Kuilau Ridge Trail
Kuilau Ridge Trail is a very nice hike. The first part is on an asphalt base path that has a gentle incline. The path continues to be wide and un-rutted but still muddy in spots. After about 30-40 minutes, the 1 mile mark, you will reach a small grassy picnic area overlooking a valley. You can see Mt. Wai’ale’ale and the Makaleha Mountains if it’s clear. Across the first valley you will see powerlines which follow the Kualapa Ridge. The Powerline Trail follow these power poles across the island. From the right side of the clearing looking east you will see the trail switchbacking below you where the Kuilau Ridge Trail ends and the Moalepe Trail begins. Continue down the path to the right
to see winding, rolling hills and a view to the Nounou Mountains and ocean. Once you reach the wooden bridge (Opaekaa Stream) you reach the end of the Kuilau Ridge Trail and the start of the Moalepe Trail.
To get to Kuilau Ridge Trail you continue to drive past Opaekaa Falls to the end of the road. Just before you get to the Keahua Forest Arboretum and the first stream crossing. The trail is on the right. Total round
trip distance is 4 1/2 miles and 760 feet elevation change.

Kauai - Kuilau Ridge Trail & Moalepe Trail
11. September 2018
Moalepe Trail hike
Hike on the Moalepe and Kuilau trails with Keko Adventure Tours (June 7, 2019; Nawiliwili, HI).
Kauai - The Moalepe Trail
The Moalepe Trail is a moderate hike in the Kapaa area of Kauai. This trail provides a gradual climb with views of the ocean, nearby ridges, and some amazing trees.
This is what it is like to hike the Awa'awapuhi Trail and it's definitely not for beginners!
This is what it is like to hike the Awa'awapuhi Trail and it's definitely not for beginners! This is my journey and thoughts about taking this hike. I don't do much editing as I want people to see what places and events are really like. I hope you enjoy the video and subscribe to my channel.
The Awaawapuhi Trail will take you on an ultimate journey as you ascend from 4,120 feet elevation in the Kokee State Park to the valley rim of Nualolo and Awa’awapuhi valleys at 2,500 feet. The trail will lead you through the rain forest, high desert-like terrain and to some of the most awe-inspiring vistas on Kauai’s Napali Coast. Awa’awapuhi Trail is a continual downhill hike from the trailhead to the grassy clearing overlooking the valleys.

Sleeping Giant Mountain Trail Nounou Mountain, Kauai Hawaii
Nounou (East) Trail
To access the east trailhead, turn up mauka onto Halelilio
Road off of Kuhio Highway (Hwy 56). The parking area for
the trailhead is paved and well marked. It is located on
the east side of Halelilo Road. The mountain is commonly
referred to as Sleeping Giant. The Nounou Trail-East is
a 1.75 mile hike This is a very clearly marked trail that
climbs 1,000 feet above sea level and treats hikers to
gorgeous views of the coastal areas of Kapa'a, Makahela
Mountain, and Mt. Wai'ale'ale. The east trail is the most
direct way to the top of Sleeping Giant. Trail-goers will
take part in a moderately strenuous ascent through
groves of guava trees and lantana. The trail can be muddy
and steep as you traverse the volcanic rocks. The east
trail meets up with the west 1.5 miles in. The Nounou
Trail climbs to a peak and sheltered picnic area on
sleeping giant's chest. For a real panoramic view from
Lihue to King Kong Profile Mountain (Kalalea Mt) go past
the picnic area all the way to the top which is past the
picnic area. The total elevation climb is about 1000 feet
from base to top of the head.
Nounou Mt. West Trail
Turn right onto Kamalu Road (Hwy 581), which
is about 1 mile from the Opaekaa Falls viewing
area up Kuamoo Road, look for telephone pole
#11. There you will find the yellow gate and
Nounou Trail sign. The mountain is commonly
referred to as Sleeping Giant. The trail starts
next to a residential area and at the end of the
homes the trail starts switchbacking through Nor
fork pines. The west trail goes up the mountain
between the rows of pines. The Nounou Trail
climbs to a peak and sheltered picnic area on
sleeping giant's chest. This vantage offers views
of the ocean, Wailua River and Mt. Waialeale.
The trail is steep, muddy, and wet at times. For
a real panoramic view from Lihue to King Kong
Profile Mountain (Kalalea Mt) go past the picnic
area all the way to the top which is past the
picnic area.
Kuamoo Trail - Nounou Trail (West and
East)
Kuamoo Trail begins ½ mile past Opaekaa Falls off
Kuamoo Road. Look for the brown sign and yellow
gate on the same side of the road as the falls. The
trail begins beside several homes and the trail is
tree canopy lined. After 100 yards you will cross the
river that feeds Opaekaa Falls by a nice wooden
bridge. The trail gently rises and falls through dense
forest, ferns, and moss. You hear the birds all
around or were they mosquitoes. Better pack lots of
spray! The trail is about 2 miles long but is a fairly
easy hike if not wet. Expect mud though. Kaumoo
Trail ends at the intersection of the Nounou West
Trail in a grove of Norfork pine trees planted in the
1930's.

