Makiki Arboretum Trail

The Makiki Arboretum Trail offers a scenic excursion with greenery and trees surrounding you from every angle. The quiet path is set within the same part of Oahu as Makiki Valley State Recreation Area.

Locals and visitors alike take to the trail because it is pretty straightforward in terms of hiking difficulty. However, one thing people noted is that when it rains, it can get really muddy and also pose potential hazards. If you’re sure whether the trail and the area around it are safe, check if there are any announcements on the Department of Land and Natural Resources site.
