Bali Hai Sunset

Bali Hai sits amongst majestic twilight hues that cascade across the sky and reflect in the waters of the shallow reef at Tunnels Beach. Bali Hai or Makana Mountain, which means a reward or “gift from heaven” in the Hawaiian language, is a part of a National Tropical Botanical Garden at the beginning of the Na Pali Coast on the north shore of Kauai. The name Bali Hai comes from the 1958 film “South Pacific” in which the pyramid-shaped Makana represented a mystical distant island by that name.
