BEST OF THE BEST BEACH

SACRED, JAW-DROPPING BEAUTY FROM AFAR

Many would argue that this is the most stunning, pristine beach in the world. However, because it is almost impossible to reach, it remains completely untouched, and it should stay that way, as it is sacred land and setting foot here can be life-threatening; swimming is the only option. Tucked away on the world-renowned Na Pali Coast, this Jurassic-like wonderland is secluded, unspoiled, and the epitome of natural beauty. Two small sandy coves lie nestled against 1,200-foot sea cliffs, separated by the striking Honopu Arch landmark. Landing watercraft on the beach is not allowed, and helicopters are also prohibited. Thus, the best and most respectful way to appreciate this 'Best of The Best' beach is from afar, either from a boat afar in the water or by helicopter.

S "Strap on your snorkel and fins because the only way to reach this remote beach is to swim there. But have no doubt, the moment you touch the warm sands of this stunning tropical oasis, you’ll know it was well worth the extra effort."

THE PERFECT DAY AT Honopu Beach



The breathtaking Na Pali Coast can be visited all year round, but we recommend going during the dry season which is from April to November. Rain may make it difficult to access certain areas along the coast and trails, and the ocean is calmer during the dry season. If you plan on swimming to Honopu beach from the neighboring beaches, it is only possible during the summer months, at low tide and before the winds pick up. Alternatively, you can swim from a cruise boat with the help and guidance of the captain, but you must be an experienced ocean swimmer.
