Description

Sleeping Giant or Nounou is a beautiful mountain located in Kauai, one of the main Hawaiian Islands. Discover this unique mountain shaped like a giant on this unforgettable hike in Kauai. 

The trail will take us uphill on a climb of nearly 1,000 feet through lush vegetation until we reach the Giant’s chin, nose, and forehead. From there, we will continue on to an amazing waterfall, but first, we will stop for lunch at a local restaurant for a delicious meal. 

In total, the tour will take around 7 hours. We will walk on unpaved, steep, and sometimes muddy terrain. Therefore, a good fitness level is a must. Also, you should be ready for both sunshine and rain.

So if you are interested in exploring the beautiful Sleeping Giant mountain, send your request and book your place now. You won’t regret your decision.

This island offers many options to enjoy hiking. You can also join us on a great Napali Coast Cliff Top Hiking day!

Jeffrey did an excellent job taking us on a clifftop hike overlooking the Napali Coast. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and showed us many other sights during the tour. He is an experienced hiker and delivered on the type of hike we were looking for.
