Photographer: Josh Eckels

First stop of the day: the botanical gardens Fuzzy plant Sugarcane Munched leaves Wacky roots Some flower Big leaves Looking out the steps from the gift shop Rainbow eucalyptus Scary looking branches Patterned leaves Bird of Paradise Probably not the rooster that woke me up early Rocky shoreline Setting up at Spouting Horn Spouting Horn - water comes under the rock shelf and the tide shoots it up in the air through a hole Nice spray A little more force Draining before the next spray Poi'pu beach Palm trees everywhere Shallow water Sea foam Draining sand Another group heads out into the river Riverbank Other boats in our group Looking down around the bend Lots of growth on the banks Trees Trees with vines Something to wade across The first crossing Down the trail to the waterfalls A short break to get attacked by mosquitos and listen to our guide on the ukulele Spider web, not nabbing enough mosquitos Chickens hanging out by the falls since it's snack time Secret Falls At Secret Falls Top of the falls My turn to venture out The secret of Secret Falls is out Approaching the falls About to get dumped on... The water's somewhat crushing after falling all that way Water and vines spilling over the edge The whole falls More chickens Nice blue sky Pools draining the falls One last shot of the falls The green room - vines taking over the forest Trudging through Wall of vines Vines underfoot Vines acting as stained glass from the outside Hibiscus flower Shadows start taking over the hills The second half of the paddling team Trusty paddle Afternoon sun
