Outing: Hiking Oahu

Activity Notes

Hike for a week on Oahu’s fabulous Ko’olau Summit Trail (KST), its side ridges and valleys. The high point of the ruggedly beautiful 37 mile KST is 3,100 ft. Expect “B” level hikes with some scrambling, steep drop-offs, and sections of wet and muddy trails bringing hikers to flora-rich summits and amazing ocean vistas.

We’ll stay in a two story, six bedroom, five bath home high above Hawaii Kai, close to restaurants and grocery stores. Nearby are Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, Koko Crater, and Makapu’u Lighthouse and Trail. We’ll meet local hiking clubs to “talk story” and gain insights to local island hiking. We will take a mid-week break to relax or enjoy some of Honolulu’s many offerings, including famous historic sites such as Bishop Museum, National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, or the Arizona Memorial. 

Outing costs of $1,704 to $1,230 for a group of 8 minimum – 12 maximum participants. Each participant is responsible for meals, travel to and from Oahu and shared vehicle rental on Oahu. (Parking at our Oahu home is limited to 3 vehicles, so sharing will be necessary). A trip overview meeting will be held in early February. Deposit of $250 will be charged upon acceptance. You will be sent an invoice for the remainder of the Outing cost. Full payment will be due by Jan 31, 2019.
