Na Pali Coast

napalicoast

The Na Pali Coast is an approximately 16-mile stretch of Kauai’s north-west coastline known for its breathtaking scenes of mountains and cliffs rising dramatically from the ocean. It’s regarded by many as Kauai’s most scenic attraction on an island full of scenic attractions. It’s also one of the most beautiful spots in the world. The Na Pali Coast stretches from Ke’e Beach on one side of the island to Polihale Beach on the other. The coastline features rugged mountains and valleys formed by millions of years of erosion from both the ocean and rainwater. The coast can best be seen by a boat excursion from Port Allen or Hanalei Bay, and from air on helicopter and airplane tours. The coast can be experienced up close and personal via a hike on the Kalalau Trail and the Hanakapiai Trail (the first two miles of the Kalalau Trail). The Kalalau Lookout, accessible by car, provides a view of the Kalalau Valley and a portion of the Na Pali Coast. Kayak and small boat trips are also available. One way or the other, don’t miss seeing this incredible slice of earth on your trip to Kauai.
