Best Oahu Hikes

Experience two of Oahu most iconic hikes in one unforgettable adventure combining Diamond Head Crater and the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail. Begin with the Diamond Head Crater hike, a moderate paved trail leading to a seven hundred sixty foot summit. From the top, enjoy sweeping panoramic views of Waikiki, Honolulu, and the sparkling Pacific Ocean. The climb rewards you with incredible photo opportunities and a sense of accomplishment as you stand above the island’s famous coastline.

Continue your journey along the scenic Makapuu Lighthouse Trail on the windward coast. This paved path offers breathtaking views of turquoise waters, offshore islets, and the historic red roofed lighthouse built in nineteen zero nine. During the winter months from November through May, hikers may spot migrating humpback whales and seabirds offshore. Both trails are family friendly and suitable for nature lovers seeking stunning ocean vistas in a single morning outing. This combination hike is perfect for visitors who want to experience the best coastal scenery and natural beauty that Oahu has to offer.
