Explore Hanalei, Hawaii, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hanalei, Hawaii. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Hawaii or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Hanalei.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Hanalei carries the weight of the Pacific Ocean against its shoreline, where the salt-heavy air clings to the broad, green leaves of tropical flora. It lies 13.6 miles west-northwest of Kapaa, HI (from Kapaa, HI: bearing 303°T), and is situated 6.2 miles west of Kilauea. Waiʻoli Stream threads through the low-lying plains, its freshwater currents meeting the tides at the edge of Waoli Beach Park, where the sand shifts under the constant, rhythmic pulse of the surf. Behind the coastal flats, the land rises sharply toward the shadowed flanks of the Lāʻau Ridge, a jagged horizon that serves as a permanent, verdant curtain against the sky. The light here in the late afternoon possesses a peculiar, liquid quality, turning the clouds a bruised violet as they drift toward the distant, unseen heights of the Haleleʻa Forest Reserve.
History in Hanalei remains tethered to the slow, deliberate cultivation of the soil, visible in the flooded taro lo'i that mirror the sky and anchor the valley floor. While the ghosts of older agricultural cycles linger, the modern economy finds its footing in a quiet commerce that respects the deliberate pace of the tides and the seasonal rains pouring from the direction of Waioli Valley. Travelers often seek out the distant, mist-shrouded descent of Limahuli Falls or test their endurance on the rugged Hanāpīʻai Falls Trail, yet the character of the place is defined more by the internal stillness of those who dwell between the mountains and the sea. Even the occasional sight of Mokuʻaeʻae resting on the horizon does little to disturb the local sense of kuleana, a quiet stewardship that persists regardless of the changing currents.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
