The rest of the island must be explored by foot, bike, or helicopter. This makes it very easy to get off the beaten path and many travelers seeking unconventional experiences come to Kauai just for that reason.
Experienced hikers can trek into the Napali Coast along the Kalalau Trail. Most people break the hike up into two days because it can be an arduous task to complete in one day. Still others just hike until they feel satisfied, then return to the beginning of the trail. The island is filled with mana (spiritual power) and whether you explore it on foot or by car, you will feel its energy.
