    • Hawaiians still consider Kalalau and the Na Pali coast as sacred ground.There are many heiau's (sacred place of worship),ancient archeological sites, and burial sites for the many people who onced lived and farmed in the Kalalau valley's.
    Heiau's are to be treated with the utmost respect.
    Do not disturb any bones or take any artifacts as souveniers.

    • At the end of the trail is Kalalau Valley; A huge wide open sweeping valley with a huge waterfall tucked deep in the valley.You can rest and relax after making the 11 mile hike.If you enjoy solitude and meditation, listen to the surf, listen to the land and listen to the walls of the valley. They will speak to you.It is truely a spiritual/religious experience. You will leave the valley a different person and the 11 mile trip out will seem much shorter.
