Honolulu Trip Overview
Start your morning off right with a sunrise hike on the East Side of Oahu!
Choose between hiking up the challenging “Koko Head Crater” or the moderate “Makapu’u Lighthouse Trail”. After you complete your hike, we will stop by the Halona Blowhole and Sandy Beach for some photo opportunities before taking you back to Waikiki.
Option1: Koko Head Crater
If you are looking for a challenging hike with breathtaking panoramic views, then Koko head is the best hike for you! This hike is often compared to a “Stair Master”, with over 1,000 steps to reach the top. At the top of this hike, you will be rewarded with spectacular views of landmarks such as Hanauma bay and the coastline leading to Diamond Head.
Option2: Makapu’u Lighthouse Trail
This is a paved 2.5 mile hike for all ages. Between November and May, this trail is an excellent place to view migrating humpback whales. On a clear day, you may even see the neighboring islands of Molokai and Lanai!
