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.

Reservations are required for all non-Hawaii residents. Diamond Head (Lē'ahi) is one of Hawaii's most iconic geological features and a significant natural, cultural, historical, and recreational resource. A trail leads visitors to the summit of this volcanic tuff cone & former fort with panoramic views.

The Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trailhead is the gateway to one of Oahu's most popular coastal hikes, located on the southeasternmost tip of the island along Kalanianaʻole Highway (Hwy 72). This completely paved, family-friendly trail takes you on a 2.5-mile round-trip journey to an elevation of roughly 500 feet, offering stunning, unobstructed views of the Windward Coast and the historic, red-roofed lighthouse.

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.
