This summer we took a hike at Makapu’u Lighthouse Trail. The hike was difficult, only two miles round trip but the elevation gain of 500 feet was brutal. Though difficult, the view from the top was totally worth it.




We were hot, sweaty and out of breath by the time we reached the top, but the climb was worth it.

Add the Makapu’u Lighthouse Trail to your Hawaii travel bucket list. The trail is located on Kalanianaole Highway at the south-eastern most point of O’ahu.
