Na Pali Coast State Park is one of the most special places in Hawai'i. Its natural beauty and mystique make it one of the most popular and heavily used wilderness areas in the State. The heavy demand for a limited number of camping permits has created the need for a special set of provisions regulating use of this park. These rules include:
- Day-use hiking permits are required to hike beyond Hanakapi'ai Valley (2 miles in along the Kalalau Trail).
- Camping permits may be applied for one year in advance. During peak demand periods (Memorial Day through Labor Day), one third of the camping permits for Kalalau and Miloli'i are issued no sooner than 28 days before the first day of camping. These permits must be obtained through the Kaua'i district office via walk-in applicants only on the first date of issuance. On the second day of issuance and thereafter, permits may be obtained from any district office. Camping fees for Na Pali Coast are $15 per person per night (Hawaii residents), $20 per person per night (non-residents).
- The maximum length of stay is 5 consecutive nights along the Kalalau Trail (no 2 consecutive nights may be spent at Hanakoa Valley).
