Description
This hike is a favorite! Kauai is popular for its natural beauty, and there's no better way to experience it than by hiking to a promontory with stunning views. We'll see Hāʻupu Mountain, Kawelikoa Point, and the Kaua'i Channel from this vantage point. The Kaua'i Channel is particularly striking, as it is very deep, and on clear days, you can even see Oahu 108 miles in the distance. Smelling the salt air and watching the waves crash below is an unforgettable experience.
Maha'ulepu is one of the most special places on Kaua'i. It's not only rich in natural history but cultural history as well. In the 1300s, there was an epic land and sea battle fought here. The people of Kaua'i were victorious, and the area was given the name Maha'ulepu, which literally means "falling together."
As one of the last remaining undeveloped coastline areas on the South Shore, this area is still fiercely protected by locals. On Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, or by special request, we can include a guided tour of a limestone cave and rich fossil site. After the hike, you can choose to snorkel at a beautiful South Shore location. A lovely way to cool off after your hike!
