| This coastal region was known as a central location for commerce between Hanalei, Waimea and Ni`ihau, as well as the western islands of the Hawaiian archipelago. Trade was done via canoe and various foot trails that rose up to 4,000 feet in some valleys. Traces of this lifestyle still remain today in the rock walls and terraces found in places along the Na Pali, like Nu`alolo Kai. Exploration of Nu`alolo is by permit only and accessible solely by boat. Visitors can discover restored archeological sites and snorkel the sheltered reef that once sustained the lives of the ancient Hawaiians. |
