Koningsdam adventure, Kahului, Maui...

Once again, I was up at the crack of dawn to catch the views as we sailed into Kahului, Maui…  Just lovely!  For the second day in a row Ann, Cathy and I took a flight adventure…We enjoyed a helicopter flight along the north coast of Maui featuring a bird’s-eye views of the coastline, spectacular cascading waterfalls and jagged cliffs. The pilot soared over the picturesque landscapes of the famous Jaws Surf Break, Hookipa, Road to Hana, Jurassic Rock with distant views of Haleakala. We landed in the Hana Rainforest…Here we explored Maui’s authentic and remote landscape surrounded by canyons on walls and natural lush vegetation including; native flowers, bananas and cacao trees. Our pilot shared information about this remote Hawaiian landscape, a land which very few people have ever stepped foot on. The landscape is fabulous however, we had some serious photo limitations due to reflections. They tell everyone to wear black to avoid reflections in the glass for photography…  Only three of the 12 people wore black, want to guess who??  We returned to the ship for lunch and our afternoon sunshine fix. Another fabulous day in Maui!
