Excellent camera work and thank you for letting the sounds of nature be heard instead of constant music, it was refreshing. I will be hiking in July and will also be creating a video of my experience. Your content gives me inspiration, thank you.
Hi. We are headed there soon. Did you feel like you were on the ledge at any point during the hike. We are comfortable hiking but do not necessarily like hikes with ledges.
Great video. What shoes did you take? I've seen equal reviews calling for a good hiking water shoe as just a hiking boot and change into water shoes (but weighs you down more). What difficulty level would you say? My husband and I are in good health but not hikers in any sense of the word. It seems people of all ages and hiking abilities *can* complete this hike given good weather conditions, plenty of time, common sense, and proper gear.
We wore hiking/trail running shoes and carried water shoes (tevas) for swimming. The trail to the river/Hanakapiai beach could be done in either, but after the turn towards the falls there were 4 or 5 tricky sections that I was really happy to have extra traction for. Like wet and slippery / steep rocks to climb down or across and several water crossings with rock hopping. Nothing that common sense, willingness to get wet/dirty to slide on your bottom, and a good attitude couldn’t get through. It wasn’t too difficult overall, maybe 6 out of 10, but to your point we had perfect weather conditions so important to keep in mind.
hi! beautiful footage! what month did you go? And also what time of day? We're going in 3 weeks and trying to decide since it's winter/rainy season if perhaps a certain time of day would help for a chance of blue skies and sunshine rather than overcast/misty. Would appreciate any help! I've only been to Kauai in the summer months so don't know what it's like in rainy season! Thanks! :)
Thanks for watching! We went in May, so unfortunately I can’t help much with predicting for the rainy months. We were hiking around 10AM-5PM if that helps. I hope you have a great time!
We got the 10AM shuttle from the park and ride and started the actual hike just before 11AM. Got to Hanakapiai beach and the turn at 12PM, and then made it to the waterfall at 1:15PM. We're pretty fast hikers, but we stop a fair bit for pictures and to take in the views. I hope you have a wonderful time!

Hi! On the hike to Hanakapiai Falls, we never felt like we were on the ledge. There were a few sections after we turns inland towards the waterfall that we had to watch our footing, but it was only down to the river. The steeper sections with ledges on the Kalalau trail are past the turnoff for Hanakapiai

@@kmacgoes thank you!
How many hours did it take to walk to the waterfall and back?
In total we were out for 6 hours, which included about 45 minutes at the waterfall and 45 min at the beach.
