Beautiful view from the beach but not very clean. Recommend to look at the beach from the Grant Hyatt resort instead for a more comfortable and luxurious experienceFull review by Radhika A

A nice hiking trail, and rugged cliffs, made for some nice photos. A couple was getting married at the end of the beach. Restrooms and free parking.Full review by maitaimike2015

The car park is tiny, but there is plenty of parking along the Poipu road on the other side of the Hyatt resort, and a nice path from there to the beach. Then just walk along the beach, or the Hyatt's path (which is open to visitors) to the other end and join the coastal walk. Great views at either end of whales during Winter.
Hands down, Poipu Beach is a great place to snorkel. The water is clear and shallow and you'll likely see some turtles and perhaps even a sea lion resting on the beach.
Hi! A friend recommended a tour to Waimea Canyon with an older gentleman guide named Juan Lugo. She said he is a wonderful storyteller and is native to the island and its colorful folklore. I am trying to find which tour company he is with so I can book the trip with the fabulous guide, Juan Lugo. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you! Leslie Bride

I'm sorry I can't help you. We went as a hiking group from Vancouver Island and were self directed. I didn't notice any guided groups of hikers.
