    Hiking

    Ka'ena Point is the northwestern tip of O'ahu. This is a nature reserve that is home to rare plants & wildlife including endangered animals.

    Seabirds such as albatrosses and marine mammals such as the Hawaiian monk seal can also be spotted in the wild, as can whales. You can also find numerous rare plant species here.

    Hiking

    Warning: the hike is actually quite easy, however: 1) this corner is the hottest corner on the island! take enough water and sun protection, there is almost no shade 2) shortly before the end of the path the path was broken off (in 2019) and you have to climb a little bit. Nothing dramatic, but at this point definitely no slippers or something like that, but surefootedness and a little bit of a head for heights
