This Kaneohe hike ends with a pillbox and amazing views of Kaneohe. This is a moderate
hike that has several uphill portions and can be muddy if it's been raining. Distance: 2.5 miles
Easy loop trail, but bring shoes that can get wet if you plan to walk into the water tunnel to find the Holy Grail. Distance: 2 miles
Starting right next to the Pali, this hike will go through a diverse range of trees and plants to reach two waterfalls. There’s also an old irrigation tunnel to explore at the end. This is a medium hard hike, expect muddy conditions *these waterfalls need lots of rain to be flowing at more than a trickle. Distance 2 miles
This historic hike, follows the Old Pali highway and is paved for around 2/3rds of the hike. Great views of Kaneohe at the top, plus the chance to go beneath the current Pali Highway. An easy hike. Distance 2.5 miles
Scouts will get to explore old irrigation tunnels on this kid favorite. Don’t forget your flashlights and bug spray! There are a few narrow sections, but this is an easy hike. Distance 3 miles
