Mike & Anne HoneyTrek.comJuly 11, 2013Eat the guavas all along the hike. No need wash. Then skip the waterfall and hike through to Space Rock, killer views!!!

DoubleDeuceJanuary 28, 2019So gorgeous. A must-view area and much better if you take a boat from Hanalei because you get more time with the beautiful views.

I made that mistake and it was really dangerous bc the mountain is very crumbly. I don't care how good you think you are at hiking hahaUpvoteDownvote
- Lauren FraserJune 11, 2013If you're a good hiker, it's definitely possible to do the entire thing in one day! My mistake was not bringing enough food or water. You can bring a pump though bc there are some streams.UpvoteDownvote
KristenApril 6, 2013North shore beach at the end of the road. Choppy waters for pro surfers, not ideal for swimming but beautiful scenery. Leads to hiking trials.UpvoteDownvote
