I’m sure you weren’t looking to get a workout while on vacation, but Oahu hiking trails provide just that!
With fitness levels varying from “easy” to “moderate,” these nature tours are a great alternative to the busy downtown tourist scene. What could be more serene than the singing of tropical birds, the sounds of rushing waterfalls, the smell of the fragrant “Kopikos,” and the cool rain forest mist as it hits your face.
Nope, you won’t be able to experience any of this hanging around Waikiki!
Hiking Tours on Oahu is guaranteed to take you to some of the most sacred and hidden parts of the island of Oahu, introducing you to history and information on Hawaii’s many plant and bird life endangered species (Hawaii is home to the most endangered species on the planet, giving it the nickname of “endangered species capital of the world”), and the efforts that have been made to save them.
These tours definitely qualify as one of the best things to do on Oahu, and with hikes such as the Valley of the Rainbows, Natural Highlights of Oahu, and the Diamond Head Crater tours, you will definitely not want to leave your camera back at the hotel room!
