Hanalei Colony guests are encouraged to relax and enjoy the surrounding area, known for its natural beauty, tranquil ambiance, and sheer romance. Sightseeing, cultural and sports opportunities abound. Three ancient caves, created from lava tubes, are easily located from the two-lane highway heading towards the end of the road, and the remains of heiau (ancient places of worship) are scattered throughout the area, spawning many tales of Hawaiian legends and lore. Hiking trails for beginners to advanced adventurers are nearby, including the 11-mile Kalalau Trail along the Napali coastline.
The beaches in Haena are incomparable, offering swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and sunbathing. Ocean sports such as sailing, scuba diving, surfing, windsurfing, and kayaking are just a few sandy steps away, although during the winter months beachgoers might have to share the ocean with the humpback whales who frolic in the warm waters offshore. Championship golf, horseback riding, and tennis, as well as a host of shopping and dining options, are all within a short drive of the resort.
Hanalei Colony Resort is independently owned and managed. For reservations or information, call toll-free from Hawaii, the U.S. mainland and Canada, 1-800-628-3004. Visit the hotel's website at www.hcr.com or email aloha@hcr.com.
