Hanalei Bay

Hanalei Bay is an ocean playground. Locally referred to simply as 'the bay', the two-mile long stretch of sand offers loads of activities including surfing, stand up paddling (SUP), kite surfing, wind surfing, ocean and river kayaking, sailing, swimming and jogging. You can do any of these activites while you're here.

Access to the beach is only seconds from your house, so treat the ocean as your back yard and hang out there all day.

For surfing, Hanalei has a wave for everyone. Expirienced surfers will love the long, right-handed point of the bay, while beginners can enjoy a number of ideal, sand-bottomed beginner breaks

Hanalei Town

Your home at Surf N Sol is the beachside surf town of Hanalei. It's the ultimate setting for your week-long vacation. This is a place where everyone has a board on their car ready at any moment to jump in the water if the waves are good.

Hanalei and it's taro fields are nestled in the valley of Hanalei between the crescent-shaped bay and the lush green, waterfall-covered cliffs of the Napali Coast. It truly is a magnificent place; it's like a garden and surfing paradise.

The center of Hanalei town, just a few minutes walk from your house, has many quality restaurants, island boutiques, and mellow surf shops. We're here to give you suggestions on where to go for great local dining, nightlife or a surf board.

Hanalei River begins deep in Hanalei Valley winding through the taro fields, past town and into the ocean at Black Pot Beach Park. Many people enjoy kayaking or stand up paddling the senic river. The valley is designated a national wildlife refuge, so keep your eye out for Hawaiian geese, the NeNe and other rare species. Also if you're lucky, you may spot the herd of water buffalo that live in the marsh of the river.
