Permits

The trip descriptions in this book include information about what permits you need (if any) and to whom you should apply for them. All wilderness camping trips require permits. Arrange for them well in advance if possible—at least one and a half months, longer for Na Pali Coast (Kalalau Trail) permits—to avoid disappointment.

State Parks

You can apply for Division of State Parks permits in advance by mail. Your application must be accompanied by a photocopy of acceptable identification (such as a driver’s license) for each person 18 years old or older. The Division of State Parks is at:

Department of Land and Natural Resources

Division of State Parks, Kauai District

3060 Eiwa Street, Room 306

Lihue, Kauai, HI 96766

(808) 274-3444

If you need to see them in person, Eiwa Street branches off of Rice Street, the main thoroughfare of Lihue. The counters for the Division of State Parks and the Division of Forestry and Wildlife are next to each other in Room 306, but they act independently. You should address inquiries to each separately.

Division of Forestry and Wildlife

You may also apply for Division of Forestry and Wildlife permits in advance by mail; they do not require identification. The Division of Forestry and Wildlife is at:

Department of Land and Natural Resources

Division of Forestry and Wildlife, Kauai District

3060 Eiwa Street, Room 306

Lihue, Kauai, HI 96766

(808) 245-3433

See also the note on actually going into Lihue to see them in person in the paragraph above.

If you put off getting agency permits until you get to Kauai, you will have to go into Lihue to get them.
