Manana Trail

There are tons of incredible hiking trails on Oahu, a lot of which are too difficult for the kids to do. Friends of ours who have young kids recommended this one, the Manana trail (whenever I hear that name I automatically start humming the Mananana na na, na na na song from the Muppets in my head!).

This trail runs along the top of a ridge so the views are panoramic and spectacular. We just kept driving up, up, and up to get to the trailhead. The trail itself was not very steep and the kids walked in for quite a ways. We could have brought the stroller, most of the areas were smooth enough for the jogging stroller.

Since I have a whole book that I got on hiking and swimming spots on Oahu, we need to try more of these trails out.


Our snack break - looked like a good spot to sit down
Cole loved this little nook, it is one of the legs for high voltage power lines that cross the trail. He kept saying he was a statue and would wedge himself in there.
