    Makapuu Lighthouse Trail is one of Oahu's most popular coastal hiking trails on its southeastern coast, offering spectacular views of the Kaiwi State Scenic Shoreline.

There's also the iconic red Makapuu Lighthouse built in 1909 which you can see along the way. Bring a pair of binoculars to spot seabirds and migrating humpback whales from November to May. This uphill trail is about two miles long and is well-paved throughout, making it a manageable trek for families with children. – Tripadvisor See more..

    Kapuaiwa Coconut Grove / Kiowea Park image
    Visitors assume that coconuts and the islands go together. They don't. Hawaii is too far by water for a coconut to remain viable floating here. Coconuts were brought to Hawaii by the early voyagers as one of their canoe plants. If you see coconut palms in the wild they were planted there. It might be along a trail as you'll see in the H-3 valley on Oahu. Or in this case they were planted for the king's refreshment when he visited Molokai. One caveat, don't go wandering around under the trees. They drop dangerous nuts and fronds. Ever notice the goats keeping the grass down? Enough said. See more..
