NaPali coast
We will be on Kauai for 7 days.
We are taking a Helicopter trip our first full day there. We are also taking a boat trip with Captain Sundown along the NaPali coast out of Hanalei about mid-trip. With these 2 activies should we skip hiking the NaPali Coast Trail or should we consider some other activity instead?
Day 1: Waimea Canyon & Helicopter Ride
Day 2: Evening Wedding
Day 3: Nothing but 90 minute surf lesson in mid-afternoon
Day 4: Relax - Hike NaPali Coast???
Day 5: Relax
Day 6: NaPali Boat Trip
Day 7: Leave for Hilo at 1pm

Since you'll be near Kapalua, Sansei restaurant is good, sushi ... but the Bay Club is bad (Maui Reveals actually gives it an "ono" but dinner there was overpriced, food so-so, and the service terrible. This is a restaurant catering to the time-share crowd staying there. Steer clear!!

The Kalalau Train on the NaPali coast is most definitely worth doing. However, in my opinion, the outlook at the end of the Awaawapui trail (sp?) from Koke'e State Park is even more spectacular.
Blacktie, have you ever been to Hawaii? Nancy03 was asking about Kauai, not Maui.

You're right, Roxy. I'll bet that's exactly what happened. By the way, I too have been thumbing through my blue bibles and drooling on them until the pages are almost see-through! My family says that I like planning better than going. Who all will be on Kauai in June? Let's have a roll call...

Crazy,
Planning's the second best part! I planned a trip to Tahiti we can't yet afford to take, and thumbed through Puerto Rico/USVI a bit. Sometimes I even look through Maui Revealed and think about last year's trip. Last July on Maui my boyfriend was amazed by how much I knew about the area and all the places I recognized!
love

I don't remember the distance; I think it took 4-5 hours there and back. It is not strenuous in terms of steepness. But what makes it tiring is that is slightly downhill to the lookout, which means that it is slightly and constantly uphill going back.
But the view from the lookout makes it more than worthwhile. By the way, it is described in the Blue Bible, Kauai Revealed.
