We just got back from hiking the Kalalau trail, all 22 miles of it (11 miles there and back). It is definitely a strenuous hike, but doable if you’re in shape. We did the hike in 2 stages. We camped at mile 6 on the way in and out, and then finished the hike the following day. The vistas were... More

We only did the 4 mile hike.It took us about 3 hours and 15 minutes. It was no walk in the park, but well worth it. The views were breathtaking!!! The one thing I would do differently is get there earlier. It was very hot and a good part of the return trip was in the sun. Going earlier in... More

We got camping permits in advance and hiked all the way to the end of the trail. Needless to say, the scenery was stunning and memorable. My wife and I are both experienced backpackers and in reasonably good shape, and I can honestly say that this is probably the most difficult and most dangerous trail I have hiked. The first... More

We hiked to the beach with our 9 year old daughter. We are NOT an athletic family. This hike is "REAL" as opposed to some hikes we've been on where it's really a trail, with some inclines. There are cliffs, slippery conditions, and it's hard on your legs if your not used to rock climbing. ;) That said, the views... More

Moderate to strenuous hike to Hanakapiai beach (2 mi.) and Falls (2 mi. further) for 8 mi. round trip. Often muddy and slippery but well worth the effort.

My dad and I did the 2 mile hike to hanakapiai beach (4 miles total there and back) and as someone who has traveled a lot and appreciates natural beauty, this was by far one of the most incredible things I've seen. Sometimes, my dad and I didn't know where to look - look back and see lush mountains and... More

By far the most challenging hike I've ever been on. I brought my old athletic shoes. Glad I did. The trail wasn't even that muddy and the shoes we covered with red dirt. You hike over slippery rocks and slippery trails. The return trip things were a bit drier so not so dangerous. I kind of worried about the people... More

We hiked the first 2 miles of this trail to the Hanakapiai Stream & Beach. Medium difficulty hike but fabulous views of the Na Pali coastline around every corner. We crossed the stream and had lunch on the rocks at the beach before hiking back. It took about 3.5 hours total and was well worth it. Bring a camera, water,... More

Incredible views of the Na' Pali coast. We only went in 1.5 miles but it was far enough to get some great photos. Next time, I'd like to go 2 miles and then head inland to the waterfall another 2 miles.
