Hike the Okolehau Trail, which begins at the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge and explore the Ha’ena caves on the way to Ke’e Beach.?Lumahai Beach is where Mitzi Gaynor "washed that man right out of my hair" in the film, “South Pacific.” Saturday offers and farmers market and on Sunday, Hawaiian hymns are performed at Waioli Huiia Church. After a busy day of exploration, kick back, relax, and watch a luminous sunset over Hanalei Bay.
