#alohaspirit If you’re looking for a hike in Hawaii that combines stunning coastal views with a dose of history, the Makapu’u Lighthouse Trail is the perfect choice. Located on the southeastern coast of Oahu, this 2-mile round-trip trail offers some of the most picturesque views on the island, making it a must-see for visitors and locals alike. The trail is paved, making it accessible for hikers of all levels. As you ascend, you’ll pass through rugged terrain with panoramic views of the turquoise Pacific Ocean, craggy cliffs, and nearby islands. At the top, you’ll be greeted by the iconic Makapu’u Point Lighthouse, which has been guiding ships safely since 1909. The lighthouse, though no longer in operation, remains a symbol of Hawaii’s maritime history. Along the way, keep an eye out for native wildlife, including seabirds and, during the winter months, migrating humpback whales. The hike is relatively short, but the scenery makes it feel like you’ve ventured into a faraway paradise. Whether you’re capturing the view on camera or simply soaking in the natural beauty, the Makapu’u Lighthouse Trail is an unforgettable experience with views that will stay with you long after the hike is over.
