Hawaii--Day5

Today we went on an adventure tour called "Flumin' da Ditch." I couldn't explain it in the elegant detail like the company's website so I'll just let you read what they say: "One of the Big Island of Hawaii's most popular tours is back after a 5 year haiatus! The Kohala Ditch has been repaired, and Kohala Ditch Adventures has begun operating the Flumin' Da Ditch tour once again! Guests float on inflatable kayaks for approximately 90 minutes as you cover a little less than three miles of this historic irrigation ditch. Your guides will share the history and folklore of the area, and lead you on this floating adventure through 10 tunnels, across a number of flume structures (bridges that carry the water over gulches), and past native flora and fauna. After a Pinzgauer ride high into the Kohala Mountains and a short nature walk, your floating adventure will begin. You will wear headlamps supplied for you so that you can see inside the many tunnels that you navigate. At the conclusion of the kayaking you are transported on 6 passenger guide-driven ATV's through a macademia nut orchard and back to the base area." -Kohala Ditch Adventures It was a very neat experience! Dad, Gary and Taylor had to work paddling, the rest of us got to enjoy! Here's today's pictures All of the caves were WAY too dark to film, so here's video of us floating through one of the flumes. Enjoy!
