Lanikai Pillbox Hike

The Lanikai Pillbox hike is one of the most popular hikes on Oahu and for a very good reason. The view throughout the hike is gorgeous! This hike offers a fantastic view of the Mokulua Islands and Koolau Mountains. It is a little difficult so I would not attempt to hike it if you are not in "good" shape. It can also be a little slippery so walk with caution. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get to the top. Most people love to get on top of the pillboxes and take pictures with the ocean in the background. The pillboxes were originally built for the Islands defense system. They were built between WWI & WWII. My family has done this hike twice. The first time, my husband carried our son in the ergo. The second time I decided to do it. I received a ton of compliments for carrying him through the whole hike. *It made me really proud of myself.
