The Hiking HI

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

With fun scrambles, narrow ridges, and insane views, this ridge has all the traits of a great west side hike. Just watch out for cow manure!

This muddy hike has a bit of everything-- a bamboo forest, awesome valley views, and even a little waterfall. Don't forget your swimsuit!

Where the Ko'olaus begin (or end), trek through the northernmost portion of this iconic Oahu mountain range.

Popular intermediate trail with beautiful Cooke pine forest and great windward views. A perfect intro to Oahu's great ridge hiking.

Trek deep into Moanalua Valley, crossing streams and dodging mud, before a steep ridge ascent to an epic lookout. Cameras required.

Slow and steady wins this race. At 12 miles, this lengthy ridge is an endurance challenge, but worth it for those Ko'olau summit views.

Hike to one of Earth's 4 green sand beaches then leap off the United States' southernmost point. Hard to beat that adventure combo.

Advanced hike that summits 3 separate peaks of this standalone mauna. The challenge, danger, and insane views make this one of Oahu's best.

A classic Honolulu 2 tank adventure. The deep Sea Tiger wreck followed by a shallower swim along a drainage pipe turned reef.
