I recently explored the captivating hiking trail that promises an array of environments, making it a delightful journey for nature enthusiasts. The trail seamlessly transitions from a lush green jungle to a dry forest, offering a visual feast for hikers. What sets this trail apart is its versatility. It caters to various preferences with flat hikes, a small climbing wall for those seeking an extra challenge, and a natural tree staircase that adds a touch of enchantment to the experience. The well-designed loop ensures a straightforward route, making it accessible for hikers of all levels. While the trail is not overly strenuous, packing a bit of water and some bug spray is advisable to enhance the overall enjoyment. The diverse landscapes, coupled with the ease of navigation, make this hiking trail a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature's wonders. It's a truly enriching outdoor adventure that caters to both beginners and seasoned hikers alike.

This and the waterfall was such a wonderful hike. We traveled through beautiful tropical forest, streaming vines, and climbed slick dirt covered mounds with only our feet, rocks, and strong tree roots/branches for support. We were greeted by friendly nature lovers and got very wet and dirty in the process of finding ourselves in nature. It was mesmerizing. Please check it out, knowing you will not come out clean, but you will come out of this walk to remember with a wonderful appreciation of Hawaii in all its forms. Enjoy, friends! ♥️

Challenging 3-mile hike that’s basically like going up & down flights of stairs for 2 hours. Minus a couple stars for (a) trail is flanked on both sides with trees/vines with very little lookout, (b) you can’t stop to rest for long because mosquitos. (Bring bug spray and plenty of water.) We had ages 8 to 40+ and everyone made it on their own power but our legs were jelly for the final half-mile. The real highlight for us were all the songbirds along the trail. They sang to us beautifully most of the way and made the hike rewarding.

It took me about 90 mins to finish. Great loop hiking with 3 trails. Didn’t get any issue finding my way as a first timer. The map gives an accurate detail of how long it will take for each trail as well as the distance. I would do it again. A special “thank you” to everyone who contributed to build these hike trails and make it easy for first timer.

Very beautiful trail in Honolulu; we walked to it from our hotel to make a great day of exercise. And to compensate for the mai tais we consumed the night before. Trail is uphill for about half the hike and it is a bit taxing but that was mostly due to avoiding mud and slippery rocks since it had rained the day before. Felt accomplished afterwards.

I loved this trail!! The most beautiful views of the city and mountains ⛰️ 😍. It's just for hiking, not bikes, because the trails are a little dangerous, some of them very narrow, and I don't know if all year it's the same, but in July most of the way is just mud, hard to walk. I took some trails to make a loop and took me 3 hours total.
