While in Kauai we explored the beautiful Napoli Coast via a helicopter and a raft. The colours were spectacular particularly from the air!! I thought I would show you both perspectives. We were able to go inside this open ceiling cave on our 14 person raft. You can see it here: https://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/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.
@maggiemae You can only access the area via boat or helicopter. We were so lucky because it had been too rough to go inside for days but our small raft was able too. It was the best day our captain had had in a long time she said! I agree about the song - our boat captain told us about the video and advised us to watch it on mute!! HAHA.
