We saw a home we were interested in renting on HomeAway.com and contacted the listed owner to see…read moreif it was available. They emailed us back outside of the website to let us know that it wasn't as listed, but that they have a similar property nearby that *was* available. They sent plenty of pictures and even the address so we could Google Map it, and Acacia was always incredibly responsive and helpful over email. What was a little off-putting was the fact that they required a credit card number up front to hold the reservation. Once again, this was all done over email - not through a certified website like HomeAway or AirBnB. We had to pay in full, in advance, using a cashier's check or money order. Plus the emails in Comic Sans.. well, we were booking housing quite at the last minute and didn't have any other options. I did see this Yelp page and contacted the one other reviewer - she had booked with this company but always via a website. It was just a little scary to be sending information like credit card numbers and a full payment without having a website as insurance. Well, it turned out to work out really well! They sent full directions and a description of WiFi & other information once the money order arrived. Our apartment was great (a 1BR/1BA; a kitchen w/ a fridge, toaster oven, microwave, & hotplate; dining area; plus an outdoor seating area). It was spacious, just a 10 minute drive west of Haneli, for just $80 a night. Great location (minus the fact that it was winter and quite rainy - our fault for planning a trip at the wrong time of year). I left my electric toothbrush charger in the apartment and emailed - they messaged back quickly, as always, to say that the owner did find it. They want to charge a $25 handling fee, PLUS shipping for a tiny little charger! I feel like that's an unreasonably high fee. I was quite disappointed. So I guess moral of the story is.. good for housing rental, but don't leave anything behind because they'll overcharge the heck out of you.

This house is fantastic, Acacia was so wonderful to work with and prompt with all our e-mails. We stayed here for 7 days and it was nothing short of relaxing and quiet. We fully enjoyed the wrap around deck, outdoor shower and being just steps to the beach. Most days its your own private beach! Our stay was a mix of hiking at Queens Bath, Waimea Canyon, Hanokopi Falls on the Kalalau trail and lots of swimming and snorkeling. Coming "home" to this beautiful house each day couldn't be better or more peaceful!! We recommend putting Sushi Girl on speed dial, a nice little gem close by to grab a quick bite if you want to eat in and have amazing food. So many wonderful things about this house, I highly recommend it for a peaceful remote get away. Mahalo

Na Pali Kayak led me on a 17-mile paddle from Hāʻena to Polihale that remains one of the coolest,…read moremost beautiful, and most exhilarating days of my life. I have been extraordinarily fortunate to see some remarkable places, and I can confidently put this experience near the very top. We met at the shop in Hanalei, loaded into a van, and drove toward the Hāʻena launch point just short of the main hiking entrance. Roughly 6 to 8 hours later, 7 guests and 2 guides had covered an extraordinary stretch of coast together and become a real crew along the way. Annie H. was one of our two guides and was absolutely awesome: warm, experienced, and naturally gifted at bringing a group together. She became the master of ceremonies, sharing stories about the area while keeping everyone in rhythm and making the day fun. Our other guide was a yoga teacher with quiet Laird Hamilton meets Navy SEAL energy, an expert swimmer who followed the group and projected total command of the water. The guests were an Israeli family of 4 headed next to Colorado for the 100-mile Leadville mountain bike race, two women from Switzerland, and me, traveling solo from New York City in my early 30s. Before I signed up, both the website and a call with the company made the requirements clear. They were candid about the physical demands, possible ocean intensity, and equipment needed to enjoy the experience safely, so everyone arrived prepared. This is expert ocean, even on a perfect day, and the power of the Pacific is obvious anywhere you look along this part of Kauaʻi. We were a fit and focused group, and our late July or early August day brought calm seas and full sunshine, though it was easy to envision this route getting gnarly if conditions turned or someone arrived unprepared. The defining image is teal water beneath enormous stone mountains covered in dense green vegetation, with literally zero development along the protected park coastline. If there is ever a place that teaches you to honor and respect the power of Mother Nature, this is one of them. Its power, scale, and purity are humbling, and the sacred charge of the land and nature is palpable. From a kayak, the coast feels immediate and immense; you are close enough to register every fold in the cliffs while moving entirely under your own power. Along the way, we paddled into a dramatic sea cave and continued beside towering cliffs that seemed to rise straight out of the Pacific. We stopped at Miloliʻi for sandwiches and a rest on an astonishing beach. I even caught a tiny nap in a little shelter before climbing back into the kayak for the final miles. The guides shared history and insight throughout the day while setting exactly the right pace and leading the group with knowledge and calm. Reaching Polihale delivered a real sense of accomplishment and another spectacular setting, complete with park bathrooms and a place to shower after a full day of salt and sun. On a clock face map of Kauaʻi, Polihale sits near 9 and Hanalei near 12. Since no road crosses the protected Na Pali Coast, our van had to travel counterclockwise around the island, a return of just under 70 miles that took about 2 hours. Everyone was tired, exhilarated, and genuinely bonded, and that long ride became part of the pleasure as we watched Kauaʻi pass outside the windows. Years later, I returned in March during a week of almost constant rain and took a helicopter over the Nā Pali Coast. Even after that gorgeous flight, the kayak journey remained far more dramatic and immersive because we had spent an entire day moving through the landscape at ocean level. My only regret is that I was low on funds and could not leave a larger tip; these were cool local people whose knowledge, positive energy, and love for the island shaped the entire day. This was a heady, organic, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone fit, prepared, and lucky enough to catch good conditions.
