Relaxed and carefree: Bikini clad Kim Kardashian lets her hair down in never before seen family holiday photographs

It is not often that the real Kim Kardashian can be seen with her guard down acting naturally without TV cameras.
But the reality television star has shared some never before seen photographs of her and the rest of the clan on holiday.
The Kardashians went on a family vacation to the sunny Dominican Republic and although the excursion was filmed, their private time away from the cameras was not.

Private collection: Kim Kardashian posted these never before seen photographs online of her family holiday to Dominican Republic

The episode aired a few weeks ago on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but some pictures were kept exclusively for the family album.
Kim, 31, looked as good as ever in a turquoise two-piece bikini that showed off her impressive cleavage but, she kept the rest of her body covered in a colourful kaftan.
The model looked carefree as she relaxed on a boat with her long brunette locks falling over her shoulders with her eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses.

In another picture she can be seen posing with her younger sister Khloe who was sporting some braided hair and stayed completely hidden also in a kaftan.
Kim tweeted: 'The whole family went to The Dominican Republic... you would have seen our trip on the show a few episodes back.
'I was going through my camera and found a ton of pics from our vacation!!' she tweeted.
She added: 'We had the most amazing time! Probably my favorite family vacation yet. Even Kendall and Kylie's BFF's Maddie and Spencer came to join in on the fun!'

Kim added that more pictures would be posted soon and said: 'Lots more pics coming over the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!! Xo.'
