Another great environmental conscious piece. Loved it. Learning much about the Hawaiian nature watching your work. Too bad I cant do this hike since I can only drive rental cars on paved road. So I appreciate this piece more. 🤙
Beautiful, I have a question. I'm taking my children ages 6 & 8yrs old up to this hike for educational purposes about our native kahuli. Unfortunately we do not have a 4x4 so we are renting a jeep from Turo. Is there a security guard gate to pass? and if yes, do they need registration & insurance? also how is this hike for keiki? My children have done other hikes with Protect & Preserve, so they have some experience. Sorry for all the questions but you folks are expert on this hike. I love it :)
Hii! That's awesome you're taking the keiki with you! There is no security so no need to show registration and insurance. As long as you have the permit which will give you the code to the lock since you'll have to go through a locked gate. Poamoho is fairly easy pretty flat for the most part. It is long, but it's nothing strenuous or difficult. If it's been super rainy and wet, it might take a bit longer to hike. Getting to the kahuli area (you'll come across a sign shortly after going through a gate on the path) will take about 1.25 hour in. The first landmark is the bench that has the poamoho sign and that takes like 50min-1 hr in. Hope to bump into you guys at protect and preserve one day :). Mahalo for watching
If the road is dry, it’s not that bad. But if it’s wet and muddy, it can get really slick where the 4WD is a must. We don’t have the off roading tires and instead we have the hybrid tires. There are parts where the road is narrow where both sides are just drop offs and so when it’s wet, just gotta drive real carefully.
