Koko Crater Tramway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Race against the sinking of the ☀️

"Just for Fun" Run up the old train tracks to Koko Head Crater.

Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with a spectacular panoramic view of Honolulu's east coast. A climb just before sunset is recommended.

View from the Koko Crater Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice views, extremely windy at the top. Trail extends along the ridge past the summit but is very narrow and not for kids.

Koko Crater Railway Trail

Highlight • Trail

This section of the climb is flat but holds another challenge. The bridge crosses a 40 feet drop, so if you're afraid of height, you better take the bypass that was created for those who want to avoid the bridge.

Koko Head Stairs

Highlight • Trail

Koko Head Stairs includes over 1,000 steps before you finally reach the top of Koko Crater. While climbing the stairs of the abandoned railway, you will gain about 880 feet in elevation. Most certainly a tough hike but a great workout with a rewarding view as well!
