Sightseeing
It's called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific for a reason. Several hikes end on the road to Kalalau Lookout and Waipio Falls Trail. Our favorite is the last lookout Pu’u O Kila Lookout which gives you great views of the Kalalau valley.

A permit is needed to park or hike. They only allow a small
number of cars and it is challenging to get reservations. You can reserve 30 days in advance. Gohaena.com to make reservations. Most people take the shuttle. Walk the Kalalau trail 2 miles to Hanakapi’ai beach. Anyone proceeding
beyond Hanakapi’ai valley must possess a valid overnight camping permit. The trail to Hanakapi’ai falls and beyond Hanakapi’ai is recommended for experienced hikers only. I suggest walking poles if you are older and plan on
getting dirty shoes. The trail can be slippery and challenging.
