Waialae-Nui Lower is a community that overlooks Kalananiaole Highway, Kahala and Diamond Head. Above it you will find Waialae Iki, a gated community and the Wiliwilinui Trail, an intermediate trail which starts at the top of the Waialae Iki subdivision. As the H-1 freeway ends turn left up Laukahi Steet just past Kalani High School. You must go through security and get a pass before entering the upper end of the subdivision. There is plenty good parking at the entrance of the trail. Nearby communities are Aina Koa, Blackpoint, Kai Nani, Old Kahala, Waialae Beach, Waialae Gardens, Waialae Golf Course, Waialae Iki, Waialae Nui, Aina Haina, Wailupe, Hawaii Loa Ridge, Niu Peninsula & Beach, and Niu Valley. On the west side you will see Kaimuki, Lower Palolo, Maunalani Heights, St. Louis Heights, St. Louis Heights, and Upper Palolo.
Traveling to the east end of “Kalani Highway”, you will see Koko Crater, Olomana and Bellows Beach towards the windward side, and breathtaking views of Maunalua Bay at the base or entrance of Hawaii Kai. Just up the street on Puuikena Drive, there is also a quick, yet moderate to steep hike. To get to the hike, drive up the mountain road through the Mariner’s Ridge (in Hawaii Kai) community. The trail head is on a cul-de-sac, drive to the very top of Kaluanui Road in Mariner’s Ridge and park at the end. You’ll see a metal sign leading you to the trailhead on the east side of the last residence. Once you reach the top, there are magnificent views from the ridge of the southern edge of the Ko’olau range.
