Add hiking in Hawaiʻi to your bucket list and enjoy checking it off. With stunning waterfalls, active volcanoes, and lush rainforests, every trail offers something special. Lace up and choose your path, where the journey is just as memorable as the destination, and every step invites a new point of view.
On Oʻahu, the Lanikai Pillboxes hike is no pain and all gain. Enjoy incredible views of the clouds over the Koʻolau Mountains, the Mokulua islands and the town of Kailua below. Other amazing beginner hiking trails are Twin Falls North Shore (Maui), Mauna Loa Lookout (Hawaiʻi Island) and Wailua Falls (Kauaʻi).
Explore the silhouette of the giant who ate too much and fell asleep in the mountains at Sleeping Giant Trail on Kauaʻi. The giant’s chest is a great place to stop for lunch, but stay awake to see the breathtaking ridges, as your guide shares local trivia. For more intermediate scenic trails, visit: 'Īao Valley State Park (Maui), Maunawili Falls (O'ahu), and Kīlauea Iki Trail (Hawai'i Island).
Get up close (but not too close) to see burning lava glide down the Pūlama Pali, at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on the Hawai'i Island. Seasoned hikers can find other trails to conquer at: Kaupo Gap Trail (Maui), Puʻu Lanipō (Oahu), and Kalalau Trail (Kaua'i).
In less than 30 minutes you can be out of the city and into the wild. Oʻahu’s trails lead to panoramic views and spectacular waterfalls.
Hawaiʻi Island’s rugged trails have one-of-a-kind rewards like a beach with olive-colored sand or oozing hot lava.
Kauaʻi may be remote. But once you are there, you’ll want to hike everywhere. And you won’t want to miss the reddish hues and expanse of The Grand Canyon of the Pacific (Waimea Canyon).
Maui is an endless discovery of one waterfall, after another. There, you will walk through 400 foot waterfalls, rain forests and craggy paths, to discover one of the rarest plants in the world, the spiky silversword.
