I will always remember the first day waking up to the beautiful surf and sun. Since we got in the night before this was our first real look and it did not disappoint. We had a jam packed trip with several excursions and it was difficult to leave the property because it was so beautiful and peaceful.
If you’re planning on excursions on the other side of the island I would Recommend packing a day bag that will cover you for any unexpected weather. Helicopter tour was cancelled which we were prepared for warmer wear for the flight but had a change of beach and hiking clothes that came in really handy when we went to shipwreck beach and hiked to the caves.
An amazing trip I hope we get to do again. Hiking the Kalalau Trail did not disappoint. You can call in advance to get picked up at the colony resort or if you’re up to it, it’s about a 45 min walk from the cottage to Haena State Park Entrance - if you want to skip shuttle/parking and get an individual pass.
Thank you Kristina!
