Overview :
Overview: Step out of your beach sandals and into your hiking boots, because the Hawaii known to many as the idyllic land of palm trees... more », grass skirts and mai tais has a flip-side ... a dramatic and stunning natural wilderness which just begs to be explored.
These three day-hikes explore some of the Kauai's best scenery on trails known around the world for their beauty. One day you'll be navigating a winding coastal trail to a picture-perfect waterfall and the next you'll be bounding across boardwalks above mountainous swampland in terrain that looks like it's straight out of Jurassic Park.
Tips:
• Valley hikes on Hawaii are prone to flash flooding (Hanakapi'ai Valley) so be aware of the weather forecast and do not attempt such hikes under threat of rain.
• Many Hawaii trails get a little muddy and slippery, so good footwear is highly recommended.
