There’s no denying that a trip to the tropics costs a pretty penny, but the coastal pathways and winding trails on Maui, Kauai, Oahu and the Island of Hawaii offer plenty of delightful recreation &…
from Hanalei town to Haena State Park has resumed, if you’d like to let someone else do the driving.In Hawaii, the mountains and sea are worshipped as sacred gifts of nature. In ancient times, they formed the natural boundaries of royal land divisions. On Maui, it’s the makai or seaside that captivates most travelers, many of whom come to walk or run the island’s myriad coastal paths.
On the makai side of the path, interpretive signs detail some of the more than 60 species of native Hawaiian plants found here. These hardy plants are adapted to the harsh coastal climate of South Maui and the extremes of heat, salt and wind. These plants arrived in the Hawaiian islands by wind, ocean currents and bird migration and include beach naupaka, silvery hinahina, and succulent ‘akulikuli.
Hike the shoreline trail or take a short detour around some ancient Hawaiian ruins to the Hoapili Trail or the King’s Highway, which is believed to be an old trail that the early Hawaiians would walk barefoot. At a signpost, the Hoapili Trail continues another two miles to the secluded Keawanaku Beach, another good snorkeling spot.
Flat and very scenic, this is a perfect route to walk or run in the early morning and evening hours, when fewer people are out and the views of Lanai and Molokai are lovely. Stroll the path around sunset to enjoy the hotels’ Hawaiian music and hula shows and a cliff-diving ceremony at Pu’u Keka’a. Kapalua’s nature-soaked, 1.75-mile-long path is a combination of paved path, dirt trails, resort walkways and boardwalk. It stretches along a stunning stretch of coastline from Napili Bay to Kapaula Bay, then past Namalu Bay , Hawea Point , expansive Oneloa Bay, the bizarre rock formations of Dragon’s Teeth at Makaluapuna Point and Honokahua Bay , a perfect spot for body boarding and wave play.
