Kapena Falls Trailhead

3.4(70 reviews)

About

On Oahu, Kapena Falls Trailhead begins at 2302 Pali Hwy, Honolulu, HI 96813, United States, on the edge of the city. It is known as a trailhead, the starting point for a walk into the surrounding greenery rather than a destination with facilities. First-time visitors should expect an unmarked, natural entry point rather than a developed park.

A 3.4 out of 5 score from 70 reviews suggests mixed responses from those who have made the trip. The listing points to http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/ for the state department responsible for the area. Reaching the trailhead from Waikiki or central Honolulu is a short drive along the Pali Hwy, though the approach is not served by resort-area foot traffic.

From the windward towns of Kailua and Lanikai, the route crosses the island via the Pali, making the trailhead a possible stop for drivers already heading that way. The Honolulu location keeps it within easy range of the city's main districts.

Hawaiian culture includes hula dance, oli chants and the voyaging traditions of Polynesian navigators, and the islands themselves formed as the Pacific Plate crossed a hotspot. Local food runs to plate lunches, poke made from raw fish, and kalua pork cooked in an imu earth oven.
