The Hanalei Valley Lookout at Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge in Princeville, Hawaii (Kauai) is a roadside vista that features stunning views of the Hanalei Valley including taro fields surrounded by massive mountains with a 2,800-foot waterfall cascading down.
There is no hiking required, just a few steps to reach the lookout, but worth the time for a nice view. This location is also just one of two publicly-accessible places within the entire Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge and also the easiest to experience for the best payout.
