Not only is Hawaii Loa Ridge home to one of the best neighborhoods on the island of Oahu, but it's home to great hiking also.
In the neighborhood of Hawaii Loa Ridge you will find some of the most exquisite homes with breathtaking views. See for yourself, I've included a video link for a walk through I did on a property that a client is considering. If you are looking for a secured neighborhood with gorgeous views all the way from Portlock to Diamond Head this is your neighborhood.
Since Hawaii Loa Ridge is about as secure as Fort Knox you'll need to make sure that you show up early in the morning if you want to get in and go hiking (they only allow 10 non-resident vehicles at a time). You'll also need to have a Hawaiian resident in the car with you who has a Hawaii drivers license. After you get through all of the formalities just take the nice long drive up the hill and you'll happen upon the trail head where the views are already fantastic (Diamond Head in the distance with the Gold Coast to the right and Kahala to the left).
Along the way you'll be able to enjoy more of the fantastic views this ridge has to offer.
At the end you should have a fabulous view. I say "should" because my wife and I have not yet been lucky enough to make it to the top. Our good ol' friend Mr. Rain made our descent a little premature. Note, It generally rains around midday, so if you don't want to go down the hill via slipping and falling because of the mud then I would suggest you embark upon your hike by 10:00am. If you're still wondering what the view looks like from the top then you'll have to visit this hiking site because they apparently did what I was not fortunate enough to do... reach the top.