Hiking the Awa'awapuhi Trail in Kauai 4K
#hawaii #hiking #kauai
The Awa'awapuhi trail on the island of Kauai (Hawaii) is a challenging 3 mile descent into the Napali coast -- a stretch of land only accessible by hike, helicopter or boat. This 6-mile round trip adventure has been on my bucket list for years and I am so happy to say I have finally conquered it! Keith and I had the best time on this trail!
A quick shoutout to the Shaka Guide app for an amazing self-guided tour around Kauai and also Oahu! I highly recommend downloading their app on your next trip to Hawaii! (Not sponsored, just really happy with their product.)

4 BEST DAY TRIPS IN KAUAI | Beaches, Waterfalls, Hiking, Snorkeling & More! [& WHERE TO STAY]

Best Things to do in Kauai
► Hike the Na Pali Coast! The Na Pali Coast is one of the most beautiful places on planet earth! Have you seen Jurassic Park? You remember the iconic helicopter scenes? Those are here at the Na Pali Coast! The best way to see the Na Pali coast from above is by hiking, and the two best hikes we found were the Awa-awapuhi and Honopu Ridge trails. The Kalepa Ridge trail is also supposed to be incredible, however the trail entrance was blocked by a ranger when we visited. On top of those hikes, the Kalalau and Pu-u O Kila Lookouts are also incredible and bring you literally sky high! We were above the clouds at Pu-u O Kila!
► Capt Andy's Raft Excursion! This is simply the best excursion on the island if you are interested in adventure. The guide takes you on an incredible journey of the Na Pali Coast including stops at caves, waterfalls, beaches, and ruins of a native settlement. The day is full of dolphins, sea turtles, snorkeling, laughter, and meeting new friends! And our guides were absolutely incredible, we truly feel that this was our best day in Kauai.
► Queen's Bath. First things first, only visit the Queen's Bath during a safe period. At high tide when waves are crashing on the rocks this can be a dangerous place. Check ahead of time when and whether you should be going. When you do reach the Queen's Bath, you'll have an incredible time. The bath is a beautiful tide pool that fills with colorful fish and even has a small cliff jump!
► Explore Wailua! The Wailua area has the most beautiful waterfalls on the island, and is home to the Kuilau Ridge, one of our absolute favorite hikes on the island. This trail takes you on a wildly beautiful ridgeline with the Hawaiian jungle surrounding you. Wailua Falls and Opaeka'a Falls were our favorite waterfalls on the island!
Where to Stay in Kauai
We recommend exploring a few different hotels during your time, so that you get a taste of each part of the island! Here were our 3 favorite hotels on the island, which each give you a unique experience:
► Grand Hyatt Kauai
► Waimea Plantation Cottages
► Kauai Beach Resort
If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you in the Comments or on our About Us page. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi, we are Julie & Zach, a couple who sold everything in 2018 and took off an adventure around the world! So far, this journey has taken us in a van ALL ACROSS the United States and Canada, from snorkeling with manatees in Florida to camping in the Grand Canyon to climbing glaciers in Canada, and everything in between! We were both working and going to school while living in Chicago in 2017 and 2018, and to be honest it really wore on us. We were exhausted, unfulfilled, and ready for an adventure. So, we made it happen! We saved up AS MUCH as we could over those 2 years - all homemade meals, no shopping, walk or bike everywhere, etc - and sold almost all of our belongings! With that money, we bought a renovated a van that we have been living in ever since! We started our YouTube channel a few weeks ago and have been loving creating videos! When we started, we were SO SO SO SO bad at it, and to be honest we still kinda suck, but we want to get better! What videos do you want to see? What do you want to know? Let us know and we will make it happen!
We believe that travel is truly a life-changing experience, it certainly changed ours! When you get out of your everyday world and experience new cultures, foods, places, people, sights, sounds, and take an adventure, you grow as a person and you become a better version of yourself! You are WAY stronger than you know, and stronger than you give yourself credit for. You have the ability to do anything, so make it happen! BE FOREVER FREE!

Sleeping Giant Hike via Nounou East Trail / Kapaa, Kauai
For more information, check out my blog post!
A short, but scenic hike in Kapaa, Kauai that travels along the Nounou East Trail before turning to summit the head of the sleeping giant. This ridge hike has beautiful views of the eastern side of Kauai and despite being a somewhat rainy day, I was rewarded with a rainbow at the summit.
All footage was shot with a GoPro Hero 5 at 1080p 60fps from the first person POV.
