Kudos to you! I have walked in and out of the Kalalau 4 times and one time, I hang glided off the Kalalau Lookout, landed on the beach and camped there for 17 days and nights. (Hang Gliding Magazine September 1978 issue) This was over 40 years ago. The last time, in 1982. You made me jealous when you encountered the goats. All the times I have been there and never a goat, except when I was at the Lookout, when a Poacher fell over the cliff, trying to "capture" one, dead or alive. Poacher died. I was surprised to see so many other people, at the beach, when you were there. I believe your video will enhance many healthy outdoor adventurers to experience what you and I have experienced.
On Kauai, there lived a gentle giant named Puni. He was a great friend to the menehune - or the little mystical people who lived on Kauai. Puni would often travel with his little friends to visit the Kalalau Valley in Na Pali. because Puni was so tall and the menehune were so short, Puni the giant usually ended up waiting for his friends for hours here at Kalalau. To help pass time, Puni began to sculpt the cliffs of the Na Pali into beautiful curved shapes. When his little friends asked him what he was making, Puni would tell them that they would have to wait till he’s finished and see for themselves. They are the mountain tops of Mu.
We just got our permits and we are heading out the first week of September. You’re making me a little less scared of crawlers ledge. My husband and I are in our 50s and we’ve done the trail to the falls, which was 8 miles round-trip, but decided we have to do this to say we did it. I can’t wait to experience the entire trail . Mahalo for sharing your trip
That’s so exciting! I’m glad to have eased your fears a bit:) I’m sure you guys will love experiencing the whole trail. Have a wonderful time and stay safe! 🤍
Glad you loved the video! Probably not a trail recommended for anyone with a crippling fear of heights:) but if you ever want to try to face your fears, just stay focused on the pretty views!
Glad you liked the video! Appreciate the watch. Good luck on the trail! If you're not too afraid of heights and you get good weather then the ledge is not too scary :) Stay safe and enjoy your trip!
Happy Friday to you from beautiful tropical island 🏝 🌴 of Kauai, Hawaii. One of the most expensive island on the planet and one of the most beautiful on the planet .Thanks for sharing. I did to Na Pali trail two times in 1990 and 2019 I am European from very good country Estonia 🇪🇪 Tallinn one of the most technological advance counyry in the world and the most romantic contry in the world ,but need to know Estonian language one of the most difficult to learn language. Located in the northern europe. 🌹 💐
I did a video where I talked about some of the other places I went on Kauai and Maui my first time there! A First Timer's Hawaiian Experience th-cam.com/video/WLAY96ePzDo/w-d-xo.html
My apartment building has a "free" table. Interesting stuff gets left on it I saw a cassette to CD adaptor for a car stereo, if you remember those, lots of kitchy art, old dishes. One day there were a few packages of tampons and pads. I think one of our residents went into menopause. Another time there was cat toys and litter. I think someone lost a friend. ANd another time a big ampersand. You know, the & sign. No other letters, just the & sign. Still wondering what the story behind that was. Then someone stole the "free" table because they thought it was the "free table". It was later returned.
I think a free table is a great idea! The ampersand may have been used for a wedding! I saw a couple once who tied a big ampersand between their chairs during dinner :)
Thanks Matt! It definitely was less crowded from what I’ve heard. Apparently there are usually a bunch of helicopters and boats doing tours so it was awesome to get to experience it without all that going on! Honestly, I can’t imagine how muddy/dangerous that trail would have been had it been open in January 🙈 things usually work out how they should 😊
Thank you! I believe I booked it about 2 weeks in advance, but you usually need to book a little further in advance. I was able to go during a week day and because of COVID there were much fewer people. Hope you get to go soon!
How long would you say it took to get across crawlers ledge? I wanna do this hike but I’m not well with ledges like that so if it’s not like an hour of enduring it I may be more inclined to do it 😂😅
The entirety of crawler’s ledge is in the video! It is speeded up, but it’s definitely not an hour long 😊 maybe 5 minutes to do the whole ledge? About the amount of time it takes to eat two granola bars while walking 😂
Just imagine hiking on the Crawler’s Ledge area during the rain as I saw in another video. Talking about scary situations. I have encountered them in dreams.
I couldn't do it even on a sunny day. My fear of heights would cause my bp to go nuts, then I'd get dizzy, then more anxiety and a snowball effect. I wish I could, it looks awesome!
These "hikes" are no way laughable or just some dare, they are incredibly dangerous and border on the suicidal... The NaPali coast and its mountain ranges are so beautiful and deadly. Social media and videos like this encourage this kind of risk-taking, daring others to do it whilst taking plenty of selfies... Hiking should be relaxing and fun, not about pushing the envelope and risking death. Whether it's Kauai or the Grand Canyon or any other iconic landscape, taking these kinds of risks is pointless, life ends soon enough without rushing it. What's more, is that rescue teams have to risk their lives to either save someone or recover their body. Point is, there are so many fabulous hiking trails in Kauai to choose from, sure you can twist your ankle or break a leg in a regular city park, but hiking along a sheer cliff slope??? Ironically and sadly, even with all the warning signs, most deaths in that region are lost by trying to cross the raging stream, which can rise very quickly and hide the slippery rocks below!
Thank you! Yes, at 2:10 in the video you can briefly see the parking lot area but it is right before the initial walk up to the official trailhead :) you can purchase an overnight parking permit on Hawaii’s .gov site (same place you’d buy a trail permit). There are also usually shuttles from one of the resorts on the north side of the island and you can purchase one of those instead if you don’t have a car!
Hi Kim! I use Osprey's Ariel AG 65 backpack. So it holds 65 L, but you could do this trip with a smaller pack if your hiking partner is also taking some! I only have one backpack so it's what I use for every trip, but it was not packed to full capacity for this two-nighter :) Here's the link to the backpack if you're curious: www.osprey.com/us/en/product/ariel-ag-65-ARIEL65.html
Hi Pranitha! Thank you for watching:) yes, there are people who do the hike out and back all in one day so it is definitely possible to do it backpacking in 2 days. I would recommend only doing that if you are confident in your endurance and stamina though! Good luck to you if you decide to go :)
I believe we started a little after 8 AM and we arrived at the campsite a little after 5 PM. We definitely took it slow though and stopped for lunch/snacks and to fill our waters etc. :)

