Mt. Olomana Trail (Three Peaks)
Hiking area
👍👍 Jan 2023 Olomana Ridge complete review!
Nutshell: This is a increasingly steep climb, a real leg burner workout to get to the top, but views are incredible if you can get past last 200 feet of exposure at end.
Parking: You need to walk 3/4 of a mile to get to the trailhead. Thats a fact. No closer...

Hanauma Bay Ridge Hike
Hiking area
👍 This hike is known to some as Kokohead Ridge Hike (always confused with Koko Crater Stairs). It is technically illegal and you could receive a ticket but I haven't heard of anyone receiving one in many years. If not for that, I'd give it 5 stars. It's a challenging hike with many ups and downs if...

A few up hills and down hills and climbing large rocks....

Mauʻumae Ridge Trail (Puʻu Lanipō)
Hiking area
👍 Mau’mae ridge is a great 6.2 mile roundtrip to the top (Kainawa’anui) and back. People call it the Lanipo hike, but actually Lanipo peak needs a little crossover to the south to be reached.
It is a great trail if you want a little bit more then just a “walk in the park”, and if you really want to el...

How to get there: From the blow hole carpark head around the corner towards Waikiki and then over the barrier and track your own way up to the ridge. Once on the ridge the path is clear to see so head on up to you get to the arch. Once at...
