Breathtaking Views - Tommy made this experience great!! We safely got to our destination and back! The hike didn't feel long- maybe around 30 min to the top. Great views of the ocean and island! My favorite hidden gem was the Oil Shack with a mural of the Krusty Krab Kitchen lol!

Makapu'u Lighthouse - Tommy was very punctual and we enjoyed our tour immensely. We had more than enough time to do the hike a our own pace and Tommy was well informed and did some commentaries of the places we passed. He was a good drver too. Recommend this tour.

Awesome experience - Tommy was such a fun and helpful guide! Shared fun stories about surfing and growing up in Hawaii. The 2 hours at the trail is more than enough time. We took our time going up and down, and still had about an extra 35 minutes. It is mild but continuous incline the whole way up.

Nice leisurely hike with awesome views - Tommy, our guide was excellent. He had a lot of valuable information about places to eat and go. This was a pleasant hike on a paved Trail with manageable incline. Water is provided. Tommy made sure we visited a bathroom prior to getting started. The views are magnificent!

Another lighthouse - They take you to the blow hole and then drop you off You have 2 hours to go up the fairly steep paved trail. Worth the trip Note you cannot go in the lighthouse. Lovely views all around

A bit misleading regarding the lighthouse. - This trip is mainly providing shuttle service to the site. They drop you off and come back 2 hours later to pick you up. It’s a bit misleading regarding the light house. You can’t go in the light house or even get close to it. The trail is washed away and the white fence posts are broken and scattered on the hillside. The walk to the top is fun and can take about 40-45 minutes for the average person. The well down is faster of course. Once you get down, there is no place to sit and wait for the driver to come back. No shade, be prepared for the weather if it’s hot. There was a nice breeze and the view was amazing at the top.

Rewarded walking - The journey to the lighthouse is quite easy the road is paved and on arrival the view pays off. Too bad that the lighthouse could not be lit but only see it from the path. With an extra hour of touring and an extra stop would be even better.
