There are actually two lookouts, one is by Foodland where you get a view up Hanalei valley and of the Taro fields and amazing mountains behind Hanalei. The the second lookout on the right side of the highway as you are heading north to Hanalei gives a super panoramic view of Hanalei bay and PUFF! My personal advise: do the... More

A quick stop along Kuhio Highway, with parking available that treats you to an amazing view of Kauai's North Shore taro fields -- sounds like a no-brainer, right? In five minutes or less, you can snap a few photos and marvel in nature's countless shades of green. Obviously, if the area is socked with rain or fog, which does happen,... More

This little stop could be easy to drive by, especially if traveling toward Hanalei from Princeville (it is on the other side of the road - so drive slow enough not to pass right by it). This view is like so many in Kauai - stunning/beautiful/awesome - but it is just one of many - we stopped briefly but didn't... More

It's sooo easy to pull over and gander at the incredible view. And there is lots of information posted so you can truly appreciate what your looking at.

Hanalei Valley Lookout is one stop you don’t want to pass by, unless it’s raining and the valley & mountains obscured in clouds.

Beautiful view of the valley and cost. Captures the essence of the North shore. There's also another great turn out a little further on going north. It's on a sharp curve just as you drop into the valley. Go slow or you'll miss it.

This is a must stop, on your drive to the north end of Kauai. It is always post card perfect, whether on a sunny day, or an overcast day. It is a very nice view, lots of greenery, look at other reviewers photos, you can always take a great photo here!!!!

We stopped by on our first day in Kauai and it was pretty clouded over; although it was still beautiful! We stopped by again our second day (our resort was just a few minutes away) and it was much clearer than the day before. We were able to see the taro fields and the cloud-topped mountains in the distance. We... More

Breathtaking view as you begin your journey to the north shore. Best time to photograph is early morning.
