Sleeping Giant or Nounou is a beautiful mountain located in Kauai, one of the main Hawaiian Islands. Discover this unique mountain shaped like a giant on this unforgettable hike in Kauai.
The trail will take us uphill on a climb of nearly 1,000 feet through lush vegetation until we reach the Giant’s chin, nose, and forehead. From there, we will continue on to an amazing waterfall, but first, we will stop for lunch at a local restaurant for a delicious meal.
In total, the tour will take around 7 hours. We will walk on unpaved, steep, and sometimes muddy terrain. Therefore, a good fitness level is a must. Also, you should be ready for both sunshine and rain.
So if you are interested in exploring the beautiful Sleeping Giant mountain, send your request and book your place now. You won’t regret your decision.
This island offers many options to enjoy hiking. You can also join us on a great Napali Coast Cliff Top Hiking day!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
