A visit to Kauai is not really a complete visit unless you see the Na Pali coast. From air or water, the views of this coastline are simply breath taking. In all of my trips to Kauai, including numerous trips out the the Na Pali coast, I have always been greeted with fog and low clouds. My recent trip was the exception with high clouds and near perfect lighting early in the morning.

If you get a chance, visit Kauai. You might just fall in love with all that it has to offer, just as I have.
Cheers and happy photo’ing

These pictures are awesome! I am going there next week and can’t wait. What focal lengths did you use for these shots? I am trying to get prepared for a sailboat tour we are doing of the Na Pali coast and deciding what to take
I am on Kauai once or twice per year. If I shoot full frame, I will bring a 24-70 and a 70-200. If I shoot a 1.5 crop, I bring a 17-55 and the 70-200. Be sure to use a polarizer and take extra care to keep salt spray away from your camera. ‘We always go the Captain Andy’s and go in the early am (first boat out). Going in the early am, the seas will be flatter, and better sun angles. Best of luck. Drop me an email if you need additional information.
