News Flash! New Tour! You are going to love
it!
Join us for an exciting tour you will long remember. Mt. Waialeale,
at the center of Kauai, is the wettest place on earth. At the
base of Mt. Waialeale, where the waterfalls converge, is the
area known as the Blue Hole. Just down stream from the Blue
Hole is our destination.
This half day adventure combines four wheel drive access and
hiking to give you an unparalleled experience. From convenient
departure locations, our expert guides will lead you to the
heart of Kauai. Heading inland from Wailua on Kuamoo Road (580)
past Opaekaa Falls and the Wailua Reservoir to the Keahua Arboretum.
From the Arboretum, fasten your seat belts because we are going
on a bumpy ride, further into the heart of Kauai. The trail
crosses streams and winds through the dense forest to the, "Gate",
used in Jurassic Park. We will park at the gate and have an
easy half hour stroll past wild flowers and gorgeous vistas
to the, "Blue Hole", where water is diverted into
the irrigation system of Lihue Plantation.
This is a great opportunity to learn about the history and culture
of Hawaii from experienced guides in a breathtaking natural
environment. The weather can be unpredictable and heavy rain
will be cause for cancellation. A little rain is no problem
as umbrellas, ponchos and walking sticks are provided, as well
as back packs, snacks and beverages. (no rain, no rainbows)
There is a total of about 3 miles of walking involved in this
tour. The trail is not difficult but between the bumpy roads
and the walking, this tour is not recommended for people with
neck or back problems, people prone to motion sickness or people
who are not at least moderately fit.
This tour is operated in the Wailua Forest Management Area,
under a permit issued by the Na Ala Hele Trail Access Program
of the Department of Land and Natural Resources. A portion of
the price of the tour is paid to Na Ala Hele for the maintenance
and improvement of trails on Kauai.
*Advance, paid reservations are required.
*Reservations are non refundable except in the case of weather
cancellation.
Group sizes are a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 12.
Prices including tax and trail access fees are:
Adults: $65.00 Children 5 to 12: $50.00
Tours depart from convenient meeting locations, Monday through
Friday (except State and Federal Holidays)
Cooling off in a natural
jacuzzi of bubbling waters below
romantic Hanakapiai Falls is an invigorating experience. To
reach this natural spa, drive out to the end of the road on
the
North Shore at Ke'e Beach. Park and lock your car and walk to
the clearly marked trailhead. The hike in from Ke'e Beach to
Hanakapiai Valley is about two miles along the Kalalau Trail.
This takes about 90 minutes of hardy hiking spiced with several
great Na Pali vistas to reach Hanakapiai Beach.
Next the trail turns inland to the Hanakapiai falls. It follows
a
narrow stream for approximately two miles. This portion of the
trail is a strenuous hike and not for the novice or casual hiker.
The trail meanders back and forth across the stream beginning
about three-quarters of a mile in. Never attempt the trail in
the
rain as the stream is prone to flash floods. You won't get lost
as
the trail follows the stream. Stop and check out the ruins of
old
taro terraces made by the ancient Hawaiians. Remnants of a
coffee plantation with a rusting coffee mill date from the 1890's.
The last half mile is a workout, but more than worth it. The
Na
Pali magic clicks in and the vegetation becomes very lush with
pools and small waterfalls luring you along to Hanakapiai Falls.
Your reward awaits at the small pool below the three-tiered,
300-foot cascading waterfall. Take off your hiking shoes, relax
and luxuriate in a setting that man cannot duplicate. After
a brief
dip in the pool below the falls, move on to a nearby pool for
a
longer soak. Rocks occasionally tumble down the falls, so it's
best
not to press your luck. Kauai Nature Tours provides informative
guided tours to Hanakapiai Beach and on to the waterfall at
the
head of Hanakapiai Valley. |

About 10 percent of Kauai is accessible
by road. That's great news if you enjoy hiking, because it means
there's a lot of island out there waiting to be explored on
foot. Of course, before you set out you'll need to know where
you're going.
Three of Kauai's best trails:
The Kukui Trail
This 5-mile (round trip) trail drops 2,000 feet into spectacular
Waimea Canyon, and offers the shortest route to the canyon
floor. There's a large swimming hole at the bottom. The trail
begins off the Iliau Loop Trail.
The Kuilau Ridge Trail
This 4.2-mile (round trip) hike offers dramatic views of small
waterfalls and a wealth of flora. The trailhead is about a
mile beyond the University of Hawaii Agricultural Experimental
Station on Route 580.
The Kalalau Trail
This is the original Hawaiian trail into Kalalau Valley, and
offers dramatic views of Na Pali Coast and Kee Beach. It begins
at Kee Beach where Highway 56 ends. Two miles inland is Hanakapiai
Falls, which cascades 300 feet to a pool below. The trail
travels on to Kalalau Valley, and many hikers camp overnight
at Hanakapiai and before continuing on the next day. The entire
trip is best made by experienced hikers.
