Explore the Best Trails in Oahu


Embark on the Kaunala Trail, a captivating 5.2-mile loop near Kahuku, Oahu, offering an average completion time of 2 hours and 41 minutes. This moderately challenging trail has become a hotspot for outdoor enthusiasts engaging in camping, hiking, and mountain biking. As you traverse the path, be prepared for a variety of terrains, from the root-laden single-track sections with uneven surfaces to the smoother paved and gravel stretches.

This popular trail invites canine companions, provided they are leashed. Accessing the trailhead requires a 0.6-mile hike on a dirt road from the roadside near the Boy Scout Camp. Venture left for the trailhead or right to continue on the road. The southern part, a closed paved road, offers a serene experience, while the eastern gravel road presents the steepest and highest segment of the loop. The western section, a single-track trail, completes the diverse journey through nature's wonders.
