Intended for experienced hikers with strong endurance and confidence in challenging terrain.
Behind the world-famous surf breaks of the North Shore lies a trail less traveled but equally rewarding. The ʻEhukai Pillbox Trail begins just across from ʻEhukai Beach Park and climbs steadily through shaded forest terrain to reveal panoramic views of Sunset Beach, Pupukea, and Waimea Bay. With its mix of peaceful woods and dramatic coastal lookouts, this hike offers a quieter contrast to the bustling beach scene below.
On Oʻahu’s southeastern shore near Hawaiʻi Kai, a challenging path climbs the side of a volcanic crater. Known as the Koko Crater Railway Trail, or simply “Koko Head,” this intense hike follows a set of old railway tracks—remnants of a World War II-era military tramway. Ascending nearly a thousand feet in under a mile, the trail offers one of the island’s most iconic cardio challenges, leading to a sweeping 360-degree view from the summit.
