Days off are always spent surfing, swimming, hiking, exploring or if I'm lucky all in the same day. This video highlights some of the parts of the Nu'alolo Trail in Koke'e.
The Nu'alolo Trail is a 3.8 mile hike that overlooks the Nu'alolo Valley and Beach with connecting ridge trails on the way. The valley is remarkable for its remains of taro growing terraces. For hundreds of years people lived in this remote valley. Nu`alolo Kai (beach) is an ancient Hawaiian fishing village along the Na Pali Coast, only accessible by boat with permits. This small land area is backed by sheer cliffs and was useful to Hawaiians because of its protected reefs. The area contains a collection of cultural and archaeological sites, which are being discovered to this day. Archaeological evidence suggests that Nu�alolo was continuously occupied for 800 years, from the 12th through the 20th centuries. Some of the structures at Nu�alolo Kai are among the most impressive along the Na Pali. Being one of the first sites in Hawaii to have been studied extensively by archeologists, surveys of Nu`alolo Kai reveal remnants of structures of impressive complexity and sophistication.
