Step out of your beach sandals and into your hiking boots, because the Hawaii known to many as the idyllic land of palm trees, grass skirts and mai tais has a flip-side ... a dramatic and stunning natural wilderness which just begs to be explored.

Hawaii's trails lead you along spectacular coastal paths and through dense jungle landscapes to towering waterfalls, remote swimming holes and inside some of the biggest volcanoes on the planet.

Originally a small aside to our Northern California exploits, our hiking trails of Hawaii have become a popular feature of Trailspotting. We've hiked, mapped and photographed every trail we feature on our site which is how we can provide you with the most accurate and comprehensive information possible.

Use our interactive Google Map above to explore some of the best hiking trails on the Aloha isles, select the trail of your choice and click through for detailed information on each hike.

Sorry - no Oahu trails yet. If anyone would like to gift us some tickets then we'd love to go however ;-)
