Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This lighthouse can be best spotted from being up above on the hiking trail. The lighthouse is on the point facing the ocean just below the top viewpoint on the trail. The trail itself is paved but quite steep going uphill to the viewpoints near the top. It is also quite exposed to the elements so the trade winds increase as you go up. Also there is no shade here so go early in the day to avoid the heat.

I would not go out of my way for this one, but we were driving by and I figured why not check it out? The path is nice- fully paved. All uphill for about 1.3miles and then all down hill. You don't really get close to the lighthouse, but the view from the top is very lovely. If you have an hour, I would check it out.

We stoped at Makapuu Beach Park, you can see the lighthouse from there. Its small and up on the cliff, but you can see the top of it.

Although we couldn't see the lighthouse because it's on the other side of the hill from the viewing are and parking lot, the views were stunning.

You can see a gorgeous small beach from the lookout and some small islands.

A nice stop along the way if you want to stretch your legs.
