The Napali Coast is a scenic coastal region located on the northwest shore of Kauai, the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands. It is known for its rugged and dramatic cliffs, emerald green valleys, and pristine beaches, making it one of the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes in the world.
The Napali Coast is accessible only by boat or by hiking the Kalalau Trail, a strenuous 11-mile trail that winds along the coast and offers breathtaking views of the cliffs and valleys. The trail is considered one of the most challenging and rewarding hikes in Hawaii and requires a permit to access.
