<\/a>If you are seasoned hiker, or even a beginner, there are numerous trails in Kauai to satisfy all your hiking needs. Much of Kauai is inaccessible by road, making it the perfect hiking destination. The Kalalau Trail<\/strong> along the Napali Coast is 11 miles long. While this trail is considered challenging, don\u2019t let that stop you from exploring its beauty for at least 2 miles to see Hanakapi\u2019ai Beach. The view of Kauai\u2019s North Shore is breathtaking \u2013 with the lush green mountain terrain on one side and the steep cliff drop towards the powerful ocean below, the Kalalau trail is not one to miss.<\/p>\n There are also many famous hiking trails on the Big Island. King\u2019s Trail, also known as Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail<\/strong>, is located on the Kona Coast. It is a 175-mile long trail that travels through numerous ancient Hawaiian settlements.\u00a0 You will come across temples, petroglyphs, and even fishing shrines! In addition to the cultural and historical richness of the trail, the natural resources will be surrounding you in abundance. Look for the native sea turtle habitats \u2013 when the water is calm you may see turtles in small coves along the shore.<\/p>\n The Pipiwai Trail<\/strong> in Haleakala National Park in Maui offers its visitors a glimpse of the island\u2019s beautifully diverse scenery. Don\u2019t forget to pick up some bamboo hiking poles at the trailhead. The hike has some steep slopes in the first half mile that can be difficult to maneuver, especially in the rainy season from November through March. Highlights on the trail include sights such as a majestic banyan tree, a bamboo forest, and cascading waterfalls. Waimoku Falls, located at the end of the trail, drops 400 feet off a sheer cliff of black lava rock.<\/p>\n Have you even wanted to hike up a volcano? If you are planning a visit to Waikiki, the Diamond Head summit trail<\/strong>, or Le\u2019ahi in Hawaiian, <\/strong>is not to be missed. Diamond Head received its name by British sailors in the 19th<\/sup> century who thought they saw diamonds on the volcano slopes. Although there were no diamonds to be found, the name stuck. This 560 foot climb can be done in about an hour and any able-bodied person can enjoy its spectacular 360\u00b0 views. From Waikiki, to the Pacific Ocean, to Ko\u2019olau Mountains, the views are absolutely stunning. Bring water and sunscreen with you on the hike to the Diamond Head crater, as it can get hot on the trail and a nice breeze and shade are sometimes hard to come by.<\/p>\n Always take precautions while hiking. Be sure to wear shoes that you don\u2019t mind getting wet and\/or muddy. It is also important to always bring water and food, as the hiking can work up an appetite. Even if you are a seasoned hiker, it is best to hike with a partner. Not only will you be able to share the sights with someone, but it\u2019s always nice to have a helping hand on those steeper slopes. Hawaii is gorgeous with its pristine natural beauty and its magnificently breathtaking views. There are many well-tread trails that wind around the islands of Hawaii, don\u2019t miss your opportunity to explore as many of them as you can.
