The Sweeps Hiking Group

Join Randy for three days of exotic hiking along the diverse and beautiful trails of Oahu, Hawaii. The hikes will cover three different areas of the island, including the Waianae coast on the island's western shore, the rainforests of the Ko'olau Range, and the lush gardens of Waimea on the island's North Shore. The hikes will be relatively easy, with distances of less than 7 miles, and climbs of less than 1,000 feet. In addition to free time on Waikiki Beach, we will make visits to Hale'iwa Joe's for incredible prime rib, and Matsumoto's for incredible shave ice. We will probably hit the North Shore shrimp trucks as well.

I will be staying at a timeshare on Lewers Street in mid-Waikiki. Hotels in that area are showing rates of about $1,300 for 5 nights. Here is a search link for nearby hotels. https://www.kayak.com/hotels/Wyndham-at-Waikiki-Beach-Walk,Honolulu,Oahu,HI-p62566-h35087/2026-02-09/2026-02-14/2adults?ucs=1ydd0rd&sort=rank_a&fs=location=0.25mi__Wyndham%20at%20Waikiki%20Beach%20Walk__21.279268,-157.8308;property-type=apthotel,guesthouse,hostel,hotel,inn,resort
Round trip flights are currently running around $500. We will coordinate rental cars after all lodgings are booked. I have added some travel information in the Photos section of this posting.

In order to keep the group to a reasonable size, yet still ensure space for people who are really serious about going, I am going to implement the following method for getting signed up for the trip. Everyone who is planning to go will be placed on the trip waitlist. Once a person on the waitlist has secured lodging and/or flight reservations, they should text me at 925-518-8439. When I receive the commitment text, I will move them from the "Waitlist" to the "Going" list. Hopefully this approach will keep everybody happy .... my primary goal. ♥️🤠

You can text Randy at 925-518-8439 if you have any questions. I will be setting up a WhatsApp link for group coordination once we get closer to the trip start.

We will hike at an average to slower pace (25-30 mins per mile) so we can enjoy the experience while we get the heart pumping. Please update your RSVP if you cannot attend, so as many people as possible can enjoy this hike.
