Helicopter



It finally cleared up a bit and I got on a tour with Jack Harter Helicopters in the afternoon. The part with all the greenery and the waterfalls is Mount Waiʻaleʻale - one of the wettest spots on earth, with an annual average rainfall of 460 inches (11,700 mm)! It rains a lot in general on Kauai, but it quickly clears up and is quite nice since it doesn't get too hot.It was pretty amazing to go by helicopter, since you're hovering over the waterfalls and places an airplane can't go.

Thanks! I'm so happy you like it! Yeah, the pilot showed us loads of spots where they filmed Jurassic Parc, I haven't seen the film though.
