A very nice hike along the coast and to the falls! The views are absolutely stunning. One of the best short hikes in the world!

We didn't spend too much time on the beach because we spent the afternoon hiking. If you have the strength and the time I would recommend hiking 2 miles to the beach (can't swim there because the waves are massive and there are signs that tell you you shouldn't surf or swim) and then do the additional 2 mile hike...

So my husband was unsure about this trail given our kids were 9 and 11. after researching this, and talking to our hotel, we hiked the first part (to the beach) which is 4 miles round trip. The scenary was awesome. I recommend you bring an extra pair of socks as you will walk over small streams, and wear your... More

This was a highlight of our trip to Hawaii! While it was a difficult hike, we loved it!! We got a late start (10 AM) and barely found a parking spot in lot down the street. Bring at least 2 bottles of water p/person - we froze some bottles - kept sandwiches cool and cold water on return trip was... More

This is one of the most amazing hikes I have ever been. Between the waves crashing on broken cliffs, and birds chirping in the lush rainforest, it is spectacular. One word of advice, this is not a easy hike. There are multiple places where rocks create slick and unsafe surfaces.

Experience EDEN! once inhabited by 25,000 Hawaiian, they built the trail long ago. It is an adventure and wonderful, my friend ran it in 3 hours barefoot. I have hiked it many times, be careful after a big rain, it can be dangerous. Look for whales in season, eat guavas along the way. I cant say enough about this trail... More

I've done a lot of hiking over Utah, Colorado, Minnesota and California. We didn't bring gear for the whole trail but did the hike to the beach and then the waterfall (After the beach on the Kalalau you need a permit). It was one of the most interesting trails I've been on. You were always watching your step as rocks,... More

I'd read many positive reviews of this trail for it's challenge and beauty and since I was planning to kayak the Na Pali Coast, I wanted to get two perspectives during my visit. I was not at all disappointed in the hike for it's challenge, beauty, and uniqueness. I'm an avid hiker, pretty fit, and in my mid-50's. I've hiked... More

Although both my wife and I are in reasonably good physical condition and hike a lot this was a demanding trek. We only did a one day in and out to HANAKAPI'AI beach and up to the waterfall. The views are indescribably breathtaking every step of the way. Be ready for very, very slick muddy areas and lots of steep... More
