Aloha Friday: Tantalus Hike

In theory, Tantalus is nothing more than a cylindrical cone point in the southern Koʻolau Mountain range on Oahu’s South Side. In reality, though, it’s a magical change of atmosphere a few miles up and away from he bustling city of Honolulu. It boasts spectacular 360-degree of the island’s staggeringly varied landscape and a criss-crossed frenzy of trails and loops that traverse all over its forested point.

There’s trails off shooting the main lo0ps at every turn; you can ascend to the top for picturesque views or weave deeper into the forest through gigantic trees, bamboos, and sporadic clearings.

So close to the city, Tantalus provides a gorgeous and well-deserved escape into the Hawaiian jungle. And I’ve only seen very little of it’s beauty 🙂

Happy Hiking!
