Just a few minutes away from Hanalei Bay is a majestic swatch of nature waiting to be explored. Nā Pali Coast State Park stretches out over 6,175 acres, and is home to some of the most beautiful sights in the world. Don’t miss Kalalau Trail, an 11-mile hike that includes picturesque waterfalls and dizzying views. And yes, scenes from Jurassic Park were filmed here. But don’t worry, the dinosaurs died out a long time ago. Right?

Grab a paddle and a life jacket and kayak down the Wailua river. Snake your way through tropical forests and underneath waterfalls. If you’re lucky, your guide might even treat you to an impromptu ukelele concert.

Diana, I am of Hawaiian heritage and although I like in MN, My family and I travel to Hawaii on an annual basis. My mom grew up in Kapaa, KA, HI and Hanalei was a constant destination whenever we traveled there. I am making up a collage of my favorite places and although I have hundreds of pictures, they don’t do these locations justice. You have captured the true essence of Hanalei Bay and I was hoping I could purchase a .jpeg of #hanaleipier as shown above. Are your photos for sale?
