This area had trees that resembled what they have in the everglades in Flordia. The kinds that have the long roots reaching down into the swamps. One of the groves that we passed actually grew over a very large archaeological site that contains one of the largest Hawaiian fish ponds in the state that is known as the “Menehune Fish Pond”.
Once we completed our kayaking we boarded a van that was waiting for us. Once we were all boarded we made our way to the top of a trail to a private waterfall that Island Adventures has access to. The trail was beautiful, it winded down a steep hill through the jungle until after a short time we were at a beautiful waterfall.
We swam and played in the waterfall for a while. Enjoying the cool water and the view we relaxed and explored around for a while until we decided that it would be a good time to go back up the trail to eat lunch.
Right by where the van was parked there was an industrial strength event tent set up with picnic tables under it looking out on the view of the valley floor with the large mountains rising behind them. Our sandwiches, chips and drinks were waiting for us on the table. We sat under the tent and ate while we enjoyed the view. After we were done eating we took some more pictures and then got in the van to ride back to the mouth of the river where my truck was parked. When we got back we said good bye to all our new friends and then cruised over to one of our favorite restaurants for a post paddle cocktail, it was a great day!
