Transcript:
The rural, slow paced setting of west side Kaua‘i is set amongst a dramatic backdrop, with rich red soils and an arid environment that makes it a distinct ecological area of the island. This off the beaten path region contains one of the world’s most famous attractions, and also has a lively arts scene, shopping, and dining, where traces of cultural traditions remain.
On the way to the west side, you’ll also pass 3,100 stretching acres of coffee, which is the largest thriving farm in both Hawai‘i and the United States.
The quaint town of ‘Ele‘ele is home to Port Allen, which is a major location for boat tours of the breathtaking Nā Pali coastline.
Known as the “Biggest Littlest Town” on Kaua’i, the festive Hanapepe has an unmistakable architectural flair found in the shops and storefronts. As the art capital of the island, its vivacious history and creative edge make this locale well worth a visit. “A colorful, charming west-side town, Hanapepe has more art galleries than anywhere else on
Kaua’i.”
After exploring Hanapepe town, the neighboring Salt Pond Beach Park is a cultural cornerstone. The area is named for its Hawaiian salt collecting tradition, and is located next to the only natural salt ponds on Kaua’i. “The protective crescent-shaped cove makes it a great place for families to swim or snorkel, and it also remains a great surf and wind-surfing spot.”
Situated at mouth of the Waimea River, Fort Elizabeth is another historic landmark on the west side. Commonly known as the Russian Fort, built in 1817, this area is open for self-guided tours.
Stained with deep red sediment, the Waimea River flows into the highest elevation wet-forest in the world, Alaka’i Swamp. “Meandering through the scenic Waimea Canyon, this Kaua‘i river is just over 12 miles in length, and is one of the longest in the state.”
The town of Waimea, which translates as “red fresh water,” is founded on the flood plain of the river. Famously known as the site of Captains Cooks arrival to the Hawaiian Islands in 1778, Waimea Town is a historic Kaua‘i gem.
Waimea resides at the foot of one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders of Kaua’i. Waimea Canyon is a geological masterpiece of distant gorges, green valleys and flowing streams draped in layered lava rock. “Waimea Canyon is considered to be the grand canyon of the pacific.”
At fourteen miles long, one mile wide, and more than 3,600 feet deep, this iconic natural wonder encompasses the adjoining Waimea Canyon State Park and Kōkeʻe State Park. Traveling up the winding canyon road, the increasing elevation reveals chilly breezes, and an alternate ecosystem with sugi pine trees, regal koa forests, and native bird species, like the bright red ʻapapane.
Encompassing 4,345 acres, Kōkeʻe State Park has nineteen hiking trails to explore. Poised on a plateau between 3,200 and 4,200 feet, the park also has numerous overlooks that dot the road, like the picturesque Kalalau Lookout. “The overlook offers a view from over 4,000 feet above sea-level, where you can see for miles into the lush valleys and mountain seascapes.”
Kekaha Beach Park is the last lifeguarded western beach, with faraway views of the forbidden Niʻihau Island.
Signifying the beginning of a world renowned seventeen mile contiguous stretch of golden sand, Polihale is just beyond Mana Village and a (five mile long) dirt sugarcane road. “The longest beach in the state of Hawai’i, Polihale State Park features scenic views of the majestic Nā Pali coastline, magical sunsets, and sand dunes reaching 100 feet.”
Despite the enchanting allure of this famous beach, strong currents with no lifeguard make it very dangerous for swimming and other ocean activities. This beach is extremely hot, with clear days and little shade by the shoreline.
Experience the west side of Kaua’i, a treasure of island history, arts, and distinctive shopping and dining tucked away in the spectacular natural splendor.

Exploring the island of Ni'ihau
Most locals know you have to be invited to the island in order to visit the village but I don't think they know that you can take a tour by air and land on a beach on Niihau (for us Nanina) spending several hours enjoying the sun, sand, shells and sea.
I found a tour company online, 'Niihau Helicopters Inc' that offers tours to the public where you can actually land on Ni'ihau - it was expensive, but as local girls we understand how meaningful it is - cost didn't matter - the experience was truly priceless.
The tour company does not do any advertising instead believing...
If you are meant to come to Ni'ihau, you will find us.
I love that.
For us, truly an unforgettable experience... here is our Niihau Adventure!

Miles of pristine sand beach at Polihale State Park, Western Kauai.
Known for its 7-mile stretch of white sand beach and hot cloudless days, Polihale is the spot to dry out when the rains come. Framed by the west end of the Na Pali cliffs, sweeping sand dunes and a Ni'ihau capped ocean, Polihale can be a breath-taking experience.
