Kaʻena Point Trail Parking Farrington Highway, Waialua, HI 96791

Kaʻena Point Trail Parking is located at Farrington Highway, Waialua, Hawaii, United States. This parking area serves as the starting point for the trail to Ka‘ena Point Natural Area Reserve, a remote and scenic protected area on the westernmost point of O‘ahu. The trail follows an old railroad bed and former dirt road, offering stunning views of the coastline, native plants, seabirds, and even whales during the winter months.

Before visiting the park, it is recommended to monitor local surf and weather reports. The weather is typically sunny and hot, with windy conditions. Visitors are advised to bring a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water. The hike to Ka‘ena Point can take 1 to 3 hours, depending on your pace.

There are two routes to reach Ka‘ena Point from either the Wai‘anae side or the Mokule‘ia side. Both routes involve a 2.5-mile hike along a dirt roadway, with different landscapes and points of interest along the way. Visitors are reminded to stay on established paths, avoid damaging native flora, and watch for nesting seabirds.

Additionally, visitors are encouraged to help protect the marine environment by using the Marine Debris Drop-off Stations located along the coastal roads and trails. Marine debris poses a threat to marine life and shorelines, so it is important to properly dispose of any trash found during your visit.
