We loved how calm the waters were for our young children, great for a snorkeling by the barrier. If you walk west, there's a natural rock ledge creating a perfect toddler pool for littles. We even saw a seal swim up to close to people later in the afternoon,

This beach park is located adjacent to an actual salt pond that is operational for locals. There are a few benches & shaded structures you may have a barbecue or picnic.

The colours here are just insane with all the different shades of red, orange, green and brown throughout the canyon. It almost doesn't look real. I also love that you don't have to be a hiker to experience it. There are so many different lookouts and trails around the area, so you can make it as easy or as hard as you want. It's also so wild and untouched looking, with the waterfalls, mountains, greenery and all the different layers of the canyon; very similar to the overall vibes of the island of Kauai.

It's very long which makes it a great beach to walk. They have pavilions with picnic tables providing shade to escape the sun for a bit. The best part of this beach is how big the waves are. I sat and watched them the entire time we were here. The downside of Kauai is that it's not very warm. This means I didn't want to swim at the beaches. It was about 70 when we were here. It was warm enough to enjoy the beach, but a little too chilly to get in the water with the wind. This was my favorite beach that we visited in Kauai.

My husband and I just did this tour today (10/25/25) with three other individuals and the pilot…read more The cost was $630 per person, which we learned helps fund medivac services for the residents of Ni'ihau. We were allowed to bring bags, snorkel gear, and a cooler. After checking in, weighing in, and a brief safety talk at the Kaumakani office, we drove to the Port Allen airstrip by Salt Pond and got on the helicopter - a seven seater + the pilot. There were five passengers, so everyone got an assigned window seat. We then flew for about 35-40 minutes to and over Ni'ihau where we saw breathtaking cliffs, miles of empty beaches, wild horses, cattle, pheasants, pigs and goats as well as a brief glimpse of the village of Pu'uwai. (Note: the tour did not include any flight time over Kaua'i, although we skirted along the west end shoreline on the way back). We landed at a remote beach facing Lehua where there is a pavilion and a shed for changing. Time on the island was about 3.5 hours, which went by extremely quickly. There were tons of seashells and coral fragments that we were invited to take home, and the water was warm and crystal clear. Surprisingly, the beach was very littered, especially with commercial fishing debris and plastic (but still extremely beautiful). It was sad to see even the places that people rarely visit are still ruined by humans. We are residents of Kaua'i, so I think that this tour probably meant quite a bit more to us than it does for visitors to the island because we fully understand what a unique opportunity we just experienced/how special Ni'ihau is. Having said that, the other three people in our group seemed to enjoy it as well. We tipped the pilot because he was awesome, but IDK if that's normal because no one else did. For us being residents, it was worth the money. I'm not sure if I would feel the same as a tourist because of the (well justified) cost. No photos attached, as we were allowed to take them but were asked not to share them online.

I can imagine the entire place being flooded with tourists earlier in the day but we actually went hiking first and explored the canyon first at the top of the hill and explored the Red Dirt Waterfall on the way back down and were literally the only people there. Moreover, there was so much more parking where we just walked across the street to the waterfall. The fall isn't even the best part of this location. To expanse of red dirt and going all the way up seeing where the water comes from is very fun. Be careful however because it can be slippery. Overall, this is a must visit and it isn't out of the way at all as its on the way driving to the west side of the island.

First, you need a 4x4 vehicle like a Jeep or Pick-Up Truck and have to drive along a rough 5-mile road with lots of bumps and ruts along the way. But totally worth the time and effort! Make sure you have all the supplies you need and have a full tank of gas prior to coming. As for the beach itself, there are lots of great and spectacular views of the scenery! The Napali Coast, Pacific Ocean, Polihale Beach State Park itself, and so much more. I did a beach stroll from end to end and took me about 2 hours overall. Just seeing this in videos and photos does not do it enough justice; you have to be there in-person to experience the serenity of nature.

Our day walking adventure trip on Kauai is about to come to an end. Kalena Park, I like this park! We utilized one of the picnic benches to listen to our music, hydrate and catching up on social media, cell phone break! I noticed the park is very clean, ( except for the restrooms) loved the huge planters & trees! There's a basketball court and small playground area, about 7 bright picnic tables, parking is along the side and back of the park . I am surprised to see no homeless camping out but more chickens here! We were the only ones at the park until later a family arrived and eating their take out lunch. My other half went to use the restroom before he left, which looked clean from the outside but it was really dirty and messy inside. Kalena Park was part of a renovation project back in 2019 and Līhu'e Loop is an ongoing project to promote physical activity in Līhu'e's town core on the island of Kaua'i. Over the coming years the Līhu'e Loop Community Action Group, coordinated by Get Fit Kauai, endeavors to use information technology to generate and sustain interest in exploring the walking tours that start & end at the centrally located Kalena Park. At each point of interest on the Self Guided Audio Walking Tour, you can listen to a different story. Learn about Līhu'e's unique heritage, living culture, and aspirations for a vibrant future as you go! The Lihue Loop is a fun activity to do for kids, adults & families ! What a fantastic idea!
