Hiking

The Kalalau (Napali Coast) Trail Hike is a spectacular extreme day hike, and one of the best in the Hawaiian Islands.  The island of Kauai is known for its heavy rainfall, panoramic views, tropical forest and rugged coastline.  This 11-mile Kalalau Trail (one-way) follows the Na Pali Coast with its incredible views of five lush valleys, waterfalls, and ancient Hawaiian ruins. 

Most day hikers go from the trailhead at Kee Beach to Hanakapiai Beach (2 miles) and then another 2 miles inland to Hanakapiai Falls, and return.  Or, backpackers stay on the coast for 11 miles and camp at the Kalalau beach.  Not many have done the complete round trip in one day. 

What makes this hike different, in addition to the natural beauty, is the trail which can be wet and tricky.  While you will not have a problem with high altitude, tree  roots, slippery rocks, and the repetitive up 400 feet and down 400 feet, make for a challenging hike.

Golf

The Prince Golf Course at Princeville is one of the most spectacular Golf Courses in the world.

Like the rest of Princeville at Hanalei, the Prince Golf Course enjoys magnificent views from 300 feet above the Pacific Ocean.

It’s not the scenery that earned the Prince Course Golf Digests rating as "Hawaii's No. 1 Golf Course,” it is the incredible design Robert Trent Jones, Jr. created to turn rolling terrain into a links-style Golf Course that will challenge you like no other.

This 18-hole, par-72 Golf Course climbs slopes and careens down hills as a demanding layout that calls for your best-planned shots.

Five different tees at each hole allow you to customize the game to meet your own skill level. Make it your goal to track your progress by choosing a more difficult tee when you return to the Prince Golf Course!

Named for Prince Albert, son of Hawaii's King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma, Golf at the Prince Golf Course is truly a royal experience.

Reward yourself with a visit to one of "America's Top 100 Golf Courses," a masterpiece of design in a majestic setting.

Farmers Market

The Hanalei Farmer's Market includes craft vendors in addition to the regular farmers, many of which are organic farmers. Popular place to look for Organic Produce, so even though about 50%-75% of the farmers have Organic Produce - much of the people attending are looking for that exclusively. If you are looking for organic lettuce, be there early and be careful once the rope goes down. Supply is sometimes slim and people sometimes run to the farmers who have it.

Occasional fish & baked goods are included by the regular produce vendors. Orchids in pots as well as cut flowers available here too. Nice locations, small yet good selection. Farmers area is roped off until opening, allowing farmers to set up and buy from each other.

The public is allowed open access to the craft vendors and access to the produce once market starts. Please observe the entrance/exit signs for parking in the field. The field is often used for soccer or seasonal craft fairs, which share the space with the farmers markets parking. Farmers & vendors need approval and pay a weekly fee, space is limited.
