Kaua'i, Hawaii (Oct 11)



Hike to Queen's Bath


This was a relatively easy hike down through a tropical forest to the lava shelf shore. The hike itself is just as rewarding as the destination spot. There's a little waterfall that follows the trail down. The sounds of the water and birds combined with the scent of passion fruit made this hike such a treat!

The lava rocks create pools of water - some safe to swim in - others not so safe. We snorkeled in one of the pools and saw some beautiful exotic fish.

The hike down...

















Not a safe place to swim!





Snorkeling with Tulip in tow



For some reason we forgot to take a picture of the overall 'bath'... so here's someone else's pic!




The hike back up...



















Couldn't resist - I just had to get under the waterfall.
Plus it was a great way to wash the salt water off.










Tulip, pretty much at the end of every day!
