Extreme Kayaking on Lana'i, Hawaii

  As I looked at the waves crashing along the scenic coastline of Lana'i, I hoped that my guests this week would be up for a bit of an extreme kayak. They bucked up to the challenge and we got some great pictures because of it. We dropped off our kayak group at a place called Armchair, right where the cliffs of the south side of Lana'i start to get very vertical and high. At some time prehistory a large part of the island landslided off into the deep channel leaving behind these awe-inspiring sea cliffs.

   Waves would crash over rocks as we weaved in and around. The conditions were just right for the blowhole to fire off once every few minutes. It even casts a rainbow over the kayaks several times. One team paddled so close to it I thought their stern was going to actually go inside the lava tube...luckily they didn't and they just got splashed instead of flipped.

  In the end it was a wonderful kayak on a beautiful day alongside an island that not many people get to visit. This is UnCruise in Hawaii and a pretty fun way to make a living.
