The Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail is a fully paved trail that takes you to gorgeous views of the lighthouse and ocean. However, don't expect to be able to actually visit the lighthouse as it is an active aid to navigation and there is no path you are allowed to take. But the views of the surrounding area are fantastic. If you go in the winter months you may see whales. We only saw one whale and it was very far out, and it only broke the surface of the ocean once, and mostly just slapped the water with its tail. But it is definitely worth it for the views.

Thank you for sharing your experience on the Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail! We’re glad you enjoyed the stunning views of the lighthouse and ocean. While access to the lighthouse itself is restricted, the surrounding scenery is definitely worth the hike. It’s great that you spotted a whale, even if it was a bit far out! We hope you’ll return for more breathtaking views in the future.

Very cool. Beautiful scenery, saw lots of whales in the distance. Wish we had another 30 minutes to an hour. Other than that, perfect!
