Hulēʻia River

Christy

Exploring rivers with @David and @Porter might just be my favorite thing in the world. There’s something about these little missions that fills me up completely! I’m seriously never happier. This time, the river felt like a portal. For a moment, it was as if we’d slipped into the Amazon. The Hāʻupu Ridge loomed above us, and low-hanging mango trees, thick mangroves, and bright shampoo ginger crowded the banks. Monkey pod trees were in bloom and their sweeping canopies dusted with delicate white and pink tufts looked like something out of Avatar. Eywa trees in real life!
