Looking back at a cave entrance as we head inside. It was hard to see the walls very well as we got deeper into the cave. We entered several sea caves and one sea tunnel. Really cool old lava tubes. This image was taken with an SD850IS with an exposure of 1/640 seconds at f/3.5, ISO 80.
Another waterfall flows over a Na Pali cliff. I bet all the waterfalls would be running more fully if the island wasn't in a bit of a drought while I was there. This image was taken with an SD850IS with an exposure of 1/320 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 80.
Capt'n Ted steered out Zodiac through the entrance just left of center and we entered this cylindrical "theater" with vertical walls that must be at least 100 feet tall. And the water is really that blue. Apparently an episode of Baywatch Hawaii was filmed in here once.
Looking up one of the canyons on the Na Pali cliffs was quite spectacular. Near vertical cliff faces with lots of vegitation was the norm and exposed layering in the lava rocks on the cliffs told a story of island building and destruction all in on. This image was taken with an SD850 IS with an exposure of 1/400 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 80.
Captain Ted took us into our first cave of the day just past yesterdays waterfall. You can see our wake coming out of the cave area near center making a great contrast with the blue water and rugged cliffs. This image was taken with an SD850 IS with an exposure of 1/400 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 80.
One of many waterfalls along the Na Pali coast plunges into a debris covered beach at the base of the rugged fractured cliffs. This image was taken at 1/400 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 80.
A pod of Spinner Dolphins swims past our boat. If you look closely, you can see one below the water as well. This image was taken with an SD850 IS P&S with an exposure of 1/100 seconds at f/8, ISO 80.
