Located on North West Kauai along the rugged Napali Coast is an open ceiling (collapsed) sea cave called "The Bright Eye". It can be reached only by helicopter or by boat. This picture required leaning out the helicopter as the ride was "doors off". #AboveItAll Photo Contest #Trovember
Nothing more than a wide spot in the road leads to this secluded beach near Makahoa point on the North shore of Kuai locally known as Kahalahala.
Woke up early and made the hike out to Queen's Bath just after low tide. The perfect swimming hole if you catch it at the right time and a rainbow greeted us after the morning rains! @lens4change #endlesssummer
