Important Info: A hike to Kaʻena Point can take two routes- from the Wai‘anae side or from the Mokuleʻia side. Both routes are approximately the same distance to the Point. The weather is usually sunny and hot, and it can be windy – a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water are recommended. Allow 1 to 3 hours depending on your pace. Stay away from the wave-exposed coast unless you are familiar with hazardous ocean conditions. From the Wai‘anae side, take the trailhead at the end of the paved road in the Keawaula Section of Ka‘ena Point State Park and follow the dirt roadway for 2.4 miles to Ka‘ena Point Natural Area Reserve. From the Mokule‘ia side, park at the end of the paved road and follow the dirt roadway for 2.5 miles. Upon reaching the Natural Area Reserve, take care to avoid damaging native flora and watch for nesting seabirds, some of whom make burrow nests. Stay on established paths. No dogs or other animals are allowed in the Reserve. To return, retrace your path.
