The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) has taken drastic steps following an outbreak of norovirus among hikers at Kalalau beach on the island of Kauai. To combat the disease, the state has closed the entire Kalalau Trail from Ke’e to Honopu.
Officials report at least 37 people who were hiking or camping at Kalalau beach reported the highly contagious illnesses. The illness can cause copious vomiting, fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. The Health Department recommends the area to remain closed until September 19th.
DLNR officers conducted a sweep of the area to clear out any remaining hikers and The Kalalau Trailhead to prevent reentry. Anyone trespassing during the closure can be arrested.
All comfort stations along the trail are being sanitized and a team from the Health Department is collecting water and soil samples. We will be sure to monitor this situation and update as more information becomes available.
Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Statement:
ENTIRE KALALAU SECTION OF THE NĀPALI COAST STATE WILDERNESS PARK NOW CLOSED
Testing of Water, Soil, and the Environment Underway
The DLNR Division of State Parks (DSP), in consultation with the Hawai‘i Dept. of Health (DOH), has elected to close the entire Kalalau Trail section, from Kē‘ē to Honopu in the Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park. DLNR and DOH are closely coordinating the situation in Kalalau and taking appropriate action to ensure public health and safety.
