The Lanikai Pillbox Hike (Kaʻiwa Ridge Trail) is a popular 0.8–1.8 mile round-trip hike in Oahu offering panoramic views of Lanikai Beach and the Mokulua Islands. Taking 1–2 hours, the moderate-difficulty trail features steep, rocky, and unshaded terrain, requiring sturdy footwear. The best time is sunrise. I feel this hike is NOT safe for children and pets. Steep drop offs.

If you’re looking for one of the best views in all of Oahu, look no further than Tantalus Lookout. From this lookout point, visitors can see stunning views of Honolulu and Diamond Head. The lookout point is also a great place to go for a hike or do some bird watching. It gets busy for sunset but, for me it is worth the crowd.
