Haena

Haena occupies the final stretch of Kauai's North Shore, where the road ends, the crowds thin, and the Na Pali Coast begins. The Na Pali Coast, with its towering emerald cliffs, hidden sea caves, and impossibly blue water, begins where the pavement stops. Ke'e Beach, one of the most photographed spots on the island, marks the trailhead for the famous Kalalau Trail and offers some of the most dramatic ocean views in all of Hawaii. Tunnels Beach, just down the road, is celebrated for its exceptional snorkeling and its striking mountain backdrop. Development here is minimal by design, and the landscape is the entire point. Gather's vacation rentals in Haena are for travelers who want Kauai at its most elemental: raw, green, and gloriously remote.
