Worth it! - 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.

Lighthouse trail - If want to hike the lighthouse trail mostly, it is a good way to get there and back. Plenty of time to hike the trail and enjoy the scenery.

Definitely worth it! - Shuttle was good, driver nice. The trail was all paved but decently challenging. I would definitely recommend doing it early in the day. Views were spectacular!

The Makapu'u Lighthouse... - The Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail is a fully paved trail that takes you to gorgeous views of the lighthouse and ocean. However, don't expect to be able to actually visit the lighthouse as it is an active aid to navigation and there is no path you are allowed to take. But the views of the surrounding area are fantastic. If you go in the winter months you may see whales. We only saw one whale and it was very far out, and it only broke the surface of the ocean once, and mostly just slapped the water with its tail. But it is definitely worth it for the views.
