Coastal Beach Nature Walk and Swim/Snorkel Excursion in Kauai

Mahaulepu Coast Nature Walk

Come walk Kauai's intriguing, wild southeast coast. On this relaxing nature walk, guests will encounter the most extensive record of Hawaii's natural history and cultural past.

Discover history written in lava rock, and natural history treasures eroding out of ancient lithified sand dunes while on this leisurely south shore walk. You'll experience blessings of island sun and refreshing Trade Winds as history unfolds before your eyes and at your feet.

In addition to evidence of the stages of the island's volcanic growth over the past 5 million years, you'll see the record of numerous Pleistocene sea level changes over the past 350,000 years. Enter a sinkhole where unearthed fossil-filled sediments reveal a 10,000 year-old scenario of Mahaulepu's native plants and animals, through fossil pollen, bones and more. See evidence of the impact by humans on the region over the past 1,000+ years. Plus, Green Sea Turtles, Spinner Dolphins, Monk Seals and Humpback Whales can be viewed along the coast most of the year.

This 2.5 Mile coastal walk begins just a few minutes after the 9am Poipu Beach Park pickup. With interpretation and discussion, it takes about 4 hours to reach a beach cove where your delicious deli-style lunch awaits you. After, there is plenty of time to swim and snorkel in the warm waters of Kawailoa Bay.

Recommended for all Nature Tours in Kauai: If you have a favorite day pack, bring it! Please don't forget SUNSCREEN. Depending on which hike you choose, a swim suit is a good idea, but not necessary. Don't forget your hat, sunglasses, and camera. Running shoes are acceptable, so are sport-sandals, but hiking boots are the best (the more ankle support the better!). We provide backpacks and raingear, but bring your own if you would like.
