I would consider it an advanced hike because of the terrain. (For reference, I work out 3-5 times a week and am pretty active). Its not for the faint-hearted, but its definitely a do-able hike for anyone who is relatively fit. I have flown over, boated around, and now hiked the Na Pali coast and this was one of the best and most memorable ways to see that side of the island. It has some of the most amazing coastline I have ever seen and pictures really just don’t do it justice.
Residents had gotten used to a nearly tourism-free existence since an April storm in 2018 produced massive flooding that shuttered popular attractions, including the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park, Ha‘ena State Park, Kee Beach, Kalalau Trail, Haena Beach Park and Limahuli Garden & Preserve.īut even with all the hoops you have to jump through, it’s one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever done and well worth the trek. The Kalalau Trail recently re-opened after 14 months due to torrential rains and flooding. Slippery mud and straight drop offs mean you must be careful and bring the right shoes - hikin.If you are looking for isolation, lush rain forests, and spectacular views away from the typical tourist traps, the NaPali coast is the place to get lost and soak it all in. We hiked to the beach and then up to the falls. While the trail is pretty long, the initial 2 mile hike is not too strenous and features several really wonderful views. This is a very beautiful hike, perfect for anyone in decent shape. It was long but the area is so pretty and you. There were all ages of people doing this hike. This 2 hour hike to the beach was wonderful. Hiking at the end of Ke'e Beach: Rating a 10!!.

This trek is one of the best in the world.I was recovering from major surgery.and was not in tip top shape.but was still able to complete the full hike with no problems.It was well wo. We were on the trail for a bit more than five hours. It is 8 miles round trip, bouldering in places, which can be very taxing. Went back for the whole enchilada - user reviewĪfter hiking in 1/2 way to the Kalalau Valley last year I came back prepared to go the whole way in and spend a couple of days exploring the Valley. I was never a fan of hiking prior to my first visit to Kauai. My wife and I have been to Kauai four times and each time we wind up spending more time hiking than we spend on the beach. Hiking the Kalalau from beginning to end 11.5 miles later is a treat that every able bodied man or woman should experience at least once in his/her lifetime. Yes, it is rocky in places, and very muddy but it is relatively safe. The trail for us was fairly decent compared to the Nu'alolo Trail which was fairly difficult. The first part of this trail is straight up and a challange for those not fit,as it seem more lik. We three(ages 57,29, and 8) wanted to just go far enough to take pictures of Ke'e beach.
