Huakaʻi Nui ~ The Big Hiking Adventure

A Hiking Tour with Swimming in the Koʻolau Mountains

Hikers will board a 4-wheel drive vehicle in Haleʻiwa town and off-road 7-miles to the trailhead. High in the Koʻolau mountains is a valley of unparalleled beauty with an abundance of exquisite freshwater pools and the best mountain swimming on the island! Possibly the most delightful hike on Oʻahu, this trail includes more than 10 stream crossings and an amazing array of tropical flowers and fruits. See wild tangerines, lilikoʻi (passion fruit), ‘ohiʻa ‘ai (mountain apple), mango, hau (sea hibiscus), and much more! Enjoy the islands through Hawaiian eyes as your expert guide shares the history, language, and moʻōlelo (stories) of Hawaiʻi and its fascinating environment. The “Nui” however, is all about the wai (water), so get your swimsuit on and strap up the hiking boots North Shore EcoToursis taking you on an adventure – Hawaiian style!
