We want to hike the Kalalau trail, where do we start!?Let's start with permits! Because if you don' t have those, you can't go! Permits need to be reserved ahead of time, up to 90 days in advance (they do sell out quickly). Overnight camping permits are available online here- https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/hiking/kauai/kalalau-trail/ Overnight parking passes at the trail head are available here-https://gohaena.com/ For gear we suggest our Kalalau Camp Set. It's got all your basic hiking/camping necessities! A wonderful website to check out is https://www.hikingkalalau.com/ There you can find a wealth of knowledge, tips, photos, maps, and even weather. Hiking the NaPali coast trail and camping at Kalalau beach is one of the most challenging and rewarding adventures Hawai'i has to offer. It is an 11 mile one way trip to Kalalau beach with Hanakoa camp at about the 6 mile mark, a little more than half way. Camping here takes some planning. Making sure you have the right gear is also a must! The NaPali coast is state run and is a wild and rugged place! Weather conditions can change quickly and weather reports for Kauai in general are unreliable at best! Use caution when crossing streams, especially if it has been raining, as flash flooding can happen quickly. Ocean conditions in the summer are usually flat, glassy and magical. Winter time sees pretty consistent large swells, making swimming dangerous but there are plenty of fresh water spots to jump in and there will be less crowds! BUT either season has its odd days. Plan ahead, pay attention, use common sense and you will have the adventure of a lifetime!
