Makapuu Lighthouse Trail
Driving Destination~25 min from WaikikiHikeScenicWildlifeFamily Fun
A paved 2-mile round trip along the southeastern tip of Oahu with dramatic ocean cliffs, a historic red-roofed lighthouse, and — from November to May — some of the best whale watching on the island. The trail is stroller-friendly and has no shade, so bring water and sunscreen.
Tip: Visit between January and March for peak humpback whale season. Binoculars make a big difference.
