The Hiking HI

Spreading the aloha one hike at a time!

STAIRWAY TO HELL

The little known and far more grueling of Oahu's windward "stair" hikes. Sure it's not heaven, but the views are fire.

KAHEKILI RIDGE to MANAMANA

A waterfall, sharp and narrow ridges, rock scrambling and free climbing, and eye watering views. This loop is Oahu hiking at its best.

MAKAUA FALLS

A wet and slippery tramp up a dry(ish) stream bed to a large and secluded waterfall. A little bit of balance goes a long way on this one.

KAPALAMA TRAIL to PU'U LANIHULI

Low trafficked and overgrown ridge to this prominent Ko'olau summit. Hope for some clear weather, because the views up here are stellar.

KAMANAIKI RIDGE TRAIL

Little known ridge near Honolulu that leads to a pleasant lookout. And if you time it right you may even find some juicy guava!

MALEAKAHANA STATE PARK CAMPING

One of Hawaii's many state campgrounds. Roll out of your tent on to a beach to watch the sun rise over the Pacific. Hard to beat.

WAILUPE LOOP TRAIL

Some good views, a bit of KST traverse hiking, and a solid workout, this loop is great for those looking to explore a trail less travelled.

POINT PANIC SCUBA DIVING

Don't worry, there's nothing to "panic" about at this site. Expect to see some coral, fish, and maybe a honu on this Honolulu based dive.
