- Exploring Waimea Canyon via the Kukui Trail | Hiking Kauai
Waimea Canyon is known to be the Grand Canyon of the pacific. The road that drives through the Kokee State Park is very popular amongst tourists and locals alike. The state park is also home to tons of hikes in a wide range of difficulty.
Kukui trail is a hike that is a bit more difficult and is definitely a longer hike. We'd suggest making a day out of this hike and have a picnic with a swim at the bottom. It is a total of 6 miles with 2,346 ft of elevation. It took us a total of 4 hours but 3:30 of that was moving time and a whole half-hour of relaxing.
Throughout most of the hike, you have spectacular canyon views and you might see some mountain goats! Once you get back into the jungle, towards the bottom, you'll see some amazing plants and then eventually get to the destination which is the Waimea River.
While hiking, we passed many other people who did not go all the way to the bottom. While that is a viable option, we'd suggest taking the time to get down to the river for it is just as spectacular and fun to explore.
We hope you think to include this marvelous hike in your next Kauai visit, it is worth it!

Thanks for sharing! My next trip to Kauai will be full of hikes like this.
Have fun!
Fantastic hike! It's like a mini Grand Canyon with that decent at the front. 👍To answer your question, normal life has been keeping me positive. 😁
Waimea Canyon is called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific! It is an incredible place, definitely would recommend it for anyone visiting Hawaii. Glad normal life is keeping you positive!

Thanks for posting this! It's especially nice to see nature right now being cooped up indoors!
I'm really glad to hear that! I didn't really think about these videos being positive for those stuck inside but I'm glad you mentioned that! I always hoped these videos would inspire people to get out more but in times like these that is second best!
Beautiful hike, but going back up must have been brutal!
I was dreading it but I actually enjoyed it because I knew how much further it was the whole time so I stayed motivated. Thanks for watching!
Looks like such a fun exploration, I love visiting nature and it is so soothing! Sending blessings to you for happiness, health and success! 💖🙏
Thank you so much! This was an incredible hike, we really enjoyed it.
This looks like so much fun! And what a great escape for the kind at a time like this! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
This hike was a few weeks ago for us, but editing it was a great escape! Thank you for watching
This looks awesome! I can’t wait for everything to blow over so we can book our next trip.
Yeah, we are getting a little stir crazy over here. We had this big hiking challenge planned to keep us occupied and then the trail closed. I’m enjoying editing all of our past adventures and sharing them.
It was nice to think back on this hike in Kauai. We've been trying our best to get out hiking every day during this wild time in our world. What is keeping you positive?
In love with your hikes!!! You guys made us miss Hawaii so bad! The views are so beautiful! Stay safe you guys!!! ❤️ 🤗
Thank you!! I hope you guys are also staying safe out there. It's a tough time for travel channels like us! We miss Hawaii too, we are back in New England.
Ahhh I love nature!! This looks so amazing!
Thank you! It was an incredible hike.
I want to go to explore! I went to Hawaii once but was sick! I hope to go back next year. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry you were sick! I hope you get a chance to visit again. Where's your favorite place to explore?
I just got back from the Big Island in February... it was gorgeous! This was fun to hike with you! New Sub 🥰
Thank you for subscribing! We've never been to the Big Island but would like to go soon. What was the highlight of your trip?
Wow this looks absolutely amazing!! I can't wait to be out of quarantine and be able to travel and explore again!!
Yes, us too! We are so lucky we were able to travel back before this all hit us. It was only really a week before it got big here in the US. Where would you want to travel?
Wild and Growing I’d love to travel around the USA and Canada (I’m from London but living in Italy atm)! I’d also love to go to New Zealand haha 😘
Coming back up ⬆️ it’s tough
Get some energy bars n water with electrolytes !!!!!
Definitely! It’s like a reverse hike haha. Usually you get the hard part over with in the first half of the hike!
