Tropical weather systems brewing over the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, gather against the towering cliffs of Napali producing almost constant rains high upon the cliff tops, eroding the unstable volcanic soils and rock, providing its weathered appearance. The most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen are in these cliffs, some thousands of feet high. Napali can only properly be seen by helicopter. The lush green color was refereed to as broccoli tree forests by the helicopter pilot, and they do look just like broccoli. Napali is unlike almost every other place I've been, in that it has qualities of what I imagine Heaven to be like closest to God. He must have created it late, very late on the 6th day when He was at His best.
There are helicopter tours from the east side of the island near the airport |
