What it's about

Kaena Point, located at the western tip of O‘ahu, is a remote and rugged natural reserve offering a peaceful escape from the more tourist-heavy spots on the island. Known for its dramatic landscapes, Kaena Point is a great place for hiking, with trails that lead you along the coastline, offering stunning views of the ocean and the surrounding cliffs.

The area is also home to diverse wildlife, including seabirds and Hawaiian monk seals. It’s a popular spot for nature lovers, as well as those looking to enjoy a quiet day outdoors. The trails can be a bit challenging, but the scenery along the way, including panoramic ocean views and volcanic rock formations, makes it worth the effort.

The point is protected as part of the Kaena Point Natural Area Reserve, so visitors are encouraged to respect wildlife and the natural environment. If you’re looking for a more remote and peaceful spot to hike, explore, or simply enjoy the raw beauty of O‘ahu, Kaena Point offers an unforgettable experience.
