Kalawahine Trail on top of Tantalus also known as Manoa Cliff Loop. Dog friendly nice shade and foliage. Parking is easy. 30 mins out and 30 back, good fast stretch.
this was my second time on this hike this time around I brought my almost 6 year old son. we both hiked with no problems.
I am always surprised how many people show up in their slipper/flip flops, as the trail is very uneven and rocky. even though this hike is under 2 miles, I would say tennis shoes are a must.
In my opinion, not a very pretty hike, which is why I rated this hike a 7. still, well worth the time to see the summit view.
Including our shaved ice reward at the end, it took us a total of 1 1/2 hours.
This is a great trail. It was the first time I saw tropical rainforest. The first part of the hike is easy... no steep include or declines for the first mile through rainforest. Then you travel down steep steps to reach the caldera. Once you're down in the blast zone, you are surrounded by lava... Be prepared for tons of sunlight and no shade. The first part is loose lava and you need good hiking shoes in order to traverse over this terrain. The second part of the caldera is easy to walk across. Very flat surface and easy footing. The last part of the hike ascends back in to the rainforest and allows for GREAT views of the volcano's caldera down below.
