A volcanic tuff cone's peak offering panoramic views of the surrounding ocean and city, popular for hiking and historical significance.

Tips from the community

See my comments for the state park here. This is a must-do Oahu activity, but come early to avoid the crowds - and an extra-long walk when the parking lot fills up.

  • Top things to do - on Oahu

    My list of favorite places and things to do when visiting Oahu. While Oahu is more urban and densely populated than the other island, and it is at the bottom of my list for snorkeling, it offers an incredible variety of beaches, hikes, drives, surfing, history, culture, and food. This is the island for those who love great food and an incredible assortment of dining options.
