Hotels in Hanalei

Rainbows crown this crescent bay like natural leis, giving this tiny North Shore haven its fitting name. Kayak through Hanalei Bay where sea turtles glide beneath your paddle and spinner dolphins might make surprise appearances. The legendary Kalalau Trail begins nearby, offering hikers jaw-dropping views of the Na Pali Coast's emerald valleys and waterfalls. Surf the gentle waves at Hanalei Beach or venture to Makua Beach for more seclusion. The historic pier stretches into waters so photogenic it starred in countless films. After beach adventures, the tiny town offers shave ice and local grinds in weathered buildings that have survived a century of island storms. Come prepared for rain – it's what keeps everything impossibly green.
