Waimea Canyon is a unique place for
hiking in Hawaii. Mark Twain called it "the Grand Canyon of
the Pacific". Because of the close proximity of things to
do in Kauai, many of our day hikes over the NaPali Coast include
stops along the rim of Waimea Canyon for photography and other
activities. Or schedule a private guided hiking tour on one of
the trails that skirt the rim or descend into Waimea Canyon
itself.
