About

Short but rewarding hike to WWII-era concrete bunkers on the ridge above Lanikai Beach. Offers stunning panoramic views of Lanikai Beach, the twin Mokulua Islands, and the Windward Coast — especially magical at sunrise.

Our Take

The short, steep climb to the WWII bunkers on the ridge above Lanikai rewards with one of the best views on the island — the twin Mokulua Islands, the turquoise of Lanikai Beach, the full sweep of the Windward Coast. Go at sunrise for the light, the colors, and the relative quiet before the trail gets busy.
