Napali Coast is one of the most recognizable and beautiful coastlines in the world. A very special place. The pali, or cliffs, provide a rugged grandeur of deep, narrow valleys ending abruptly at the sea. Waterfalls and swift flowing streams continue to cut these narrow valleys while the sea carves cliffs at their mouths. Extensive stone walled terraces can still be found on the valley bottoms where Hawaiians once lived and cultivated taro.
OPENING OF HA?ENA STATE PARK & NAPALI COAST STATE WILDERNESS PARK Ha?ena State Park (SP) and Napali Coast State Wilderness Park (SWP) are now open! Please read below and visit our Frequent Asked Questions page for more information.
Both Ha?ena State Park and the Napali Coast State Wilderness Park were closed from April 2018 to June 2019 following severe flooding on the north shore of Kaua?i. Closure of the parks enabled the Division of State Parks to ensure better protection of our resources, mitigate decades of impacts to Ha?ena?s rural community, provide better on-site management and ultimately provide a higher-quality visitor experience through implementation of new park management strategies per the Ha?ena Master Plan.
