About Nā Pali Coast State Park

Nā Pali Coast State Park
 

Nā Pali Coast State Park is located on the northwestern shore of Kauai in Hawaii. It covers a wild and remote area known for its towering sea cliffs that rise up to 4,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, sprawling valleys, sharp ridges, and verdant foliage. This park is a showcase of natural beauty with its rare plants and flowing streams. Historically, it was home to native Hawaiian communities, and remnants of their settlements still exist today. Key recreational opportunities include hiking the renowned Kalalau Trail, snorkeling, and taking boat or helicopter tours to explore the coast's inaccessible regions. The park's highlight is Kalalau Valley, a lush and virtually untouched expanse that captivates with its serenity and isolation. Adventure seekers flock to this park for its unspoiled beaches, rich cultural history, and the chance to witness breathtaking sunsets.
