    Your video reminds me of the summer in Napali coast 2007.

    You guys have it goin’ on!! In 1974 I lived in Kalalau for 6 months. No one ever found my place. From my hammock I had a straight line of sight to the red hill and would would watch for chicks coming in. I did the trail over 25 times and could do it in 3 hours flat with a 100 lb pack. When I wasn’t in Kalalau, I stayed in Taylor Camp, another piece of history. Everyone should do the trail at least one time. You never forget it…… Aloha!!!!

    you just go in the bushes. i kiked it back in 1993. it makes you want to quit your job and live on the trail and smoke pot. alot of nudist kikers on this trail. saw alot of naked chicks. no big dealwhen everyone is naked. i slept right on the trail. the camp ground on the trail has alot of mosquitos. most awesome sunset in the world. the clarity of the night air is most pristine in the world. no city lights. the night skies light up with millions of stars. awesome.retire there.

    This is really a wonderful video..showing the beauty, majesty and power of the trail and a good group of people enjoying it. One thing I noticed is that the trail looked dry, the beach was large and your butts were not covered with red mud…so must have been a nice dry day. When I loved on Kauai, it always seemed to rain when I hiked Na Pali, and you HAD to have a hiking stick, because that mud is so damn slippery! Good times remembered…Mahalo!

    aloha gelle! great video! may 2009 was the 3rd time for me to hike the trail. what you say about taking out the camera has a lot of truth to it. it takes extra effort & in some places is impossible or too dangerous to do so. if you search you’ll see there aren’t many pics to be found. people are too concerned with staying alive to take out the cam!

    Your husband is a smart man.
    Parts of Kalalau trail are terrifying.
    One moments inattention, loss of balance or tiny slip can cost you your life.
    Travel light, drink water at every chance , start early as possible. It’s totally worth it!

    This is without a doubt the best hike Ive ever been on. Amazing beauty. Not technical but it can be dangerous if not careful.

    I’m slowly becoming addicted to hiking. I love these videos!

    Wow!!! I liked your video. I was just on Kauai and wanted to do this hike but my husband said, “NO!” Probably not great for our 11 year old daughter to be exposed to the dangers. Anyway, I’m going back to Kauai someday to do this hike with or without my family.

    Mike’s Danish, Alberto & Fernando are Puerto Rican & Femi is Northern Irish/Nigerian. Great bunch of lads

  19. ironspokes says:

    wonderful video , i hiked there and lived in that valley 40 years ago when NO one was there. . pity you didnt mention the towering man made taro fields of ovaihua akua, and when you just come INTO the beach there is an ancient heaiu that you cross through that way dedicated to the TURTLE god, , the name KALALAU was actually give to that valley by the last LEPER that hid out there so he didnt have to be sent off to Molokai.

    What are the songs from the soundtrack – great vid by the way – I’m heading to Kauai in 3 days to do the trail by myself (somewhat of a spiritual journey)

  21. mililaniguy says:

    Great vid guys! Where are you guys all from, by the way?

  22. CRYSTALPALACER says:

    You can hike the whole way and come back by boat like we did…what an awesome hike and gonna be in Kauai this Saturday….MY BIRTHDAY!!..HE HE

  23. TheJwalkers says:

    Is it possible to hike this one way or do you have to go back the way you came?

  24. norcalchrismeister says:
