Overview
- Paved, moderate lighthouse trail hike with strong whale-watching potential in season (roughly Dec-April)
- Halona Blowhole stop included
- Beginner-friendly - one of Oahu's most accessible scenic hikes
The Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail is a paved, gently graded coastal hike - one of Oahu's most accessible 'hike' experiences, with strong ocean views and seasonal humpback whale sightings. This tour pairs it with a stop at the nearby Halona Blowhole.
Tripreviewall's Take
One of the easiest, most rewarding hikes on Oahu - especially good in whale season.
Good for
- Beginner hikers or families
- Winter/spring travelers hoping to see humpback whales from shore
Worth knowing
- The trail is paved and gently sloped - one of the more accessible options if mobility is a concern, though it's still an uphill walk
- Whale sightings are seasonal (roughly December-April) and not guaranteed
