Napali Coast Open Ceiling Cave - from Boat by kwind

Napali Coast Open Ceiling Cave - from Boat

While in Kauai we explored the beautiful Napoli Coast via a helicopter and a raft. I thought I would show you both perspectives. Here we are about to go inside the open ceiling cave on our 14 person raft. It was very difficult to get a decent shot given the movement of the boat and the people everywhere. I should have had my wide angle!! My main album has the aerial version and you can see it here: https://365project.org/kwind/365/2017-04-09

Here's a bit of info on the cave:
This cave is actually a hollowed-out lava tube, and may have served as a place where ancient Hawaiians could rest in their canoes when traveling along the coast. To this day, we do not know what the Hawaiians called this cave, hence the “Open Ceiling Cave” best describes it. This natural cathedral boasts turquoise blue water, massive walls, and a bright sunlit interior.

On calm days, Na Pali Riders can safely enter the Open Ceiling Cave with the Zodiac® raft. The interior is large enough to circle around and treat passengers to a view of the sky above through the enormous open ceiling.
Stunting. The view, the capture.
