Excellent use of time-view from the top of trail is amazing-guide was surprisingly informative-thought it would just be a shuttle to venue

Tommy was such a fun and helpful guide! Shared fun stories about surfing and growing up in Hawaii. The 2 hours at the trail is more than enough time. We took our time going up and down, and still had about an extra 35 minutes. It is mild but continuous incline the whole way up.

This trip is mainly providing shuttle service to the site. They drop you off and come back 2 hours later to pick you up. It’s a bit misleading regarding the light house. You can’t go in the light house or even get close to it. The trail is washed away and the white fence posts are broken and scattered on the hillside. The walk to the top is fun and can take about 40-45 minutes for the average person. The well down is faster of course. Once you get down, there is no place to sit and wait for the driver to come back. No shade, be prepared for the weather if it’s hot. There was a nice breeze and the view was amazing at the top.

Tommy, our guide was excellent. He had a lot of valuable information about places to eat and go. This was a pleasant hike on a paved Trail with manageable incline. Water is provided. Tommy made sure we visited a bathroom prior to getting started. The views are magnificent!

There were absolutely beautiful views, and Tommy was an amazing guide!! The uphill hike was rough but totally worth it.

Easy hike with amazing views, such a great experience! I've hiked the Rockies of Colorado and the views were just as beautiful if not better.

They take you to the blow hole and then drop you off You have 2 hours to go up the fairly steep paved trail. Worth the trip Note you cannot go in the lighthouse. Lovely views all around

The hike is challenging with a pretty good incline and 1m distance. The trail is paved and safe and there are all kinds of opportunities to pull off and rest and enjoy the breathtaking vies. The lighthouse is small but such a gorgeous setting where it sits.

The hike is gorgeous and easy going. You have enough time to take your time to see the beauty around you and look for whales during the migration months. Look for water coming up from blowholes. Our guide was kind and attentive. He gave us a lot of information and even provided us a special treat at the end of the hike along with cold water. Highly recommend!

Great views and lots of whale sightings! Hike is paved but has hills. So much easier having a shuttle as parking would be a challenge.
