Fantastic Views All Along the Way
It’s a steep hike up and down. There aren’t a lot of places with shelter, however, the atmosphere is relaxed and allows for taking breaks if you need them. Would not recommend for those who need to be pushed with a wheelchair- it’s paved, but would be very challenging to navigate due to the steep slope.
Beatuiful Hike
Fabulous! Had not done this hike before. This was my 5th visit to Oahu and I'm so GLAD we hiked to Makapu'u Point and Lighthouse. The trail is paved and well-maintained so makes for a great hike. I will do this again! We saw more whales on this hike than we did on 2 other whale-watching tours. Loved it!
Great Hike! Amazing views!
This was a fun hike! The newly paved roads make it a smooth walk. Parking gets crazy so get there early. Once you get to the top, the views are spectacular! We even got to see some whales out in the distance due to the migration season. Plenty of great spots to stop and take in the views and snap some pics.
Good value
Worth the money for a shuttle transport
Great service
We had originally booked early tour that day but due to numbers we rescheduled to next one. On way out the tour guide was not commenting on any of the scenery, which we thought odd. The time allow is heaps for anyone walking tho we had heaps wind that day. Going back our guide was much more talkative so enjoyed this part back to our hotel.
