Kaua’i 2012 South Shore

Jake and Necia of the Collective Photographers Travel Photography Kauai South Shore (1)

This past April, My lovely wife and I and our friends Steve and Anne hopped aboard a plane on its way to the small Hawaiian island of Kaua’i. We had been planning the trip since April of 2011 and though we had a few set backs ( we originally planned to backpack the Napoli Coast but due to severe winter weather, the trail was deemed to hazardous to hike) we were looking forward to an adventure. The following images chronicle our first week on the south shore of the island. We hiked, ate…ney stuff ourselves with poke and hawaiian shave ice, sat on the beach, snorkeled, surfed and explored. We wanted to experience all the island had to offer as well as get a little relaxation in the process. Our adventure will be broken up into three separate post. The first one is our South Shore Adventure. Over the next few months, I will be posting our North Shore Adventure and some Holga awesomeness. For now, come and adventure with us!
