Spreading the aloha one hike at a time!

KEA'AU MIDDLE RIDGE

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!

Mar 26

KAWIWI to KAMAILE'UNU to KNIFE'S EDGE RIDGE

A one way trek on seldom trafficked ridges filled with gnarly free climbs, narrow and crumbly rock and serious dropoffs. This is extreme.

PU'U O HULU

Nicknamed "pink pillbox hike," this popular west-side hike is a great bang for your buck with epic views in a relatively easy hike.

Mar 25

PU'U HELEAKALA

Ungraded and shadeless ridge in western Oahu that terminates at an overlook of a pyramid shaped neighbor ridge. A hot and quick calf burner.

Mar 18

UPPER MAKUA CAVE

Short scrambly hike to a natural "cave" that creates a framed view of the western coastline. Make sure to bring that wide angle lens!

Jan 28

BOLOHEAD RIDGE

At alternative route to Oahu's highest peak. Narrow ridges, sketchy free climbs, and crumbly rock make this one of Oahu's most extreme hikes

MOUNT KA'ALA: THE HIGHEST PEAK ON OAHU

A grueling 7+ mile hike/scramble with over 3500 feet of elevation gain is what it takes to reach Oahu's highest peak. Worth it? Definitely.
