Looking back up the coast to the inviting remote beach.

Every shadow is a mini canyon waiting to be explored.

Now entering sacred territory: Wai'ale'ale Crater just beneath the wettest spot on Earth,
almost always covered by clouds.

The walls of the crater bleed countless waterfalls. Helicopter seems to be the only way to appreciate
this beauty as these falls and pools are almost completely inaccessible.
