Hikers who are up for a challenge and would like to experience what has been hailed the best coastal hiking trail in the world (by National Geographic) can test their fitness and sense of adventure on the Kalalau Trail in the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park on Kauai.

The trail consists of a 22-mile loop through one of the most scenic parts of Hawaii, sandwiched between the towering pali (cliffs) and the majestic Pacific Ocean. On Day 1 of your hike you will make your way through 11 miles of forests, valleys, and gorges on your way to the beautiful crescent-shaped Kalalau Beach, where you will camp overlooking the azure waters of the Pacific, in one of the most remote corners of Hawaii.
