Nā Pali Coast State Park

The Nā Pali coast itself extends southwest from Keʻe Beach all the way to Polihale State Park.

Charter tours are available on rigid-hulled inflatable boat or catamaran, originating from Port Allen and Hanalei Bay.

The Nā Pali Coast was formed 5 million years ago, when a massive amount of water spilled onto the northwest side of the island, carving its valleys.

The coast was a center for trade between Hanalei, Waimea and Niʻihau, and branched out to nearby island colonies.

During the summer season from May 15 to September 7, access from the ocean via boat or kayak is only allowed with a valid camping permit.
