Paradise-day six

We started the morning with the buffet breakfast at the hotel. Then we got ready for a great adventure. Today, we participated in the Outfitters Kauai Kipu Zipline Safari. It was an all day adventure!

We started kayaking down a river for 2 1/2 miles. It was beautiful. 

Then we hiked through the jungle to our first swimming hole. It is where they filmed Pirates of the Caribbean 4 (although I just saw that movie after we got home and it doesn't look familiar). 

They had a rope swing to get you into the water. 

Yes, I did it too. Once. Joe did it twice. 

Then we hiked to our next trip, a ride on a tractor trailer. 

We drove through open fields. This is where Raiders of the Lost Arc was filmed. The part where Harrison Ford is running down a hill to his plane (or so they said). 

We stopped for a nice picnic lunch and then it was time for a real adventure. Zip-lining!

The first one single trip down the zip-line. It was pretty fun. 

The second one was a double zip-line, so Joe and I went at the same time. To get off, they put up these ladders and pulled you down toward them. 

On this one, you had the chance to ride upside down. Joe took advantage. I stayed right side up. 

Then we took a short walk to another swimming hole. This one had a zip-line entry and an 18' platform jump. We both tried it all. 

Then it was another walk back to the water...

....where we have a nice boat ride back up the river to the start. It was a great way to spend the day. 

We had an appetizer and drinks dinner at a local place one of the guides recommended, Kalapaki Joes, when we were done. Then finished the night at Kukuis bar at the hotel for more drinks and a nice dessert. What a day!
