What To Expect
Start your adventure with round-trip shuttle service from Waikiki, enjoying scenic views along Oahu’s southeastern coastline. Stop at the Halona Blowhole to capture dramatic waves spraying against the rocks. Continue to the Makapu‘u Lighthouse Trail, a self-guided 2.5-mile hike along paved paths with moderate elevation, offering panoramic vistas of Koko Head, Rabbit Island, and the Pacific Ocean. On clear days, spot Moloka‘i and Lana‘i islands, and from November through April, watch for humpback whales breaching, spouting, and playing in their natural habitat, one of Hawaii’s best whale-watching spots. Pause along lookout points to take photos, observe seabirds, and enjoy the ocean breeze. Snap photos of the historic lighthouse and surrounding coastline, take in the sweeping views, and stay refreshed with provided bottled water. This tour combines hiking, sightseeing, wildlife spotting, and photography, creating a full and unforgettable Oahu experience for adventurers of all ages.
