Hiking in Kauai
The landscapes of Kauai is so beautiful, it can be compared to gold in a treasure chest. You just need to explore it. And there is no better way than hiking and camping on Napali coast. The whole Kauai is worth watching, but it seems like Napali coast on the north shore is picture perfect. There is a eleven mile trail called Kalalau, that is the most challenging. While you are out there, it probably makes sense to take on the biggest challenge.
From Napali coast you can see the mind blowing views of Pacific ocean. All those tall cliffs reaching for the blue sky are covered with bring green grass looks like a velvet carpet. The clean water from the falls are falling in to the narrow and deep valley non stop. The only access is through the trail which will pass through five valleys and end up in the beach. It is no doubt a challenging walk, sometimes get dangerous. The rainfall can make the top part of the soil muddy an d make passing through the narrow spaces really difficult.
If you are not into hiking, take a boat or kayak to enjoy the beauty. Or maybe take a helicopter ride to the places where you cannot go on foot or with a boat.
