Mahana Ridge Trail

"Jungle hike! We hiked for probably a couple of hours and decided to turn back because we got tired and hungry, but this trail seems to go on for probably 20 miles!"

"Very long trail! Not really sure where it leads or how long it really goes, but it was really beautiful. After 2 miles we turned around because our toddler couldn’t really climb over boulders, but she loved the rest of the hike."

"This is a good hike overall, but tiring. Reserve at least 6 hours for it, half an hour more if you going to eat in picnic area or otherwise stop for passion fruits or guavas. People who said 4 hours either ran all the time or simply didn't make it till the end. I would appraise this hike as moderate if it wasn't so long, so I mark it as"hard" for most of the people. It totalled 30000 steps, therefore 20 kilometers or around 12.5 miles. Incline is very moderate, steps are rare and 90% of the trail is shady. We took 1.75l of water (almost half gallon) for 2 people and it was enough. Most people should take more. Hat is a must. Trail was very dry (done in October 2023). Trail starts near preschool, so park at the beach. Signs posted all around, many of them bleached. Ferns are very scratchy at the last hour of walking, happily they don't last long."

"Great hike and trail! We did about 2 miles in from the start then turned around, and loved every minute of it! Would definitely come back better prepared and go for the whole 17 mile round trip!"

"Definitely a workout of a trail. Out and back it can be as long as 10 miles but the nice part is that you can go as far as you feel like. I only went about 2.5 miles in and started from the beach near the Ritz. Bring plenty of water as it’s a steady climb upwards. I would also suggest starting early as the sun can be kinda brutal, I decided to leave at 1pm and wish Inhad left earlier. The trail is overgrown in a lot of places, so prepare for torso high vegetation, but keep an eye on the ground and you’ll be fine. I wish I made it to some of the more scenic overlooks but the view wasn’t bad at all. You’ll go under a bridge, across a golf course, and even past a grove of baby palm trees. I usually high in sneakers as I don’t like hiking boots, but here the ankle support would be nice as it’s rocky and easy to roll an ankle if you aren’t paying attention."
