Monitor cancellations & book the Kalalau trail permit for me

Kalalau Valley - Kalalau Trail - Kalalau Camping Permit - GoKalalau

Do you know that our monitoring service ends up notifying around 86% of our customers? This is pretty good, however, only about 42% end up successfully buying a permit, and that's pretty bad.

Kalalau permits sell super fast so if you don't act right away after you get notified, it's likely you won't get the permit. Sometimes, these notifications might show up 2AM and you are sleeping, other times you are busy with something else and was not able to follow up. Anyways, there are many reasons why someone would not be able to book the permit even though we notified them. Due to that GoKalalau decided to act and help you with this new service.

Now you can upgrade your monitoring service and have the automatic booking! We listened to the community, what you were asking for, and created this new great feature that will simply your life! Instead us sending you a notification about a permit available, we simply go ahead and book it for you right away. No hassle, no rushing, no stress :) 

How does it work?

  • This operates similarly to our existing 90+ day booking service. You simply fill out a form with all the required permit information
  • Also provide a minimum number of nights and hikers you want in your party, along with the credit card information so the permit can be issued under your name (remember, Kalalau Permits are not transferrable and must be issued under the owner of the account with eHawaii)
  • At this point you are all set. Fingers crossed something will show up for you, and if it does, GoKalalau will be the first one to book it! 

How much are you charging for this service?

  • Our fee is $60.00 USD per hiker
  • If we don't find your permit we'll issue a partial refund to you. Our non-refundable fee is a total of $20.00 USD (in total, not per hiker)
  • In case we do find the permit, your credit card will be charged the permit costs from eHawaii. You can observe the expected eHawaii permit costs on this table in our website

DISCLAIMER 1: no refund on cancellations after the permit is successfully purchased on camping.ehawaii.gov. The permit will be available in your own profile on camping.ehawaii.gov. We'll also not refund our fee in case your credit card gets declined during the booking process.

DISCLAIMER 2: the Kalalau Trail is an experts only hike. Plan ahead and know what to expect. Do not attempt if you are not experienced.
