The coast can only be seen from a boat or a helicopter and also other features are best seen from the air. So I decided to go flying, my first ride with a helicopter. It was amazing and the pictures, I took, don't do it justice at all but they are a nice reminder.
On the next day we were doing the canyon tour by car, which gives some good insight into the canyon and a different view on some of the features, I flew over the day before. Here one of the waterfalls out of the helicopter
and in the left top corner as seen from the main out look (hmmm, I don't think, you can find it):
We stayed in the Plantation cottages in Waimea, a place, where the little houses from a former sugar plantation where transformed into very individual cottages for vacationers. A really nice environment with a reliable wake up call by feral chicken or better their roosters and some heavy thuds from the Mangos, falling on our roof. Lucky for us, that the coconut trees were a bit farther away

Delicious breakfast
All in all wonderful two weeks, a good start :-)
Looking back to Kaua'i on my way back home to Tokyo
