Headwaters to Ocean section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
The natural beauty of Hawaii and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. Hanalei doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Headwaters to Ocean section is the only one. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Kapaa, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page.
Briefly about the general area: Summertime at Hanalei comes
with high temperatures in the 70's. Once the sun is down it descends down to the 50's. For the period of the winter this place gets highs in the 60's while Hanalei nighttime low temperatures during the winter are in the 40's. On a wonderful day it's a great idea to spend the day
at Puu Poa Beach. Anini Beach is close to Hanalei if you're in a beach type of mood, and you don't must go far to enjoy Halelea Forest Reserve. Hanalei is a reasonably wet place regularly with much precipitation; the month with most of the rain is January; the driest of the months is June.
