This Fall I went on an amazing hiking trip to some of the most beautiful hiking spots on earth: Kauai’s NaPali Coast and the Big Island of Hawaii. Thank you to everyone who wrote in after the October Hiking Lady e-mail newsletter with trip suggestions. The hikes were full of beautiful vistas, friendly locals, and lots of mud! Stay tuned for trip write-ups.
Part 1: Kauai’s NaPali Coast.
In this upcoming blog post I’ll be sharing with you details about my hike along the gorgeous NaPali Coast on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever hiked, albeit quite muddy and slippery after a week of Kauai’s typical rain! Did you know that Mount Waiʻaleʻale on Kauai is home to one of the wettest places on the planet? No wonder the island is called the Garden Isle!
Part 2: The Island of Hawaii – Volcanoes National Park.
After a few days on the island of Kauai, I ventured to the Big Island. There I explored most of the island, from the eastern shores of Kailua Kona, to the cattle ranches in the north east, all the way to Volcanoes National Park in the southwest. I even checked out Mauna Kea, home to some of the best stargazing in the world.
I even had a chance to stand up paddleboard with the famous Hona sea turtles along the Kona Coast! The shells of these sea turtles can be over three feet in diameter, and can weigh 220 pounds!
Stay tuned for the upcoming Hawaiian Adventure blog posts and happy trails!
