Maha’ulepu (MA·HA ule·PU) is an area rich in natural and local history. Learn about the epic land and sea battle that was fought and won here by the people of Kauaʻi in the 1300s. Your guide will share the story and cultural meaning of the area. Know you’ll be doing your part, as 10% of every Kauaʻi tour will be donated to Makauwahi Cave Reserve and/or Mālama Maha’ulepu.

Choose The Option That’s Right For Your Group

After a day of hiking, nothing feels better than a cooling dip. After the hike, you have the option to snorkel at a beautiful South Shore location. Snorkeling will add about two hours to the tour time. If you choose this option, please pack a lunch.
On Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun, or by special request, our visit will include a guided tour of the nearby Makauwahi Cave Reserve to see Hawaii’s largest limestone cave and richest fossil site!

Feel the Power of the Ocean

Feel the waves crashing below you, and the compacting of air within the cliffs creates a special surprise. Hiking this beautiful stretch of undeveloped coastline will give you a sense of what ancient Kauaʻi might have felt like long before tourists left their footprints in the sand. It is in this natural setting that we will have a good chance of seeing giant land tortoises that are doing their part to help restore native plants.

Description

This hike is a favorite! Kauai is popular for its natural beauty, and there's no better way to experience it than by hiking to a promontory with stunning views. We'll see Hāʻupu Mountain, Kawelikoa Point, and the Kaua'i Channel from this vantage point. The Kaua'i Channel is particularly striking, as it is very deep, and on clear days, you can even see Oahu 108 miles in the distance. Smelling the salt air and watching the waves crash below is an unforgettable experience.

Maha'ulepu is one of the most special places on Kaua'i. It's not only rich in natural history but cultural history as well. In the 1300s, there was an epic land and sea battle fought here. The people of Kaua'i were victorious, and the area was given the name Maha'ulepu, which literally means "falling together."

As one of the last remaining undeveloped coastline areas on the South Shore, this area is still fiercely protected by locals. On Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, or by special request, we can include a guided tour of a limestone cave and rich fossil site. After the hike, you can choose to snorkel at a beautiful South Shore location. A lovely way to cool off after your hike!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Hire A Guide?

We don’t want you to worry while you’re on vacation! We will keep you safe, on the trail, and prepared with the appropriate equipment. Our guides know Kaua’i intimately and are trained to handle first aid and other safety concerns common on local trails. Beyond that, our guides will enrich your experience by teaching you about local history, flora and fauna — and, of course, by picking the perfect trail for your group. It’s our job and passion to make sure you have the best possible experience while on Kaua’i!
What Equipment Will I Need?

Equipment needs depend on the tour you book. Within 24 hours of purchasing your hike, a trip-specific list of recommended equipment, aka “gear list,” will be included in your confirmation email. If you don’t have something on the gear list, don’t worry! Let your guide know, we will find a way to make it work (we have a stockpile of “lender gear”). Your guide will carry a well-stocked first aid kit, extra sunscreen, extra water, and bug spray, and hike specific safety equipment as needed. Please keep in mind that the weather on Kaua’i is localized and changes often. Additionally, the temperature is generally about 15 degrees colder in Kōkeʻe and Waimea Canyon State Park(s) than on the coast. For this reason, we request that you heed the gear list and do your best to prepare accordingly.
What Happens If The Weather Is Bad?

Rain is the reason the Garden Isle is so green; it often provides amazing picture-taking opportunities and a big supply of rainbows! Tours operate rain or shine, except in the most extreme cases. Keep in mind that just because it’s raining where you are, it doesn’t mean it will be raining where your tour will be, and vice-versa. The good news: fun can be had no matter what; there is still plenty to see and experience regardless of the island’s mood! Additionally, rain showers are often localized and usually do not last long. We encourage you to keep an open mind and a positive attitude regarding rain. Our guides are better than most at studying and predicting island weather, but we can't control the weather yet. Rescheduling to another day often won't work as the weather on this island is unpredictable. Leading up to your tour, your guide will update you on the weather situation and tour possibilities. If your tour is in jeopardy of being canceled, we will contact you as soon as possible. If we decide to cancel your tour (this is rare), you will have the option to reschedule for another day or be given a full refund.
How Difficult Is This Hike?

You must have a reasonable level of fitness and be able to hike up to 12 miles, and you must be able to walk on unpaved, uneven, steep, and possibly muddy terrain. You should not participate in this activity if you have a heart condition, are pregnant, or have an extreme fear of heights.
