LANIKAI PILLBOX TRAIL RE-EDITED HD "Wayde's World Hawaii"

(Easy / Moderate Activity) The Lanikai Pillbox Trail is considered by most to be one of the easiest hikes with some of the most amazing views. However, I don't recommend it for children under 12. The start of the hike consists of a major incline up to the first outlook. Once you reach that outlook the views will carry you to the final destination...This hike has several Pillboxes as your incline continues but just the excitement alone within you carries you higher and higher. You will forget all about the fact that you are climbing a ridge line to reach that final Pillbox and STUNNING VIEW of not only Kailua and Lanikai but all the way to the Makapuu Lighthouse! If you watch this video at several points I do some things that look dramatic. I choose to go the harder way right along the rocky ridge line but there are several ways to reach the Pillboxes and all are easier then the way I choose. You choose which way to go easy or hard. I have done this trail so many times I continue to try to find harder ways to get to the top. Please enjoy this hour hike. It's truly a hike you should not MISS if you are on Oahu. Also I would highly hope you attempt this at SUNRISE. Bring a flashlight or head lamp and head up about 5am. YOU WILL NOT REGRET sitting on top of the Pillbox as the SUN RISES for you! Bring your camera and the one you love and enjoy a moment in time that will be cherished. *NOTE if it is a bright sunny day the SUN will be brutal so bring plenty of water and SUNBLOCK. The good NEWS is this is the WINDWARD side of the island and you will have a steady pace of wind and breeze, you can also enter the Pillboxes for shade. Because of the wind clouds come and go fast and some may bring a shower but they will pass quickly. There is always a chance you will be given a gift of a RAINBOW over the Mokes, the twin islands you overlook. Much Aloha everyone and enjoy one of the shortest and rewarding hiking trail on the island.

@mcdolly140679 Mahalos for watching, you'll be back...those who leave always return. I would love to show you around. Spread the Aloha, keep watching and tell others!

Haha...I like how you make it look harder than it really is. But a good hike for a beautiful scene

[WAYDESWORLDHAWAII]

@jayvogkoz lol, this is a very easy hike...I however go up the front ridge and do some rock scrambling, most don't do that...Going that way is more fun and a little harder for the average joe, but still easy if you got any hiking skills...I don't think this video looks hard...it looks easy. perception...perception.

Hey Wayde I was wondering if you used a wide angle lens on your gopro for this video as I will be traveling there on Aug 15 and would like to get some nice footage while I'm there.

[WAYDESWORLDHAWAII]

@tasmania105 NO bro...this is direct out of the Box...Seriously, depending on the angle, the sun and ridge size can make it look like you are but the GoPro has a very wide frame as it is...The more sun the better...the GoPro for some reason in darker areas like a forest or at sunset shrink the frame and are not as focused...

@WAYDESWORLDHAWAII yah just yesterday we did Lanikai Pillbox again but continued the whole trail around like a loop going over all the hills until we ended up on the bottom of the hill and walked backed to the beginning. Good hike. about 2 hours. Thanks for your videos

[clownfishx]

This activity doesn't look easy or moderate. LOL! Beautiful view.

@WAYDESWORLDHAWAII

I have purchase from the stands, but they are also the ripe brown coconuts. I guess what im looking for are the white ones they have here in California which are imported from Thailand. Im guessing they are not the same since I dont see people drinking the young coconuts there. Were heading back to Oahu in August, hope i find some this time.

Thanks - PS, ill be looking forward to Kaiona beach and Lanikai beach - thanks for the tip.

[WAYDESWORLDHAWAII]

@funintegras Well my friend, even if you do get one you won't be able to open it unless you bring a machete with you...You can find Green coconuts everywhere but you will have to climb the palm tree...if they fall on the ground already it's too late...You see the problem here...lol...go ahead and stop at a side stand...you will find plenty of them along the roads on the East and North sides of the island on the streets and they are cheap. You can also go to the Aloha stadium swap meet. Good Luck
