Description

This hiking experience through Waimea Canyon and Kōkeʻe State Park is a unique opportunity to enjoy two of the most beautiful landmarks in Kauai. During one full day, you will be able to learn about the island scenery and explore remote spots.

The total duration of the tour is of 6/7 hours, from pick up/meet up to drop off, and includes not only the hiking time but also a scenic drive of 1 hour each way, stopping for lunch at a rustic mountain top lodge, and stopping at several overlooks of Waimea Canyon and The Napali Coast as accessed from Kōkeʻe State Park 4k feet above (not the Kalalau Trail accessed from the North Shore). Which trail(s) we actually hike will depend on the group’s interest and fitness level. and the amount of time and difficulty level of the hike is also adjustable as the tour is private and fully customizable.

During the trek, you will pass by the towns of Hnapépé and Waimea, which were important cores in the prosperous sugar industry that took place in Hawaii between 1835 and 2010.

The Waimea Canyon is one of the highlights that will blow your mind. The colorful rocky walls reveal its beauty and invite you to admire nature’s wonders. In addition, you will see amazing views of the well-known Napali Coast and the Waipo’o Falls.

Inside the park, I will show you secret corners with exotic vegetation and forest birds. You will be able to explore the terrain and reward yourself with the tropical scenery you’ll discover at every step you make.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
