About Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park

When talking about Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park the whole coastline is magnificent right from Niihau Island which you can see from a distance, watch the green sea turtles, several Hawaiian spitter dolphins, and several humpback whales when you are at the coastline. Trust me you need an entire day for this as there's so much to do here the waterfalls that you will find in the mid of valleys the green lush landscapes around you just look like the backdrop of nature. The tall cliffs here are really humungous how you decide to plan your here is entirely up to you but here nature gives you a lot of opportunity in the midst whether you can spend time either trekking, on the beaches plan a picnic with a family, take a tour around the valley and make it a wild trip where you can spend the day between observing the marine life and relax looking at the spectacular view which is not less than heaven when you are in the middle of the valley. 

Apart from this, there's plenty of activities that you can do like Boat Tours, Camping for which you require a permit, Hiking, Hunting which I don't really give a go-to, Wildlife Viewing or you can even in case you want to make it a little more adventurous or maybe not in a mood for hiking, then there are local companies where you can take a helicopter or a boat tour at your leisure and enjoy this where nature is at its best.

Tips

  • Here the path is steep requires a lot of rock climbing, but worth it, So please make sure you are well prepared and wear comfortable clothes and shoes
  • As there's a lot of hiking and walking carry enough water, something to eat/snacks
  • Carry shades, hats, caps depending on which climatic conditions you are traveling 
  • Do not forget to put in some sunscreen as well 
  • Start your trip as early as possible to beat the sun and also so that you can make the most of it 
  • Please do not bring any valuables along with you in your car (especially if you are camping)
  • Bring an extra pair of socks, underwear/swimsuit, plenty of water (think extra is better), water shoes
  • Pack a lunch and think sustainable energy throughout the hike
  • Know when the sunsets! So many people get stranded on the trail after sunset. Not an easy trail to hike in the dark
  • Plan your trip and trail accordingly
  • There are bathrooms, drinking fountains, and a shower right across from the trailhead, which is great to clean up after a long muddy hike. Also if you're tired you can always relax at Kee beach which is great for snorkelling and swimming.
