Hanalei Bay

We are staying at the 1 hotel and want to check out the restaurants at Hanalei Bay Resort. Is there a walking path from our hotel to the HBR?

Great question! Based on recent guest reports and local maps, yes — there is a walking path that connects 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay to Hanalei Bay Resort (HBR), but there are a few things to know.

What the Path Is Like

According to TripAdvisor users, from the pool / beach area of 1 Hotel (specifically Puʻu Poa Beach), there is a paved uphill path that leads up to HBR.

It’s described as “a bit steep” going up from 1 Hotel to HBR, but easier to walk downhill from HBR back to 1 Hotel.

Other Useful Notes

  • On Google Maps (per guest advice), you can see a curved walkway leading from the 1 Hotel area, past tennis courts, and up to HBR’s buildings.
  • There was mention of a phone station near the start of the path at 1 Hotel, which in the past was used to call HBR’s golf cart shuttle for a ride up to the resort or restaurant.
  • Because of the incline, going up may be a brisk walk.

Recommendation

If you’re planning to walk to HBR for dinner or drinks, be prepared for a little hike uphill. If that’s a concern, you might call HBR’s shuttle / golf cart service (via the phone by the path) to ride up instead. Coming back down is much easier by foot.

Hope this helps — enjoy your time on Kauaʻi and your meal at HBR!
