Aloha Reader! If you’re dreaming of jaw-dropping views and unforgettable family adventures on Kauai, let me introduce you to the Na Pali Coast. It’s one of the most beautiful places in all of Hawaii—and my family has been visiting it for years. Every time we go, it still takes our breath away! So, how do you visit this iconic spot? 🚗 Want to Explore on Your Own? You can drive as far as Hā'ena State Park and hike part of the Kalalau Trail (like the 2-mile hike to Hanakāpīʻai Beach).
