Looking for a great way to spend some time in the great outdoors during your Hawai'i stay? Take a shuttle with us down to the Makapu’u Hiking Trail and get to enjoy everything that this popular path has to offer. Follow along the beautiful O’ahu coastline with its vibrant blues complementing the natural greens around you. If you come down during whale watching season, then keep an eye open for the Humpbacks. This is one of the most popular whale watching areas in Hawai'i.

Along the way, be sure to get pictures of Makapu’u Point Light. This historic lighthouse is more than 100 years old and has the largest lens of any lighthouse in the United States. You’ll know it for its distinctive red lantern and white body. Continue down the hiking trail and come across the Halona Blowhole. This natural wonder is a rock formation where waves that crash into the coast are sprayed upwards by as much as 20 feet. Our shuttle to take you to this incredible path is available every day except for Christmas and New Year’s Day, and allows you to skip the infamous terrible parking around Makapu’u so you can get right into enjoying some time in the great outdoors of Hawai‘i.
