Located on the North Shore of island of Kauai where the Hanalei river meets the sea,
the humble village of Hanalei with its population of 478 is shrouded with pop legend and notarity.
So striking is the natural beauty of the area, that it can be recalled by millions as it was utilized as the backdrop for the filming of the popular 1958 musical "South Seas". The popular cartoon "Lilo & Stitch" is purported to base its locale on the village as well.

      Today Hanalei is the destination of choice for those who wish to experience the island of Kauai
the way the locals do. With its breathtaking sunsets and looming cliffs which are said to resemble the profile of a dragon,
Hanalei offers scenery rivaled by few locations in the world. Private cottages with the finest of amenities can be afforded locally
at the near by "Hale Makai Cottages". Providing for an experience that trancends the typical tourist industry
found in the more widely known commercial accomodations. For more information visit the Kauai Recreational Guide
