The Hiking HI

Spreading the aloha one hike at a time!

KOKO CRATER RIM LOOP HIKE

Take the scenic route on this fun and (somewhat) sketchy scramble around this volcanic tuff cone. Watch out for the cacti!

KULEPEAMOA LOOP TRAIL

Lesser known ridge which provides classic leeward views and bit of Ko'olau traverse hiking.

KALAUAO FALLS via AIEA LOOP TRAIL

An authentic Oahu waterfall experience, a steep and slippery descent into the valley will reward you with this medium-sized beauty.

KOKO CRATER ARCH

A short hike on the exterior of volcanic crater to this cool-looking rock arch, with beautiful sights of the coast. A nice quick hiking fix.

MANOA MIDDLE RIDGE

Upper intermediate ridge near Honolulu, with 360 degree summit views on a clear day. Connect it to Mount Olympus for some KST traverse fun.

PU'U PIA

Short shaded hike through beautiful Koa trees that leads to a pleasant lookout. Hike it during guava season for an even sweeter experience.

TRIPLER RIDGE

Low-trafficked Ko'olau finger ridge with beautiful 360 summit views on a clear day. As a bonus, take the KST to the iconic haiku stairs.

UPPER MANOA FALLS

Escape from the tourists with this short, but tricky, climb to the upper falls where you can bask in this small pool and soak in the views.
