Like other previous guests, this was a big splurge, a once-in-a-lifetime trip for our family. We're a three-generation group of eight (ages 8 to 69) and Kaulana Naue was exactly as described and more. The wonderful hosts, Leila and Mike, were readily available and accommodating. They even lent us wetsuits in multiple sizes for our grandkids when I mentioned that the kids got a bit chilled when snorkeling at Tunnels.
The home was perfect for us with every bedroom having their own bathroom. The kitchen was big enough for multiple cooks and had all the equipment we needed. The well-maintained spa was used multiple times a day. We even had a fun ping-pong tournament one day when taking a break from beach activities!
Twenty years ago we stayed directly on Tunnels and were hoping to do the same for this trip. BUT... this location was actually better because we had small waves for boogie boarding AND amazing tide pools right out front where we saw crabs, an eel, a live conch, sea cucumbers, AND a baby octopus! Watching the net fishermen in the morning was so interesting and when the wind kicked up in the afternoons, we were amazed by the various kite surfers. It was paradise with rainbows, sunrises and sunsets and we made family memories that will last forever.
As my 8-year-old grandson said, “It was awesome and I want to go back!”
