Paved trail that ends at a lookout of a lighthouse and Oahu's windward coastline. Bonus adventure to tide pools and a pillbox also possible.

WAIPUILANI FALLS

Split flow waterfall visible after heavy rains. Bring a GPS and some patience as you will probably get lost a few times...

LAIE RIDGE

Lengthly, low-trafficked ridge gives you a uniquely beautiful perspective of windward and central Oahu. Long pants encouraged.

Mar 18

LAIE FALLS

Beautiful ridge hike through Cook pines and guava trees to this small waterfall and swimming hole. Don't forget your swimsuit.

PU'U OHULEHULE--NORTHWEST RIDGE

Strenuous, sketchy, and overgrown, but the incredible views of Kualoa Ranch and the windward coast make this challenging ridge worth it.

STAIRWAY TO HELL

The little known and far more grueling of Oahu's windward "stair" hikes. Sure it's not heaven, but the views are fire.
