Adam Stallman

Without a doubt the most beautiful hiking trail in the world. The views of the Na Pali Coast along the trail are astounding. Make sure you don't miss Hanakapi'ai Falls . Don't miss this hike !

Christoffer Engström

The first 2 miles along the coast to the Hanakāpī‘ai Beach has some good scenic views and is a must if you never seen the Na Pali coast .

Mark Lombardi

Start your journey early. Most people stop at the Beach , but if your in good shape hike the extra two miles to the Waterfall . DO NOT do this trail without sneakers or hiking boots .

Cindy H

Apply bug repellent !! Bring sunblock & water. A walking stick saved me several times from slipping. If hiking to the falls , pay attention to the pink ribbons tied on random trees . Distance: 4.6mi

Mike Leotta

If you do only one hike on the island , make it this one, and go all the way to the waterfall .

Bérenger

Just incredible. These 11 miles are the best ones I've ever hiked . Cannot wait to come back and spend more time at the end of the world!

Ginette Lu

Dedicate some time doing this trail when you're in Kaua'i. The first 2 miles is fairly easy, but if you are feeling a tad courageous, make it to the waterfall at mile #4!

Kaitlin

Worth the trek! This is a pretty intense trail , but you're reward with intensely stunning views . Effort = payoff, for sure!

Kevin Catarella

One of the most beautiful sopts I have ever been to. Sueestion: get an early start and bring lots of water ! It can get hot!

Odile Roujol

Do it with Northshore charters ( departing from Anini beach ) : half a day of adventure in zodiac ( caves , snorkeling , and beautiful Nã Pali coast ).

Ardyss

Beautiful views and lots of mud after rain. If you're thinking it gets better, it doesn't. You will probably fall . But it's okay - go swimming at the beach near the trail head after.

Brian Toth

Go the distance.. Get to hanakapai'i falls - if u can. It's worth the trek. Bring water and some lunch , and eat at the base of the waterfall ....

Gulcin Sogut

Somebody dead today.... So peachfull and great place but you must be so carrefull on the way. If you dont feel good you dont do.... Best hiking place in Hawai but not easy

Make it a full day hike and take the Kalalau to Hanakapi'ai Valley trail for an amazing waterfall swim . Check out our link for full trail details. Be sure to bring hiking poles! Read more

This place is magical. When I went in Aug the trail was dry and it only rained a bit on the way out. I really lucked out. It’s long but doable in one shot if you’re in somewhat in shape and hike .

Wear sunscreen and bring lots of water for the sun that beaming down on you. Hiking shoes is a must since some parts of the trail get flooded from the stream/rain.

Sandra Riela

Beautiful views . Hiking is not for beginners. Pack a lot of water and sunscreen .

David Noël

Go there early (6-7am early) to have the trail to yourself during sunrise

Clara McD

I love the water fall at the end, but beware of the strong currents at the beach there.

Matt Knust

Make sure to go early (8am or before) otherwise it gets really hot when the sun comes out.

Leslie

You can do just the first half mile or so up to look out over the beach . Don't forget the insect repellent !

eric bornemann

Beautiful trail right on the ocean with great views . Can be hot.

Joel B

Nice views and hiking but come prepared for mud and rain!

Fotis

Bamboo forest when going up to the waterfall

Kayla V.

Bring plenty of water.

Yakumo Fuji

Precious trail around the Na'pali coast

Alejandro Echevarria Gil

The most amazing hike of my life!

Smith erino

The views are amazing.

On the sides of this spectacular stretch of green the etched mountains rise out of the sea, with waterfalls cascading into the valley floor. Read more

Amar Sider

Not for the physically unfit. Joint issue suffers, mainly knee and ankle, should not plan on proceeding.

Liz Kelley

Bring more water than you think you'll need... It's hot on that trail

John Armstrong

However much water your brought, bring more.

Debra Diament

Bring 4 or 5 bottled waters

Odile Roujol

Going or not going ?

clafc

Usually crowed

Nina C

Closed all week due to a manhunt for a suspected cliff-dwelling murderer. Not ideal.

Elena Kucherenko

Нелегкий трейл 18 км в одну сторону. Если сложно за один день, то примерно по середине есть место под палатку . Берите средство для обеззараживания воды , надевайте трекинговую обувь.

Elena Kucherenko

Шикарные виды !

Nice trail. Sadly the start is really muddy and slippery! It gets better afterwards. If your up on top you can see the bay. Partly ropes to hold on during the way up and down. - Ju Le
