I have personally been all the way to the back wall. #1 you best be in incredible shape and start well before the sun comes up #2 You MUST have a 4WD vehicle and sometimes water crossings will prevent you from access #3 There are many trails that are used for hunting and WONT lead you to the back wall so make sure you stay as close to the river as possible. #4 Your entire body will be soaking wet and muddy within the first 1/2 mile and will remain that way the entire rest of the day. #5 there are many places where if you fall or make a mistake you WILL DIE #6 This is NOT a hike and requires you to be bent over on all 4’s frequently... #7 there are basic instructions in the “Kauai revealed” book but sometimes can be hard to follow, again stick close to the river and don’t be fooled by marked hunting trails #8 if you are moving at a very fast pace you can expect to make it up in 4-5 hours, but remember you have to go all the way back down AND drive out safely. #9 If you do get injured or stuck there will be no help for DAYS... there is no access via helicopter and the 4WD trail can get blocked by fallen trees or flooded rivers. #10 The hike WILL be the most adventurous thing you ever done in your life and is nothing like youve ever seen... with 3 thousand foot walls surrounding you it really makes you appreciate the vastness of nature. The Blue Hole is NOT a real destination and is NOT worth all the effort just to go there and turn back... The back wall IS however worth it and would a once in a lifetime experience. (Use any of these steps at your own risk, you most likely will be injured and be extremely fatigued... you may also have the best nights rest of your life following the adventure)

I just did this hike yesterday. Grueling and amazing hike. I cannot believe you guys walked all the way from and back to the arboretum! That is insane! I was fortunate to have rented a 4WD jeep. So I started the hike at the dam. While hiking on the way back, while I was glad I did it, I swore I’d never do it again. Now, a day later, I’d probably do it again. 😆 You guys are crazy for hiking back at night! I’d never do that. Started from the dam at 0745 Was at Guardian falls by 0930. Got to the back wall about 1130-1145. Finished the hike at 1530.

Only hike where I spent the following day in my bed. Crashed and burned face first into the stream bed three times. I about fell into the stream bed about 100 times. Pulled every muscle in my body trying to recover from the slippery lousy footing. Spotted one of those cliff faced waterfalls with no inlet above it ! A view like no other. Started walking from the J. P. gate at 8:00 AM. Was back at the truck at 8:00 PM.

Have seen this area via helicopter and wondered how anyone could possibly hike into it. Mad skills boys. My hat is off to you.

Kauai is one of those truly magical places where I don't have to do super crazy stuff like this in order to still have the time of my life, and yet when I see videos like this I find it so hard to not want to experience these adventures...

Incredible video. I live down the toad from the parking lot to the blue hole. I have never made the time to go. This really inspired me to go

amazing. Inspiring, movie quality videos. Thank You.

I’ve never been too far past the JP gate but there is a road that will take you to the gate and you can park at the gate area. Beyond that you’re on your own. Great video !

Freaking insane! Very very awesome but I would legitimately fear for my life if I ever attempted this

Thank you for sharing this with us much appreciated. May ALYUHAUUHA The Heavenly Father keep you always

I’m gonna go watch your full video now but wowww you started your hike all the way from the arboretum. Damn u crazy! I once got stuck hiking at night. Yeah we timed this hike so wrong omg it was a nightmare. LOL that will never happen to me again that’s for sure. We didn’t have lights like you did. So one guy booked it back to our Jeep as soon as it started getting dark. Then we all had to whistle to each other and follow the whistles blindly! Lmao while sticking to a dry river bed because the river stones reflected a teeny tiny bit that we could just make out where we were standing. Ahhhhlol I’ll never forget it! That’s wasn’t here tho. That was on Lana’i where there aren’t any rivers. Duuude there was a huge chance you couldn’t gotten hit by flash floods. Over here is famous for that. Glad you made it!

Lets go! 🤙

Did we see the blue hole "thing"?

Hey man, I love the video! The blue hole is a special place. It's been calling me back ever since I left.....I uploaded a video on my page on the hike as well. Love your content and I subscribed!

This hike almost killed me. It took 15 hours to do.

Great content 👍🏽

You can drive all the way past the Jurassic park gates.

That gravel road you walked along people usually drive on that Road to the top where the actual start of the hike is probably would’ve saved u a few hours need a 4x4 truck to make it tho

Ich war da :)

I used to ride my bike all the way to the river where it exits rhe canyon.

Growing up on Kauai, we never had this "blue hole." People take credit for the names they give which are unfounded. The do what they want which is typical. Whatever.

the Americans really made a good catch when they annexed the Hawaii islands

Lol. I haven't seen a title this clickbaity in a long time Running this route and even scrambling to Kawaikini from the blue hole are literally nothing compared to the actual hardest routes in the world. Ever heard of Puncak Jaya, Denali, Annapurna? Even Mount Blanc is harder than this
