Planning on going to Kauai for the first time in November for our 10th anniversary, and this is the one difficult thing I want to do. I appreciated the longer look at what the hike is like at each step. Can't wait!

Thank you for taking us along on the hike! Stunning waterfall at the end!

What a gorgeous and breathtaking adventure!!! Congrats and thanks for taking us along!!!

I am in awe of that beauty...thank you for sharing.

Awesome! So beautiful!

Thank you for sharing this video calikim.

Been there , done that. Views were great in the video

Camera Guy deserves a raise, awesome shots.

Won't be able to do this hike on our trip next week as the road in is now blocked due to the recent flooding, so this video will have to do. Thanks for posting. Peace to all those in Kauai affected.

I can’t believe I missed this video. I was trying to remember when you had come to Hawaii and found this. I absolutely love the NaPali Coast. I have hiked the trail to Hanakapiai, and loved it. However, I have kayaked to Kalalau Beach 20 times. It is my favorite vacation spot. You would love it!

Beautiful to watch, I can only imagine how incredible of an experience this was for you. Thank you for sharing, Kim! Your videos never disappoint. :)

Great memories. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful and very strenuous. I could never make it at my age so thank you guys for sharing the beauty of the islands. Will pass on to my Facebook friends

Wow I can't believe you wore your phone on your arm like that. I would be so afade I would fall and break it. Thank so much for sharing this video! Those views are amazing!!! Lol now 4 miles back I think that was quite a hike.

Just a quick Hello! from Berlin! Thanks for these amazing views which I'll take with me now when I go to sleep. Just wanted to let you know that your videos are also being very much appreciated on the other side of the world.... where the summer didn't do us many favors up here in the north so I wasn't able to harvest any tomatos on my balcony. Envy you for your nice Californian climate. Take care!

Brought back great memories of taking that hike 30 years ago. Video was beautifully done. Well worth the hike to reach the falls. Thanks for the video.

Amazing you guys!!! Thanks so much for taking us alongside and doing all the hard hiking :) Watched it on the big screen and it was simply breathtaking!!! CG, when we getting a feature length video from you, bet it would be amazing!!!

We've never been to Hawaii, but the beauty of it that was shared in your video makes us want to go. Sometimes challenging times lead to great rewards:), Hiking the rocky, hilly trail, to find the beautiful falls! Take care, look forward to seeing more garden videos soon. Blessings!

Thank you so much for this gift!...

Beautifuuuuul!!!

that was amazing. new bucket list item.

Wow it's so awesome how you posted this video and just yesterday I was saying how I would love to go to Hawaii it's more beautiful than i thought thank you thank you and God bless 😇😘

Hey guys, thank you for this! This is going on my bucket list for sure.

Great video!

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Maybe one day I will have the pleasure of seeing this spectacular view up close.

This video got me reminiscing about the time I hiked the same path you guys took. Love the view. The waterfall was worth the hike. For people who haven’t been to this trail, please bring lots of water. I say at least 3 liters because there is no running water unless you have a water filter with you.

Hawaii has so much beauty to offer. So gorgeous. Enjoy. Thank you Kim for sharing such beautiful scenery. :)

Its so beautiful, enjoy guys God bless you!!!

Did the 11 mile hike years ago. It is amazing.

Hei sweet channel ☺ Keep it up!

kim what a bountiful place its just breath taking I can really see how it would wear you out I would do ok until I got to the half way point and then you would have to carry me the rest of the way well I hope you had a wonderfull time

Great video.. but the flower you were smelling is ginger. It grows wild, I'm not sure if you can eat the bulb root, but it is beautiful... a perfect delicate flower, sweet scented, and used for leis! What a great way to take a break and smell the flowers!

Thank you for your video. We were there about 2 weeks ago and did not make it to the waterfall. It was a rainy day and the trail was slippery and they were expecting flooding. We went close to 2 miles. We are newbies. At least I know what to expect next time. The vistas were beautiful and I’m glad we got to see them!

I made that hike in 1995. It was absolutely amazing!!! Way less traffic back then. Tried to make the hike again in 2015 but trail was closed due to hurricanes dropping so much rain. Talked the Park Ranger into letting us climb to the hat graveyard and back down. Going back this December, fingers crossed I will be able to make it back to the falls!!

Callie Kim awesome video beautiful views the waterfall amazing. me I'm still working on that compost pile maybe I just need some Hands-On training LOL okie dokie let me get back to packing Irma's posed to be here Monday 12 and my prayers go out to the Floridians and Georgia me and Carolina we are bracing for it all right, keep up the good videos and you are awesome to take care

I watch your video before i go to Kalalau trail and it realy help me to find if i am able to do it! I went there january 2018 and this is the best trip of my life! The vidéo is professionnal , thank you . sorry for my poor english my first language is french :)

Thanks for sharing! Well done! My Family, wife and 2 kids, ages 12 and 15 did this hike in 2002, but have not been back since. I understand they are building a walking bridge over the Hanakappi'ai Creek now and you also did not mention that you need to get a permit just to reach the trailhead ahead of time now!

