Description

This mellow 3-mile out-and-back hike passes through a series of lava fields along the shore of Maui from one of the most recent eruptions on the island in 1790. While the lighthouse is the final destination and turnaround point of this hike, many sources report that the lighthouse is unspectacular.

Don't expect a beautiful historic structure—instead, this lighthouse is merely bland and functional. The ultimate point of this hike is the beautiful surroundings along the way, so take your time and savor the journey!
