Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

We parked & hiked on the North side. When I got out of our Jeep there was window glass everywhere. We did not have our windows broken into, but obviously someone before us did. It was hot & the hike to the point was long. We only saw 1 seal, which was disappointing, but happy I saw at least 1. We saw it about 1/4 mile from the parking lot. I wish we had turned around there. At the end, we saw nesting Albatross which was cool. I wish anyone could drive along the road & not just locals. I don't really think it was worth the hike all the way to the end. It would have been better to drive to the end. If I had to do it again, I would have parked & walked around near the parking the lot & not have gone to the point.

You need to be a HI resident and obtain permit to be able to access this park. Great area for 4X4 access, hikes, and private secluded beaches. You can see whales breaching (in season), sea turtles, dolphins, and plenty of seabirds. Great place to hit the beaches for the day without anyone around you.

We arrived later than we wanted, around 9am, but there was a nice steady breeze. Bring lots of cold water and sunscreen!!! We hiked from the Waianae side to the point and back. It's a much easier walk due to the path being rocks and dirt instead of shifting sand (on the Haleiwa side). The last part of the hike had a slight landslide, so the trail was narrow and tricky. Wear closed toed shoes and you're fine. We saw about a dozen albatross, and one monk seal.

Beautiful place. Came here for a couple hours with grandparents and my 4 and 5yo. We walked and explored the tidepools which are very cool and all over. The view in every direction is amazing. We unfortunately did not see any seals and did not make it all the way to the point, but definitely a place to return to!

Ka’ena Point State Park is a remote coastline park that overs hiking, picnicking, fishing and sea glass searching. It wraps around the northwest corner of Oahu and has two sections: the Keawa’ula Section on the west side and the Mokuleia on the north shore. There is no way to drive from one section to the other. We visited the Mokuleia section. A marked trail will take you to the westernmost point of Oahu is Kaena Point. Ka’ena means “the heat” and was named after the brother of Pele, the goddess of volcanoes and fire. According to legend, this is the place where souls of ancient Hawaiians would jump off in the spirit world to unite with their ancestors. The hike is 2.7 miles one-way along a volcanic coast with tide pools. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen.

Decided to hike from the end of North Shore this time and it was different and amazing. If I did it again I'd rent a 4wheeler. I felt safe and I'm a 50yr old woman who is not in the best of shape. I got to see seals and turtles both times I hiked. If I go again I'd bring my family here. There were so many private beaches that you'd have all to yourself and when I made it to the gates of Ka'ena Point I got to see the birds. Saw much more on the hike along the shore than inside gates but I got my exercise.
Tips for State of Hawaii - you need bathrooms. Everyone is having to use the potty the other way and wow in some areas the heat makes you smell it bad.
Glad I wore hiking shoes and brought plenty of water. I read reviews and glad I did. I made sure to have ice cold water waiting for me inside my car.
Take ur time and make sure you hike along the shore. The turtles and seals love this area and it's NOT crowded at all. It's like the LOCAL hangout.

This hike was very well worth it. You get to see some outrageous views! It takes about two hours to walk to the point taking the coastal trail. It’s very beautiful and it may take you less time if you don’t stop every few minutes to catch the views (like we did) but I definitely recommend that you do!! Wear hiking shoes and bring water and a light jacket. Wear sunscreen. WE SAW MONK SEALS (3 of them) 🦭🦭🦭. The walk back was brutal on us because we don’t hike often so that two mile journey back to the parking lot was hard. But it was worth it in the end.

We began the 2.86 mile (one way) hike on the Haleiwa side of the trail. With the ocean on one side and the mountain range on the other, it is a spectaculat hike. It is easy hike following a dirt road. Arriving at the point, we saw albatross nesting and Monk seals resting on the rocks. There are no facilities, water,etc so you need to carry everything in and out.

Excellent opportunity for hiking along the beach or away from the beach - both with great views. The morning offered little to no people with stunning views. The sounds of the waves crashing into the rocks and periodic sand beach areas were offered memorable opportunities for photography

We weren't sure what we would find when we drove to the end of the road but we were really glad we drove here for beautiful coastline views and watching the waves crash. As we visited here during the end of summer we arrived too late in the morning to hike as it was hot, but decided on our next trip to O'ahu we'll get up early to hike around this area. We still enjoyed wandering over the rocky coastline, feeling the breeze and watching the waves roll in. This from what we could see is not an area you would swim in, well not on the day we were there as it was rough conditions in the water.

Hi, we're looking at visiting from Waianae. And I've read where the walk is longer but easier. How long are the walk/hikes? It is hard to get an estimate from Google maps. Thanks for any help.

You need to budget at least a few hours for either approach. It all depends on how aggressive you walk. The approach from Waianae is shorter but slower because the trail is washed out near the point and you'll need to do some short climbs. The north approach is basically level. It wasn't windy the time I was there, but I could see how that could be a factor. It took me much longer to hike in than out on the north approach. Going in I stopped at many locations, but going out I didn't stop. If you are able bodied and short on time I'd recommend the wset approach. If you have the better part of the day and need a level course then the north approach is for you.

I just wondered which side you hike from - the west side - Makaha? We want to do the Makaha side. Is it safe to swim at the point? How long was the hike - an hour? Where did you see the monk seals - right in with the birds at the point? Do you think we are crazy if we can't start the hike until about 11 am? ;-)
Thanks!
Is there a curfew or does the park close at a certain time?

I have read that Ka'ena point is an awesome place for stargazing, and I'd very much like to give it a try. Have anyone tried this? Is it better to go hiking or riding a bike? Is it dangerous at night? I'd be going with my boyfriend. I'll be visiting Oahu and Kauai, is Ka'ena Point the best place in both of these islands to see stars? Thanks guys!!

It is definitely best for hiking, not a good trail for bike riding... to rough. I feel it would be dangerous at night, as the cliffs are so high and open to the water below... you could easily slip off the cliff and into the water below. I would recommend a day time walk only. Enjoy!

Hi,
I have heard that whales are seen in the ocean at Washington Oaks at certain times of the year.
If so when are they seen?

I'm not sure about "Wasnington Oaks, but Ka'ena Point definitely has a "Whale Season" from January to March each year. Hawaii gets a Humpback Whale migration in winter with whales coming close to shore on many islands. We watched whale activity for the Humpback Conservancy in the past...Makua Cave is on the way to Ka'ena Pt. That was our viewing station.

Once you are on the hike there are no facilities or even any trees or bushes. The odd large rock, but it is a fairly busy trail.

Where do you park? I know when we drove up the side from Aulani it wasn't a non tourist area for locals only. Are you coming from the other side where the base side is and Lost was filmed?
Please verify direction on how to get there really want to do this this summer.

If you're taking the southern approach from Waianae I've been told that most break-ins happen to cars parked right at the trailhead. If you just turn around and go back toward Waianae and park along side the road at a spot that's not obscured by bushes you should have less chance of a break-in. Even then, heed the advice given above and don't leave valuables in your car. The other advice to follow is to bring sufficient water and sunscreen. It's a hot trail with very little shade. Avoid doing this hike in the middle of the day.
With those negatives aside, it's a great hike! Dramatic coast line, tide pools, feathered and blubbered wildlife. Frequent humpback sightings during the winter. You'll be tempted to scramble out over lava rock in many places to get closer to the water so bring appropriate footwear.
