The only way to get close and personal with the Napali Coast is through the 11-mile O/W Kalalau trail, which leads from Kee beach on the northeast to the Kalalau beach of Kalalau Valley on the southwest. Kalalau trail is among the Top 10 in the world, with regard to the beauty and the difficulty. I hiked this trail back in November 2007 - it was moderately strenuous but it was totally worth the time and effort. On one side is the lush green of the tropical plants, the other side is the turquoise water of the Pacific ocean, underneath is the unique volcanic red dirt. Your eyes are totally glued to the beautiful scenery of each twist and turn and your ears are pumped by the loud waves of the ocean. While you are huffing and puffing from the physical exertion, the views also help to make you gasp and take your breath away. It is just a scene too awesome to behold. I highly recommend whoever physically able to try it, at least the first 2 miles if not all. By the way, if you want to venture beyond that, you will need to apply for a permit in advance. It is advised to camp on the Kalalau valley overnight, but I have known people who did this trail R/T in one day - imagine 22 miles in one day!!!
这片土地只能通过卡拉劳小径进入,全长11英哩,从奇耶海滩开始,穿越5个山谷,终点位于鲜为人知的卡拉劳海滩。这条卡拉劳步行小道充满挑战,有时还十分危险,有些部份十分狭窄,而丰富的雨水也会令道路泥泞不堪。许多徒步旅行者选择将整个路程分为两天,在Hanakapiai海滩露营,然后第二天早晨前往卡拉劳。您需要从位于里胡的夏威夷州立公园管理部获得露营许可。建议聘请导游,避免在冬季进行徒步。
不喜欢徒步健行的观光客也能够欣赏到纳帕利海岸这里的美景。从西部Allen港出发的游船以及在夏季月份有导游的泛舟之旅,让您见证纳帕利海岸的壮丽峭壁,而空中旅游则能让您有机会亲眼目睹无法透过陆地或水上到达的纳帕利地区。放松您的心情,体验纳帕利海岸的壮观全景。
到达纳帕利海岸一般有两种途径,一种是通过卡拉劳路径(Kalalau Trail)进入,这条路径全长11英里,始于津耶海滩(Kee Beach),终于僻静的卡拉劳海滩,中间要穿越5个山谷。徒步旅程充满挑战,有时还十分危险,有些部分十分狭窄,而丰富的雨水也会令道路泥泞不堪;许多徒步旅行者选择将整个路程分为两天,中间在Hanakapiai海滩露营,然后第二天早晨前往卡拉劳;不喜欢徒步的旅客也可以采用第二种方式,即乘坐从西部Port Allen出发的游船和在夏天时进行带导游的划皮艇之游,沿途您可以尽情的欣赏纳帕利海岸悬崖的壮丽景色。现在,一些旅客乘坐直升机,更可以亲眼目睹无法通过陆地或水上到达的纳帕利地区,体验纳帕利海岸的壮观全景。
