One of the best activities you can engage in when visiting the Hawaiian Islands is to take an Oahu hike. The island of Oahu has about fifty hiking trails. Of these, 33 are considered major trails. They vary in difficulty from novice to advanced and in length from two to fifteen miles.
Oahu is partitioned into districts. The Leeward coast is on the western side of the island and includes the Waianae Mountain Range and the Honolulu Forest Reserve.
