Kalalau Trail

USA> Hawaii> Kauai>

Overview

hike5.0exp

This spectacular hike follows the Kalalau Trail along the famous Napali Coast from Ke'e Beach to Hanakoa Valley and back. Along the way are gorgeous views of towering cliffs plunging into a bright blue ocean, a rich variety of lush tropical vegetation, a river crossing and lots of steep ascents and descents. The heat, humidity and constant up and down climbing can really tire you out so bring plenty of food and water and be sure to turn around before you get too exhausted.
