Kaanapali is a haven for humpback whales, holidaymakers and thrill seekers ready to take a big dive.

Kaanapali Beach is more than four kilometres long and is fully tailored to the tourist experience. High-end hotels, luxury condos and hundreds of shops and restaurants line the shore. You’ll find all you need for water sports or simply relaxing. The centre point of Kaanapali is Black Rock, a jagged outcrop from which, every afternoon at sunset, a local warrior dives. To see that cliff-dive (along with its torch-lighting ceremony) is alone worth the trip – and something which brave tourists are invited to try.
