On Monday we went on a catamaran with Blue Dolphin charters. We started off on the south shore and went up and around along the whole na pali coast.
We saw two different types of dolphins on our cruise, the pacific bottlenose and spinners. Some came so close to our boat that the kids felt their spray! We also saw a whale.
The ride up was rough because of the swell from the north. Then we turned around and had a smooth trip back.
The coast was spectacular, as advertised. The towering green cliffs made the island appear to an undiscovered paradise. The captain said that a lot of movies and tv shows have filmed there.
We all felt like the trip would have been perfect if it were an hour or two shorter – five and a half hours is a long time. We did stop to snorkel and I saw a turtle that was so close I could have touched it. It was giant and magnificent.
After the cruise, we played in the pool at the condo. I thought the kids might be tired of the same pool but they are still excited to go. It’s gorgeous.
