Teufelchen New
June 6, 2022, Im Haena State Park auf dem Kalalau Trail zum Hanakapi’ai Beach - die herrliche Na Pali Küste

The beautiful Na Pali Coast of north Kauai, with its verdant cliffs and jungle beyond, was one of the backdrops for Jurassic Park. You can experience this up close on the Kalalau Trail to Hanakapi'ai Beach. Everything is wild, rugged and yet beautiful. On the dream beach Hanakapi'ai Beach in this wilderness, which can be reached after crossing a river, the waves are already 2m high on normal days and there are strong currents. Therefore, one must be extremely careful in the ocean and stay in shallow water.
