February is the month of love, and I think we can all agree that a tropical Hawaiian vacation is as romantic as they come. Let your significant other know how much she means to you with more than just a box of chocolates and bouquet of flowers. This month on the blog we’re letting you in on our top 3 most romantic hikes on the O’ahu.

Ka’iwa Ridge Trail (Lanikai Pillbox Trail)

Known for being a fairly easy trail, the view from Ka’iwa Ridge is among other things, spectacular. Along the trail one can see the Ko’olau mountains as well as Moku Iki, one of two small islands off the shore of Lanikai. Providing views of Kailua, the trail is most rewarding at dawn or dusk when the skies are clear, and the crowds are limited. For those who have ever wanted a romantic night stargazing, this hike offers a truly stellar experience of O’ahu’s night sky.

Likeke Falls

Sometimes also referred to as the Old Pali Highway Falls, Likeke is a gorgeous, two-tiered waterfall that can be found below the Pali Lookout. As the name may suggest, this spot involves getting a little wet! Please prepare accordingly. This trail is not meant for the novice hiker, but rather better suited for the adventurous couple willing to get a little dirty. The hour-long hike through lush forest and humid conditions will be made worth it once you get to the glistening falls and are able to commemorate the end of the trail with a kiss!

Makapu’u Point Lighthouse Trail

In search of an easy trail with quick access and sights of mother nature? Look no further. This 2-mile paved trail provides tremendous views of O’ahu’s east side from Kailua to Hawaii Kai. The final backdrop will surely set the romantic tone for you and your sweetheart. 

No matter which hike you choose, grab some comfortable shoes, a reusable water bottle, and the spirit of adventure as you make your way to the romantic sights of the beautiful island of O’ahu.
