Majestic Hiking at Mt. Olomana Trail (Three Peaks), Kailua, Hawaii

How far the worst “hike”, the difficulty is very easy but it can be very dangerous because of potential rain and the mud as at some point you have to climb up stones. The thing is that the view is not really that amazing in comparison to other viewpoints that you can reach with 1/3 or 1/5 of danger. Funny enough climbing up was faster than going down. Very overrated, however, if you do it, please wear hiking shoes with good grip and hold onto things, we saw too many people that have not ended up in the hospital or the graveyard because of pure luck!!!

Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

Cannot park near the trailhead or anywhere on Loop Rd. Need to park near Auloa Rd and walk to the trailhead. Walk through the forest, then right at the fork and then steep climb. 5 or 6 (maybe) rope sections before the first peak. Unfortunately when we were at the top it started pouring, so didn’t think it was a great idea to continue. Coming back down was slow in the rain and mud

I'm thankful for these reviews as we never got a parking ticket and I felt prepared for this difficult hike. I'm in my forties, average fitness and I found ot tiring. My legs were jello by the end. I needed to take breaks going up and pace myself. I actually liked the parts with climbing and ropes the best. The final rock climb did make me a little nervous but it wasn't terrible. We went after a few dry days and it was not that muddy. (I 100% would NOT want to do this hike while muddy or raining!) We just did the first peak. Mainly because I was tired and tired to continue on knowing it is a little more dangerous the further you go. I also had my 14 & 17 yr old with me. This was Tuesday and today is Thursday and my legs are still sore, LOL. We got lucky with parking at the corner of the two streets they mention. I was soooo worried about a parking ticket but we were good! Thx for the tips google reviews.

The trail is downright dangerous. The risk of dying is very real, and the few people we meet all tell us to be careful! So, my advice is, be careful!!! The trail starts off easy with just a bit of mud, then a beautiful pine forest and some stunning views. We think, wow, it's beautiful. Then comes the first climb with a rope, easy, not stressful at all. We think, it's fine! Then we cross mountain ridges with precipices, a bit of rock climbing, but we think, well, if I fall, there are trees on either side to catch me. It's fine! Then come the rocks. We're higher up now, and it's steeper, and there are hardly any trees! But hey, we want to get to the top! Then we're almost at the summit, reaching the unattainable star (thanks, Jacques Brel). But then, precipices on either side, no trees, and you think: where are we supposed to go?! It's not that the trail isn't clear, no, no, it's more that you think, "Surely we can't go through here!" There are always two choices: to the left or to the right of the rock, with twelve inches of packed earth on either side, then the precipice that makes my head spin, my own personal carousel is you (thanks Edith Piaf)! We only did the first peak. Honestly, my name could have been on the memorial sign at the trailhead, and I would have been the only one to die on the first peak! It's surprising there haven't been any deaths there because one wrong move, one wrong step, and it's all over. It's risky and dangerous, yes, be aware of that, but I'm giving it five stars for the memories I'll have of doing it with my son, and there are still plenty of people who climb it every day without any problems, so maybe I'm just being overly cautious! By the way, we did the round trip in 3 hours (with 20 minutes at the top), it's beautiful the whole way, and there are no mosquitoes (they're all dead, they fell off!!!).
