The Na Pali Coast a Unique Coastline

“Na Pali” in the Hawaiian language simply means “The Cliffs”. It is easy to see why when you get here, as there are more cliffs from sea level to 4,000 feet above than one can count. This makes for a very dramatic coastline that is perfect for photographers, adventure seekers, and anyone who likes to marvel at our planet’s beauty.

This 17-mile stretch of coast goes along the northwest border of Kauai from Ke’e beach in the north to Polihale in the south. Along that way you see the landscape change from a thick jungle canopy in the north to a dry and sparsely vegetated red-dirt scene in the south.

Films made at Kauai's Na pali Coast

Hollywood has taken notice here – there are many films that have showcased the Na Pali coast on the silver screen. Most recently was the film “Jurassic World”, with many others such as “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “King Kong” having been filmed here.
