Well I pulled the trigger for another trip to Hawaii. The plan, paddle the Na Pali Coast in packrafts to Kalalau beach (6 miles) and backpack back (11 miles). It takes 3 days so you’ll prob want to spend a few days exploring Kauai before or after the trip. If you’ve never been, it’s a must see, and the Kalalau/ Na Pali coast, simply stunning. Meet Ke’e Beach 8AM on Thurs July 28th, return Sat 30th.

Another option is to rent kayaks and paddle the coast camping at Kalalau and Milolli, http://www.alohafrom808.com/2013/08/kayaking-the-na-pali-coast-pt-1-of-4/ .
Note, if the surf is up we won’t be able to paddle so it’ll convert to just a backpacking trip.
Also, can’t delay in booking the Kalalau permit, need to get this done 6+ months out. Likewise for the good/ inexpensive condos, check out VRBO and SeaLodge.
