Makapu’u Point Lighthouse Trail Hike & Halona Blowhole
Magnificent Views of the Windward Coast and Offshore Islets
From the end of the trail at Makapu‘u Head, one is rewarded with magnificent views of the windward coast and offshore islets, as well as the historic red-roofed Makapu‘u Lighthouse built in 1909 – which makes a stunning picture against the deep blue sea below.
The spectacular Makapu’u Lighthouse is more than 100 years old, and houses a historic “hyper-radiant” (super-sized) lens. On a clear day, you may even see Moloka‘i and Lana‘i. The offshore islets are wildlife sanctuaries for Hawaiian seabirds like the ‘iwa, frigate bird, and tropicbird. This trail is an excellent place to view migrating humpback whales in season (November-May). Binoculars are suggested for viewing the whales and seabirds. An interpretive sign and viewing scope along the trail help you view and identify the whales seen from this location.
HALONA BLOWHOLE
On our way to Makapu`u Lighthouse we will stop at one of Hawai’i’s most popular attractions: the Halona Blowhole. Here we will make a 15 minute stop so that you will be able to take pictures of this spectacular natural phenomenon. When wind and tide conditions are just perfect, the Halona Blowhole is known to spray water up to 20 feet in the air! Both the blowhole and summit are incredible vantage points to spot Hawaii’s annual winter visitors, the Humpback whales.
