If you're looking for a challenging, quick hike with gorgeous 360-degree views, head over to Koko Crater. This extinct volcano crater used to house a railroad jutting up the near vertical side of the volcano crater and was used as a bunker during WWII. Some remnants still remain today and are now used to perch upon the best lookout spots to ooo and ahh over views of Diamond Head, Moanalua Bay, and out towards Makapu'u on the Eastern Shores of Hawaii Kai.

When I used to live in Hawaii Kai when I attended UH Manoa, this was my exercise five days a week, since I lived right across the street. I lovingly call this climb "The Stair Master of Death"

TIP: Go early for sunrise to beat the heat, or go late for sunset when it isn't as crowded. If you go in the evening, be sure to bring a headlamp to safely make your way back down. Bring water and your camera, and be careful after heavy rain when the steps can be slippery. This hike is not for the faint of heart or those with a severe fear of heights.

Overall it was a great stay and we will definitely be back. Great amenities and the convenience of the Tikis Bar & Grill was so sweet!! The only thing I wish was available is… to have the gym open 24 hours. Closing at 10pm is unnecessary when a hotel is open with staff 24 hours a day.
