The Hiking HI

Little known trail on windward Oahu with junctions to gems like "The Nipple," Sacred Falls, and the KST. A veteran hiker type of trail.

One of Oahu's most popular hikes. This short ridge takes you to historic lookouts that overlook Oahu's stunning windward coast.

Lengthly, low-trafficked ridge gives you a uniquely beautiful perspective of windward and central Oahu. Long pants encouraged.

Beautiful ridge hike through Cook pines and guava trees to this small waterfall and swimming hole. Don't forget your swimsuit.

Strenuous, sketchy, and overgrown, but the incredible views of Kualoa Ranch and the windward coast make this challenging ridge worth it.

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

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

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.
