Kamiloiki Ridge geographically separates two of Hawaii Kai's older neighborhoods: farm-strewn Kamilonui Valley and house-crowded Kamiloiki Valley. The trail is not a constructed trail by any means. But its barely worn footpath, ungraded over rocks and ankle-high shrubery, is easy to follow.

| Just beyond the small forest at the top is the Koolau crest perched high above Kaiona Beach Park on Waimanalo's most southerneast side.
This trail is not an official trail for hiking nor promoted by any private landowner as one. It resides entirely on private property and there is no formal permit process. | |
|
The ridge tops out at the Koolau crest at approximately 1,200-ft elevation. Remember this obscure junction for your return-trip! Turn right (east) and head uphill for a few minutes.

At the top is a wonderful shady pine-forested lunch spot carpeted with a thick layer of pine needles (elev. 1,360-ft).
Pahua Heiau is at the end of Makahuena Place - a short road one block mauka of Waioli Street.
| |
|
Waioli Street connects to Hawaii Kai Drive (the Mariner's Cove portion) which is one block from Lunalilo Home Road.
| |
|
In other words, if you how to get to Kalama Valley from the heart of Hawaii Kai, instead of taking the right turn (uphill) past Kamiloiki Elementary School, turn left after the Mariner's Cove Clubhouse (onto Hawaii Kai Dr) and head one block down to Waioli Street.
