If you are looking for an adventurous trek with impressive sights, this Nounou Mountain hike is for you! During one day you will enjoy nature’s breathtaking wisdom while you exercise through a good pace walk.
Nounoun Mountain, also known as Sleeping Giant, is situated in the Nounou Forest Reserve on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. I don’t want to spoil the whole story, so I’ll only say that during the trek you will listen to the beautiful legend that gave the name to the mountain that looks like a human being leaned back.
The trail is designed to go up right to the Giant’s forehead! In other words, you will accomplish an ascent of 300 meters through a bushy, uneven, steep and muddy trail. From the top, you will be able to see the Wailua Homesteads, the Mount Wai’ale’le and the eastern shore.
In case you want to keep on discovering Hawaii, I can take you to one of the waterfalls in the island, where you can refresh with a pleasant swim.
Interested in this great Nounou Mountain hike? Send me a request! It’ll be an amazing experience and you will be able to enjoy spectacular views.
If you want to discover the Napali Coast, you may check out this Nāpali Coast Hiking day in Kauai. It is a promising hike too!

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.
