Another way to experience the Napali Coast is to hike. Thursday morning we once again headed over to Ke’e beach, this time to hike instead of swim. The Kalalau trail starts at Ke’e beach and after a few minutes of steep climbing you get to the top of the coast where you are rewarded with amazing views. After that most of the rest of the hike comes with an ocean view. The trail is 11 miles and is the most famous trail on the island. We chose to only do the first 2 miles of the hike which takes you to Hanakapi’ai Beach. The hike was a little tricky in places but I’m happy to say our whole group made it. The scenery was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. The hike took most of the morning and early afternoon.

After the hike we relaxed for a bit at the house before heading down Hukilau Lanai, a restaurant famous for their fresh fish and amazing views, for a fancy pants dinner that was just too tasty for words. Lobster Bisque and the Mixed Grill (Spicy Grilled Spear Fish and Butter Fish with Coconut Curry Risotto and Sugar Cane Shrimp with Pineapple Mango Salsa). See, I still remember it perfectly. Definitely one of the best meals of my life.
After dinner we walked down to the beach and enjoyed the sunset. The beach was covered in driftwood and was incredibly pretty.
I love my fam.
