Hanakapi'ai Beach

We hit the ground running on our first day and headed out for a 4 mile hike on the Kalalau Trail. This was our halfway point... I'd say it was worth it! Get up and start on the trail at 8:30am when it opens. It was packed by the time we finished at 11! @lens4change

Hanakapiai Beach Nice fresh water pond and stream next to ocean with cool rocks. Cave at end of beach. Turn off to Hanakapiai Falls is clearly marked: extra 4m round trip.
#hiking this trail is very fun for a quick day hike to the beach (2 miles in) and falls (another 2 miles from beach). Take plenty of water pack a lunch and prepare for a difficult hike if not in good shape. The humidity + heat is tough. This is the beach to rest and recharge.
The famed Na Pali Coast hike is 11 miles and requires an overnight camping permit or you can get boated off island. If you're not up for the whole trek though I highly recommend just taking on the first 2 miles (4 mi round trip). It feels like an uphill battle there and back, but the views are worth it. Arrive before 8am as parking gets scarce.

8.8/10 Excellent! (940 reviews)
Very nice staff. They are remodeling rooms so I look forward to seeing the room upgrades. The room was nice, but dated. Overall the resort is spread out, ideal location and quiet.
