Koko Crater rises in the distance on the island of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi, seen from the Makapuʻu Lightouse Trail during our 2023 Hawaiʻi trip.
As we walked up the trail on our way to Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse, we stopped a few times to enjoy the view. And to catch our breath, as it was a slightly steep climb, even though the trail was paved. I loved this view of the shore and Koko Crater off in the distance. The blue water with the white waves at the shore is a perfect foreground companion to the volcanic crater rising in the distance.

Yes, if you are keeping score at home, I have posted another photo from this location in addition to the photos in Part 6 of the trip report. But to a guy who has spent most al of his life in flat, dry West Tennessee, I could never get enough of views like this one. So when I was looking through photos from our trip to find one to share, this one immediately jumped out at me. I think you can see why.
The view from Makapuʻu Point on the island of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi, as seen during our June 2023 Hawaiʻi Trip.
During our trip, we had hiked up the trail to see the Makapuʻu Lighthouse. But before we climbed, I was not quite expecting to see the view that we found there.
As our Hawaiʻi trip in June 2023 continues, we drive through the mountains to church and then hike to a lighthouse. If you have not done so already, you might want to read the previous part.
Sunday, June 18, 2023 Once again, we followed our usual routine of getting up at 7:00 AM and eating breakfast on the Riedels’ balcony. We are definitely creatures of habit. No complaints from any of us about that.
