Headed out early for a day on the North Shore. Grabbed some pancakes and a loco moco from Liliha. Arriving early allowed for a relaxing breakfast down at the harbor. Look what you found, a sea cucumber. What is that wormy thing?
Our original tour was cancelled due to choppy waters. Luckily, we acted fast and rebooked with a company with a boat that could handle it. Sharks?
Are we really going in?
Hell Yeah! We went in!
Sharks!
Garlic shrimp scampi @ Giovanni’s
What’s that you’re holding River?
A sea turtle at Laniakea beach.
The ‘alea’ula. This endangered bird knew the secret to fire but wouldn’t tell the demigod Maui so he choked it until it revealed the secret and as punishment he burnt the birds forehead with a red hot stick.
Baobab
Hiked to Waimea falls to escape the midday sun. Swam to the waterfall.
Pufferfish
Sea cucumber
Snorkeling at Shark’s Cove. Even saw our first humuhumunukunukupua’a.
While leaving Shark’s Cove, a local pointed out a pod of humpback whales just offshore. Another tourist let us see the pod from his drone. Awesome!
Had to stop and see the sea turtles at Laniakea beach again.
Had dinner at Helena’s with Chu Khoi.
