kauai sail
Boat wake
We made it to sunset!
Beautiful sunset on the water!
We did see many whales - just didn't capture any shots of them with the camera!
Welcome to Kauai!
