My favorite overlook was the Kalalau Lookout. It is amazing to look down into the valley and watch the clouds form and rise up the hillside. I didn't stop at all of the lookouts but there is some great scenery here.
Fantastic. Views of the Coast, go early the crowds converge at about 10:00 am. Excellent walk along the cliff edge is the best area for photos.
This is one of the most spectacular views in the Islands. It requires about an hour drive up Avery winding narrow road and is at the end of the road past Waimea Canyon lookouts.Our last two visits, including today were obscured by thick clouds, we saw nothing. However if you wait for weather to change anywhere on Kauai it will, and you will be rewarded with magnificent scenery, Ther is a rest room and picnic benches here.
We love the view and rush to the top each year. TIP: get there before 10:30a or you'll run into clouds. Make sure you don't just look out from the cement part. Head down the hill, better view!
Best chance for clear views and certainly less crowds is when you get on the road early in the day. Spectacular views!
The views from the lookout are just stunning, if you have a little energy you can do a hike along the ridge to get different perspective on the canyon.
Be sure to continue your visit to the canyon with a drive to this sight. It is a lovely view over the Napali Coast. You can picnic and we saw nene geese.
You could see it all, we did. I fell in love with the Kauai chickens. Go early is the best advice. About 9 or 10 am, you will see the crowds starting to make sightseeing a little harder. You can stay in the car the whole way, and yes, do go to the end as long as you are going. Beautiful! Bring a camera, good shoes, shorts and look like a tourist and have fun.
No access, but we spent about 10 minutes enjoying the view. Took a few photos, and were on our way. Ocean is such a beautiful color from where we stood.
It is a little bit of a drive up into the canyon to reach this lookout, but the views from here are spectacular. For those with limited mobility who cannot do some of the more rigorous hikes or helicopter tours, this is a nice way to view some of the beautiful Na Pali coast.
