Snorkeling Sights

Wednesday
Driving back into Hanalei, we stopped at an overlook over Hanalei Valley.


We went down into the valley to take a closer look at the Taro fields. Taro is used to make poi, a staple in the Hawaiian diet. Rick said the area reminded him of Vietnam with a similar look to rice fields.

We finally found a beach where we could snorkel. This beach had a reef quite a ways off shore so the waves broke out there instead of onshore, so it was safe to swim. Rick saw a couple schools of fish. Others on the beach we able to see sea turtles. I saw two fish. OK, I guess I'm not much of a snorkeler.

Another great sunset over Hanalei Bay.


Last night on the north coast. Tomorrow we head south. Only a few days left in Hawaii.
