Makapu‘u Point Lighthouse Trail

The Makapu‘u Point Lighthouse Trail, located on Oahu’s hilly southeastern coast, offers a scenic and accessible hike for visitors. This 2-mile (3.2-kilometer) paved trail provides panoramic views of the Koko Crater, the historic Makapu‘u Lighthouse, and, on clear days, the distant islands of Molokai and Lanai. Hugging the coastline, the path is suitable for families and leads to a vantage point where hikers can enjoy the sight of the lighthouse perched on the cliffs. The trail’s combination of ocean vistas and gentle terrain makes it a favorite among both locals and tourists.