Thank you Nelson! Your adventures with the trail sound amazing as well. 17 days! Wow! I suppose you’ll have to try one more time to see some goats 😅
Hi Amy, your number 1 fan here. This video is by far your best yet! Keep up the good work!
Thanks #1 fan! Appreciate the account creation 😆
Great video and nice shot of the Buddha at 7:57.

Aloha! We love Kauai,Na Pali Coast,Waimea Canyon and other....♥️Thank you for video!!!♥️
Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching! Aloha :)
I loved your video!! The El Dorado “Trail We Blaze” song was my favorite part! Literally made me want to try, just because of this😂💙
Thank you! It's a great movie haha and a perfect song for the trail! It was stuck in my head most of the hike lol

My home away from home, nice video
It's really an amazing place!
can you imagine putting in all that effort and time just to have to wait in line to enjoy a small waterfall? :(
haha the wait time wasn't too long :) lots of creeks along the way to fill up too!

So happy you were able do the trail after you were robbed in January. I bet it was less crowded due to the decline in Hawaiian Tourism
Thanks Matt! It definitely was less crowded from what I’ve heard.

Honestly, I can’t imagine how muddy/dangerous that trail would have been had it been open in January 🙈 things usually work out how they should 😊
those viewsssss!!
The views were amazing! Can’t wait to go back someday
Going out for hike now just finished a 5 hour hike.
It’s so great to get outdoors!
Great video 🤙

@@LiveYourFulList your welcome. If you guys ever come back and want to do a group camp and be dropped off with a boat let me know

Can you finish this hike in 2 days ? Just by camping for one night. Thank you for the video,

Not sure if it was stated, what time of year did this take place?
Hi there! This hike was done at the beginning of August :)
How much time do you spent from the sign of start till the Napali coast ? Thanks in advance
It took almost 9 hours for us but we had heavy packs and took several breaks! Could definitely be done in a shorter amount of time :)
Is there any other safe way to get there? I’m too scared
You can have a boat take you to see the coast but they’re not legally supposed to drop you off there!
What is your start and end time?
I believe we started a little after 8 AM and we arrived at the campsite a little after 5 PM. We definitely took it slow though and stopped for lunch/snacks and to fill our waters etc. :)
Hey what are the direction for the pools at 10:58 ?
Hi! So at 8:02, I show a sign that you pass by when you're almost to the beach. The End Valley Trail is the trail you take to get to the pools :)
