Hawaii Day 7

Day 7: This was the day I was most exciting for, the Napali Coast Tour. We had planned on spending a little (okay, a lot) extra money to go on a really nice catamaran boat tour where they take you snorkeling and touring for over 5 hours. 


To start off the morning, we got up an hour earlier than we normally would've just to go get more banana pancakes from Tip Top. Totally worth it even though it we got up at like 5 am.






On the tour we saw sea turtles, flying fish and a huge group of spinner dolphins that would jump out of the water and do tricks. It was incredible!It was a stormy the whole day (but didn't rain on us!) so the waves were HUGE! We stood at the front of the boat, which was seriously catching air on the waves and our bodies would literally lift off the boat floor. It was so much fun. Everyone on the boat was screaming like it was a Disneyland ride.















When we finally got the coast (it takes about a hour+), we got about a mile in and a woman hit her head and was bleeding, so we had to turn around and go back. I was so disappointed and not in the least bit sympathetic for the dumb woman (she was standing up when she wasn't supposed to when she got hurt and she made us turn around, but yet she was okay enough to be guzzling down beer on the return trip).

Luckily we still got to see part of the coast and have a lot of fun still. Overall it was amazing, but we are going to have to go back to Kauai soon to get the full boat tour. Too bad. (are you making note of this, Devin?).








We also got shave ice at Jo Jo's, which was recommended by everyone and top ranked in our travel book, but was our least favorite of the trip. I blame the dumb woman who ruined our boat tour.
