Hiking on Hawai'i Island(Updated 2024)

During our time on the island, we always manage to squeeze in 2-3 hikes. There are two hiking trails that are just a 30-45 minute drive away from our condo. The first one follows an old sugar cane railway bed, which has been transformed into an amazing walking trail. You can choose to start from either Mahukona Beach Park or Kap'a Beach Park. The second trail is located at the Kalopa State Recreation Area - Hawaii State Parks  we love this hiking area.  It gets you up into the tropical rain forest.  Pretty well marked and nice 4 miles or so loop., a hiking spot that we truly enjoy. It takes you through the tropical rainforest on a well-marked loop of approximately 4 miles. This trail is about a 40-minute drive south from our condo. (updated October 2024)
