Awa'awa'puhi Trail is located in Koke'e state park and offers views and a trek through dense jungles and dry landscapes. Trail length is 3.1 miles one way with an elevation loss of approximately 1,600 feet.
The Awaawapuhi Trail is a journey that will take you on a decent from 4,120 feet elevation in the Kokee State Park to the valley rim of Nualolo and Awaawapuhi valleys at 2,500 feet. The trail will lead you through rain forest, high desert like terrain and to some of the most beautiful vistas on Kauai’s Napali Coast.
Awaawapuhi Trail is a continual downhill trek from the trail head to the grassy clearing overlooking the valleys.
After the first mile-and-a-half the forest begins to thin out and the Napali coast comes into view as well as glimpses into the Awaawapuhi Valley. At about the three mile mark is the junction of the Nualolo Cliff Trail. For the Awaawapuhi continue straight ahead to the end of the trail for spectacular panoramic views. Please be aware of VERY STEEP DROP OFFS along the cliffs.
Driving directions: Take Hwy 550 up to Kokee State Park. The trail head is about 1.5 miles past the Kokee Museum. There is a parking area near the highway 17 mile marker.
