The Lanikai Pillboxes are located on the east side of Oahu at 265 Kaelepulu Dr, Kailua, HI 96734. It's a popular hike and is for sure worth doing. The hike will take about 30 minutes to get to the first old military bunker. Once you're at the top, you get a 360 view of the entire area, it's breathtaking. You can park in the neighborhoods below the entrance, which is marked by this sign.
1 - It is not a paved trail. The path is loose gravel and dirt. Some parts are very steep and you will need to use your hands to climb.
2 - Kids can do the hike. It is rough, but they can do hard things.
3 - Wear tennis shoes.
4 - It is hot and there is no shade at the top, bring water. Sunscreen and hats as well.
5 - Go before 10 am on three day weekends. There is a new law that closes down street parking in the surrounding areas.
6 - The sign says 'slippery when wet' and it will be a mess if it is raining. Check the weather for rain before you go. Also make sure it's not too windy if you plan on spending time at Lanikai beach after.
