Private South Shore Coastal Hike to Sea Cliffs

Hike the amazing sea cliffs and look out over the waves!

Feel the Power of the Ocean on this Kauai Trail. Smell the salt air as crashing waves explode below you. The compacting of air within the cliffs creates a special surprise. This Kauai hike will take us to a promontory, where you’ll see impressive views of Hāʻupu Mountain, Kawelikoa Point, and deep into the Kauai Channel in the direction of Oʻahu (which you can see at 108 miles away on extremely clear days).

QUICK DETAILS

Maha’ulepu (MA·HA ule·PU) is an area rich in natural and cultural history. Learn about the epic land and sea battle that was fought and won here by the people of Kauai in the 1300s, giving it the name Maha’ulepu which literally means “and falling together.”

Maha’ulepu is one of the last remaining stretches of undeveloped coastline on the South Shore. This area is still fiercely protected by locals, who recognize its unique historical significance and aesthetic value and fear more resort development.

On Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun, or by special request:  Your tour will include a guided tour of the nearby Makauwahi Cave Reserve to see Hawaii’s largest limestone cave and richest fossil site! You will also have an opportunity to visit with giant land tortoises that are doing their part to help restore native plants.

Know you’ll be doing your part! 10% of every Kauai tour will be donated to Makauwahi Cave Reserve and or Mālama Maha’ulepu.

SNORKELING ADVENTURE ADD-ON:

Linger in this serene setting for another hour, while some or all of your group go snorkeling. This option will add about two hours to the tour time due to time in the water, driving time, and fitting snorkel gear in the morning.
