About this place

Added by Shauna Simons

This trail is on private property. This quick and easy hike provides epic view of Kaneohe Bay.

Note this trail is on private property. You must have permission from the property owner to access it. 

Pu'u Ma'eli'eli Digging Hill is a fun hike with stunning views over the ocean. The round-trip hike is mostly flat with a few steep inclines and takes about 1.5 hours at a leisurely pace. Most of the hike is covered, so the sun doesn’t play a big factor, but it can get pretty muddy and humid after a rain.

This easy hike has a big payoff at the top - panoramic views of Kaneohe Bay, from Coconut Island to Mokoliʻi. On a clear day, you may even see Molokai, Maui and Lanai in the distance. If you're thinking of bringing the family on this hike, keep in mind that there are a few climbs in elevation, so make sure members of your party can take these on and that conditions have been dry lately.
