カウアイ郡のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Breathtaking viewpoint. The route there was also worth seeing. Therefore, I can't agree with the previous speaker.

Agree with previous commenter. This is super inaccurately described as “suitable for all fitness levels”. You are scaling fallen trees, rocks, using all four limbs, and constantly looking for the trail, which is often only obvious because it’s the only passable way up the mountain. I still had a great time on this hike but it was one of the harder hikes I’ve done in while.

An absolutely fantastic view of the mountains

great feeling to have this backdrop there on the swing

Not a trail for beginners. Sturdy shoes are necessary. But they don't have to be alpine hiking boots. Trail running shoes are recommended - not waterproof ones, but ones that dry quickly and have a good, non-slip sole.

Hikers are sometimes surprised to see the trail ends at the top of 800-foot Waipo'o Falls, as opposed to approaching it head-on for the best views. It's still a breathtaking view, though. Take care if you try to get near the edge, as that's quite a drop. Coming early increases your odds of having clear skies, and (somewhat) avoiding the crowds on this popular trail.

This is a great viewpoint over Waimea Canyon. As always, try to plan your hike around the weather and come here during the morning, if possible, so you're more likely to have clear skies. It can be a real heartbreak to come all the way up here only to be socked in by rain and fog.

This viewpoint sits at the end of the Cliff Trail, but is easily accessed via a short detour from the Canyon Trail, too. Do yourself a favor and plan your hike around the weather forecast if you can, and come here during the morning to increase your chances of clear skies.
