Day 8. Kaua’i

This morning we went to Waimea Canyon. This canyon lives up to the hype and I can see why it has been called the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”. The dead end of this road is at an overlook that is supposed to have great views of the Kalalau Valley. Unfortunately, the fog was thick in the Valley so we were unable to see the reverse view of where we had been two days ago. This area of the island is supposed to have superb hiking trails but with the threat of rain we didn’t venture too far from the car today.

After seeing the sites around Waimea Canyon we went to the south part of the island. Here we saw the Spouting Horn blowhole and then went to Kawailoa Bay took a walk on the remote beach here. To get to Kawailoa Bay we had to follow a potholed dirt road with many puddles that looked like they would swallow the rental car. For supper tonight we ate at Kaua’i Pasta, which was small but had good food.

Pictures from the today can be found here.
