The Napali Coast, which stretches 27 kilometers along the North Shore of Kauai, is a sacred place characterized by its extraordinary natural beauty. These emerald green cliffs with sharp ridges tower over the Pacific Ocean, revealing beautiful beaches and waterfalls that plummet over the lush valley. The rough terrain closely resembles what it was centuries ago when Hawaiian settlements flourished in these deep and narrow valleys, subsisting solely on the food they could grow and the fish they could catch.
