Four men were airlifed from the Poomau Canyon Lookout Trail Sunday morning after their parents had reported them missing Saturday afternoon.
According to Kauai officials, Friday afternoon the group, two 18 year-olds and two 20 year-olds, told family members that they were headed to Kokee for a day hike.
Officials say the parents reported them missing on Saturday afternoon after the group had failed to return.
Rescue crews located all four men at about 7 p.m. Saturday night, but were unable to airlift them out due to darkness.
Officials say rescuers dropped down a supply kit with water, food and blankets and notified the group that they would return at daylight Sunday morning.
The men were airlifted out of the canyon around 6 a.m. on Sunday.
All four men were in good health and spirits and did not require medical treatment.