Oh so beautiful. Merely view ing it through your camera l ens , I felt as exhilarated as you both did. Wow gosh. Thanks for sharing.I hope you've rested from the hike.

That was just unreal!!!!! That water is beyond imagination! I dream of going to Hawaii! That's so awesome you guys got to go there!😍😍😍

Aloha ❤️ So glad you guys are out exploring the island. Stay safe and safe travels. 🏝

Awww I've been there! So fun- take me back!!

Absolutely beautiful! Hiked to swim in a waterfall during our stay in Maui! Haven't been to Kauai yet! Looks like I must go!! 💚💚

My dream is to go to Hawaii. For many years I have pined for a trip. So I have to thank you so very much for sharing some of your Hawaii adventure. Watching your joy and the incredible beauty has lifted my spirits and made me sure I will go some day.Thank you!

I did the Hanakapi"ai Beach trail in 1980. I hardy remember the steep parts but I remember almost losing my camera gear with a big wave. Loved Kauai-very few people then. Camped at Ke-e Beach. All that was there then was a small take out food trailer, washrooms and a place to set up a few tents. I remember getting up in the night to use the washroom and my tent was surrounded by big toads. I think I stepped on one.

Love doing this hike every time we are out in Kauai! Note for anyone going out (sorry if I missed this in the video) but on the Hanakapiai falls trail keep on the lookout for any pink ribbons or hazardous crossing signs! Sometimes it's easy to get lost or go down a short path to a dead end. So anytime you see pink ribbons you're on the right path!

Aloha! My husband is from Kauai, and he’s planning on taking me on that hike to the Hanakapiai Falls. I watched your video and I’m even more excited to go! The flower you mentioned as a plumeria is actually a white ginger!

Looks beautiful! Heading to Kauai in November, getting excited for sure.

Hi guys! I would be going crazy trying to collect seeds and cuttings..haha....super cool☺

CaliKim, beautiful Trip! Thanks for sharing! What kind of wristband are you wearing? That is such an awesome idea for your phone...especially when gardening! I keep mine in my bucket or other places and I always loose it.

That was just beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!😊

Dang Kim didn't even break a sweat! 🤼‍♀️

Hi. Lovely video. How are the first 2 miles of the hike ? I’m going in November with my parents of 65 and 70 years of age. Is it worth going to falls or just first 2 miles and back ?

Mahalo for sharing, expensive state to live!

Do they have an elevator?? For the elderly haha !? We seen a lot of falls in Oregon and of course Niagara and never had to hike that rough but if your still up to it ,, well worth it ...thanks for letting us go with you guys .

haha just thought of this.. Kala Lua as you pronounce it means Money pit in Hawaiian Kalalau on the other hand can be translated as rich leaf or something to that effect..

hehehe hadda laugh sister... nobody clobbers the Hawaiian language quite like you do... but I'm glad you got to go see this place... yer plumaria was actually ginger . I used to go walking in here in the 60,s just took a blanket and a knife and swim shorts... stayed for weeks at a time .. now you didnt think that was a pineapple up in that tree did you? be honest :) they have a ginger flower back in there you can wash up with .. it foams like shampoo for real ... and smells great!.. lots of other stuff too . I guess they gotta have all those signs .. kinda ugly though... looks like alot of people go in there now ... I used to hide if there was somebody on the trail or on the beach.. I think in all the times i went in there I only came across other people twice. those were the days.. I used to load up on coffee, awa root, taro, salt, and other stuff, always came out with more than i brought in and a few pounds heavier than when i went in :) I got dysentery once in there and just made it to wilcox in time. anyway... thanks for making this video. If you ever decide to take up a foreign language ..study Hawaiian .. its fun and gives you a real good feeling.

awe thanks so much for sharing this. I reshared this on face book. I loved it! I really would love to do this with my family. Do you have any tips and suggestions on how to go about this adventure? you have inspired me. I have a family of seven and most of our vacations are visits to other family we have across the country but I would love to have this experience with them.

Awesome, what camera rig did he shoot this with? A gimbal? Nice and steady.

🎼♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵♩🎶♩♩🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶♩♩♩♩♩ Superb !!!!,

Aloha Kim ! WELCOME HOME the Islands ALWAYS brings one back .......... ;) Girl that's not plumeria, ginger and not the edible kind of ginger so don't eat the roots.

A nail biter! Im a chicken, but it was breathtaking!

Aside from mispronouncing every word (understandable) nice video. It should be known by all that hanakapia’i beach it one of the deadliest beaches in Hawaii. I have personally pulled 2 people in, who would most likely have drowned. In winter months or any day with large surf stay on shore. Just a friendly warning from a local boy.

☺😊👍👌💐💐💐💐💐

She should really learn to pronounce the Hawaiian names of the trail, the beaches, etc. Great job filming!

Kalalau, not kalalua...your welcome

Hey Calikim, that's NOT plumeria flower you so dramatically smelled. It is Hawaiian yellow ginger. ☹️

Learn how to say the correct names!
