Haena Vacation Deals

Nestled in Kaua\u2019i Island, one of Hawaii\u2019s oldest islands, is a 230-acre (93-hectare) stretch of paradise called H\u0101\u02BBena State Park. The park is often referred to as the \u201Cend of the road\u201D because it is located at the terminus of the Kuhio Highway, which is the major thoroughfare between the north and east shores of Kaua\u2019i Island.

Swim in the turquoise waters at Ke\u2019e Beach. Protected from large waves by reefs, the lagoon is ideal for snorkeling and the protected cove provides the perfect setting for picnicking, fishing and sunbathing. H\u0101\u02BBena is also famous for its wet caves, which are fed by freshwater springs. Legend has it that Pele, Hawaii\u2019s volcano goddess, dug the caves in her quest to find a new home, but finding only water, she abandoned the site.\u00A0

If you are feeling active, walk the Kalalau Trail that starts in H\u0101\u02BBena. This 11-mile (18-kilometer) hike takes you past cliffs and waterfalls and through lush valleys along the N\u0101 Pali Coast. The trail is quite strenuous and if you choose to make the round trip, it is recommended to obtain a camping permit and stop overnight at Hanakoa or Kalalau Beach. For an easier pace, you can opt to walk the first quarter of the hike, which brings you to Hanakapi\u2019ai Beach, a popular tourist attraction. Admire its beautiful scenery but beware its dangerous rip currents and high surf.

H\u0101\u02BBena is an hour\u2019s drive from Lihue. Lihue Airport, the\u00A0 main airport on Kaua\u2019i Island, offers flights to Hawaii\u2019s other islands as well as mainland United States. H\u0101\u02BBena is 5 miles (8 kilometers) west of Hanalei, a beautiful crescent-shaped beach that features in several famous films, including South Pacific.\u00A0

H\u0101\u02BBena State Park offers many amenities for a day of hiking and picnicking, including restrooms, outdoor showers, picnic tables and drinking water. Admission to the park is free but it is best to arrive early, because parking spaces are limited. You can enjoy the park every day during daylight hours.
