Our first day on Kauai was to explore the surroundings of the resort. Walking at the golf course, I spotted a Laysan albatross. The partner was sitting on a nest about 100 feet away incubating a single egg.

The Na Pali coast on Kauai is spectacular. Every time I see the jagged coastline, I am inspired and take a lot of photos. Yesterday the waves were crashing on the rocks and backlit by the setting sun it was a photographer’s paradise.

On the north side of Kauai almost at the end of the road, you can find the Limahuli Garden and Preserve, a valley full of native plants and birds, about 50 of them are on the verge of extinction.
