Kauaʻi Trails & Access
Kauaʻi is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands and has some of the most dramatic landscapes in which to hike. From the Kalalau Trail on Kauaʻi’s lush north shore to trails in the beautifully arid Waimea Canyon, Kauaʻi offers breathtaking views of ancient lands forged in fire and shaped by water.

Kauaʻi Nā Ala Hele Advisory Council
The Nā Ala Hele Advisory Councils provide advice and assistance to the department in implementing the Nā Ala Hele Program. There are seven councils: a statewide council, and island councils for the islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Maui, and Hawaiʻi. Members of the advisory councils are appointed by the department chairperson and represent stakeholder groups including hikers, hunters, bikers, equestrian riders, off-highway vehicles, Hawaiian cultural representatives or practitioners, fishers, environmentalists, affected landowners, or other trail and access advocates.
For information on the Kauaʻi Advisory Council, contact Nā Ala Hele staff.
