Hawaiian Monk Seal Kauai

This monk seal pup was born on 17 April 2010. Here it is on Miloli’i Beach with it’s mother, along the Napali Coast in Kauai

Resting on the beach

We had a huge sea turtle swim right up to the boat and surprise us. (COOL!)

Not a lot of dolphin action today. We did spot a small pod between Hanakapi’ai and Kalalau Valley. Very unusual location to see them. They were very skittish. We were able to see them leap out and spin a few times. Most likely a birthing going on.

Waves were beginning to build and create a mysterious spooky mist along the shoreline extending 100’s of feet into the air and valleys.

Several monk seals were spotted on Nualolo Kai.
