Swimming With Dolphins
As if they knew it was my last day, the Dolphins stayed and played in the Honaunau-Napoopoo bay the entire day. I had many close encounters and sometimes the camera was ready too.
Last Days In Paradise
Three days of snorkling before heading back home. Plenty of encounters with dolphins, turtles and fish of all kinds. Life is rich.
