    Beautiful walk!

    I’m thoroughly glad that we elected to do this walk, as it was beautiful and pleasant. I am 6-months pregnant and despite my being very active I was reluctant to do any challenging hike; however, this 2-mile trek was ideal.

    Kapalua Coastal Trail - Worth The Trip!

    The trail is easy to find and not too difficult to walk as it is well managed. Parking is hard to find though! We started the hike around 10:00am, but I would go earlier next time. We had some stunning views and even had a...More

    Fun Surprise!

    We visited this trail one day after finding it in my guidebook (Fodor's Maui) and weren't expecting it to be much other than a little walking path. However this was awesome! It goes along multiple beaches and over a lava rock cliff which we mistakenly...More

    Last Day highlight

    We saved this to our last morning. We went about 7:00 before it gets crowded. High Tide. It was amazing. We saw amazing waves, water crashing into rocks, and whales. We were not disappointed. Great way to finish our stay.

    Beautiful walk-difficult parking

    This walk is a mix of bust near the resorts & beaches and more secluded as you reach the gravel trail. The lava rock formations are beautiful & the ocean view is fantastic. The path isn’t entirely flat, so it brought a mild challenge which...More

    Parking tip

    Just got back from the trail. Parking lots on both ends were full and so was the street. Drove around for about 20 minutes waiting for someone to leave. If you dont mind spending $10, pop into the Kapula Golf Club tennis court parking area...More

    The path along the cliff is at least 2-3 feet wide (1-2 person in width). It does not "hang" along the cliff so you do not get the feeling of falling off. The height of the cliffs are 100 feet or more. The pathway is... More

    Agree with the other answers. On another note, if you are expecting a hair raising walk along the edge of a cliff, it is not like that, the walk has something for everyone in the family.
