The highlight of this hike was seeing nesting albatrosses and monk seals. The hike is relatively easy with nice views along the coast the whole way. I had to go about 5.5 miles round trip to see th… Full review by Y2599VRjane

This was a new trail for us. We followed the coastal trail down to the point and took the road back to the parking lot. We arrived at the gate right at 7am and had two other cars join us shortly ther… Full review by Mandy M

The < 1 hour suggestion is ridiculous. We went a total of 5.78 miles and spent well over two hours. The waves were fabulous. We hiked all the way to the end and watched the sunset. We saw a monk … Full review by angarone
Hi, we're looking at visiting from Waianae. And I've read where the walk is longer but easier. How long are the walk/hikes? It is hard to get an estimate from Google maps. Thanks for any help.

You need to budget at least a few hours for either approach. It all depends on how aggressive you walk. The approach from Waianae is shorter but slower because the trail is washed out near the point and you'll need to do some short climbs. The north approach is basically level. It wasn't windy the time I was there, but I could see how that could be a factor. It took me much longer to hike in than out on the north approach. Going in I stopped at many locations, but going out I didn't stop. If you are able bodied and short on time I'd recommend the wset approach. If you have the better part of the day and need a level course then the north approach is for you.
Is there a curfew or does the park close at a certain time?
A:
It is a national park so hours are dawn to dusk. There truly is no shade at all. Bring a hat and something to cover your shoulders. You'll be grateful you did.
I have read that Ka'ena point is an awesome place for stargazing, and I'd very much like to give it a try. Have anyone tried this? Is it better to go hiking or riding a bike? Is it dangerous at night? I'd be going with my boyfriend. I'll be visiting Oahu and Kauai, is Ka'ena Point the best place in both of these islands to see stars? Thanks guys!!
A:
I have only been there during the day and hiking. I know of people obtaining permits and camping out, that's the best I can do.
