Description: Discover the Garden Island of Hawaii at Nawiliwili Kauai, with its magnificent, diverse and extreme landscapes, from the nearly inaccessible Na’apali Coast to the wettest place on earth – the Alakai Swamp, to the colorful yet barren and beautiful Waimea Canyon. Take it all in with a helicopter tour. Then, settle into the natural beauty to enjoy the cuisine, the shopping, and the very essence of the Aloha spirit. Stroll over to Kalapaki beach for shopping. Look for the famous Nihau Shell Leis made on the island of Nihau by native Hawaiians. Enjoy the amazing locally grown tropical fruit in drinks, salads or over fresh grilled seafood in this exquisite, natural garden paradise.

Planned Excursion: WAILUA RIVER CRUISE & FERN GROTTO

3.5 Hours            Light Activity      # NAW-001: Free

Cruise one of Hawaii’s few navigable rivers, a gorgeous stretch of water.  Listen to Hawaiian musicians perform at Fern Grotto, a natural amphitheater.  Walk toward Opaeka’a Falls for a clear view of the spectacular cascade.

Notes: After a long 5 days a sea we arrived in Hawaii.  It was a cool 68 degrees with some overcast skies.  Forecasted high was to be in the upper 70's with afternoon rain showers.  We luck out on our excursion and had no rain until we nearly arrived back to the ship.  The stop at the falls was on the way back to the ship.  We stayed on the bus since it was raining pretty steady.  It's a small island and the nearby town was similar in size.  Once back to the ship we decided reboard, have lunch and relax.
