About the Hanalei Valley Lookout
The Hanalei Valley Lookout, located along Kuhio Highway in Princeville, Hawaii, offers visitors a glimpse of the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge, which is closed to the public to protect endangered and threatened bird species. Interpretive signage at the overlook provides information on the wildlife and management of the refuge. Hikers can access the Okolehao trailhead by driving through the refuge on Ohaiki Road, but parking is limited and drivers are urged to be cautious of wildlife crossing the road. Traditional kalo farming practices in the Hanalei Valley have helped maintain waterbird feeding and nesting areas in conjunction with Service-managed wetlands. Established in 1972, the 917-acre refuge is the oldest of Kaua‘i's three refuges and is home to endangered species such as the Hawaiian duck, coot, moorhen, stilt, and goose. Visitors may also meet Solo, a conservation dog trained to sniff out duck carcasses infected by Avian botulism type C to prevent outbreaks at the refuge. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service works with partners to conserve and protect the wildlife and habitats of the refuge for the benefit of the American people.

Reviews of Hanalei Valley Lookout
"Absolutely gorgeous view. Definitely worth stopping and enjoying the scenery. Looks almost unreal."
"Easily accessible, right by a busy road. I stopped a few times on my way to Hanalei and I always got the best pictures in the morning, before clouds moved-in in the afternoon."
"Beautiful views of the farm land valley below with beautiful mountain scenery and a waterfall high on the mountain top in the background. Not a lot of parking, close to a relatively busy road, but absolutely worth stopping to take in the gorgeous views."
"It is a breathtaking landscape which I cannot recommend highly enough. It certainly is a moment to pause and allow yourself to take in this stunning natural beauty. It is a very popular point offering sweeping, panoramic views of the surrounding valley and lush hillsides. If ever you find yourself fortunate enough to be in Kauai, this too is a place you simply must visit. LOVED IT!"
"Terrific views of the Hanapepe valley below. Stopped there twice and never encountered any crowds. Gotta see this place both before and after a rain, as the views were totally different after rain with multiple waterfalls forming outta nowhere."
