The kayak tour "bail out" beach Your choice after personal assessment |
Kauai's Napali Coast |
Note: After kayaking 12 miles along the stunning Napali Coast (not sure which activity was more breath-taking... the paddling or gawking), our group arrived at a kayak-only accessible beach for a well-deserved and immensely necessary-for-survival lunch. As we tore into our sandwiches and chips, our guides sliced fresh pineapple. Their advice to get us through the final 5 miles: Eat plenty of pineapple because the fruit contains Bromelin which helps your muscles recover. Now, why question the wisdom of a guy who leads 4, 17-mile kayak tours per week?? Brett and I let the information soak in during a little post-pineapple nap on the beach...
