Secure your Hāʻena State Park permit 30 days out or you aren't getting in. Most people just hike the first two miles to Hanakāpīʻai Beach—expect slippery red mud and serious elevation. If your legs are cooked, the Zodiac raft expeditions are the move; you'll see the 4,000-foot spires and sea caves from the water without the brutal incline. Skip the full 22-mile trek unless you're a literal pro. Bring electrolytes and actual hiking boots.
