Day 6: Success! While we didn't get to snorkel at Tunnels or Ke'e Beaches because the surf was still tooooo crazayyy and beaches up north are still closed until at least tomorrow, we did go to Lawa'i Beach in Koloa on the South Shore. We were there the other day for our Beach House lunch and it looked like a nice little beach so we decided to try it out for snorkeling and, man, what a great choice! We had an abundance of fish at our feet right off the shore before we even got out into deeper waters.
Just a few fish we saw:
Parrotfish
Needlefish
Reef Triggerfish...AKA: Humuhumunukunukuapua'a (it's just too fun of a word to not say it!)
Butterflyfish
Angelfish
Wrasses
Tangs
Pufferfish
Sea urchins
Seaslugs
Whitemouth moray eel
and a lot more that I either can't think of or don't know the names of! It was amazing and so neat. If Tunnels Beach really is the best snorkeling on this island then we have to come back sometime to snorkel there because Lawa'i was pretty awesome for not even being an honorable mention in the top-snorkel spots on Kauai.
After snorkeling and getting a good tan we headed back up to Kapa'a for some shaved ice and shopping. =) Came back to the condo, had some lunch, I did some laundry and now we're just relaxing until it's time for me to make some dinnaaa!
Tomorrow, Day 7: FINALLYYYYY our Whale Watch and Sunset Dinner Cruise of the Na Pali Coast! So SOOOOOOO excited! We decide to book this for the end of our trip and it's been hard waiting but it's going to be a GREAT way to spend our last full day on this amazing island!
Hope ya'll are having a great week so far!
