Great cocktails. We think there are better and cheaper food options but the view from here is everything and worth a night out. Go early to enjoy sunset. Reservations recommended.

A stunning coastal route that offers a mesmerizing hiking experience on the Napali Coast. Venture two miles in to reach the beach, where you can either turn back or extend your journey by an additional 1.5 miles inland to marvel at the Hanakapiai Waterfall, perfect for a refreshing swim. The trail features varying terrain with moderate inclines, caution is advised, especially during wet conditions. Hiking beyond the beach is not recommended for young children as there are river crossings and increasing difficult and exposed sections. Avoid hiking in rainy weather as the trail becomes slick and river crossings pose dangers. For the adventurous souls, consider backpacking the full seven miles into the valley for a camping experience. Note that a pass from Haena State Parks and scheduling a shuttle from Hanalei are mandatory. Plan ahead as car permits are limited and shuttle spots are restricted.

Explore the Napali Coast by zodiac, a must-see on the island. Witness its breathtaking beauty from the sea, an unforgettable experience. Various tour options are available, from zodiacs to sailboats with snorkeling, and even sunset cruises. Our favorite is Captain Andy's for an exceptional adventure.

Anini Beach is the perfect spot for sunbathing and snorkeling, especially for families with kids. It's usually less crowded than Poipu or Hanalei and teems with ocean life. You’ll love Anini Beach Park for its calm turquoise water, shade trees, picnic tables, pavilions, restrooms, showers, and attentive lifeguards, making it an excellent choice for a family day out.
