There are two Hawaiian translations of Hanalei that are generally accepted. “Crescent Bay”, which is easily recognizable from the photo image above. The other translation is “lei making”, which experts debate could have been derived from the shape of the bay or from the ample supply of fragrant flowers and ferns available to lei makers in the mountains to the west of the town.
