Oʻahu is a hiker's paradise, with dozens of state-run trails snaking all over the island. Here are the Top 5 Oʻahu hikes picked by our readers in our 2024 Readers' Choice Awards.

1. Diamond Head Summit Trail

The trail that leads up to the summit of Lēʻahi (aka Diamond Head) is one of the most popular on Oʻahu, with more than 3,000 people hiking it every day. The 0.8-mile trek is almost entirely uphill-and hot-to the top of one of Hawaiʻi's most recognizable landmark. The trailhead is located in the 475-acre Diamond Head State Monument, which now requires reservations and a $5 entry fee for non-residents. The walk to the summit is a glimpse into the geological and military history of this crater. Head up along switchbacks, through a 225-foot tunnel and up a ton of stairs to the top, where you can see bunkers and a huge navigational lighthouse built in 1917. Plus, the panoramic view of Oʻahu's south shore is breathtaking.

2. Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail

The 2-mile trek to the top of Makapuʻu meanders the island's rugged southeastern coastline-and the ocean views are spectacular. The trail is paved-great for kids, leashed dogs and strollers-and hugs the Kaiwi State Scenic Shoreline, along which you can spot native plants, remnant fortifications and the historic Makapuʻu Lighthouse. At the top you'll be rewarded with views of Waimānalo and the offshore islets Mānana and Kāohikaipu, both state seabird sanctuaries. During the winter you can see North Pacific humpback whales playing in the warm waters.

3. 'Aiea Loop Trail

This popular, 5-mile loop trail in ʻAiea-about 14 miles from Waikīkī-runs along the ridge of the west side of Hālawa Valley, with views of the southern coast of Oʻahu from Pearl Harbor to the Waiʻanae Range. It's a relatively easy hike through the foothills of the Koʻolau Range, through groves of native trees like ʻiliahi (sandalwood), koa, ʻōhiʻa and alaheʻe. Much of the area was replanted by foresters in the late 1920s; you'll smell the fragrance of lemon eucalyptus trees and see the stands of Norfolk Island pines. See if you can find the remnants of a B-24 bomber that crashed in 1944.

4. Kuli'ou'ou Ridge Trail

This trail is one of three state-run trails that start in East Honolulu and end at the summit of the Koʻolau Mountains, overlooking Waimānalo. This one, which starts in the residential neighborhood of Kuliʻouʻou, is about 2 miles (roundtrip) that starts under the shade of ironwood trees along a well-graded path and opens into a ridge hike with stairs to the top. If you're lucky you may spot the friendly ʻelepaio (monarch flycatcher).

5. Kamanaiki Ridge Trail

The hardest of all five of these trails, this 5-mile hike along an ungraded ridge in Kalihi is not for first-timers. It can be steep and narrow in sections-and sometimes muddy-with some areas overgrown with shrubs like ōwī and lantana. For the most part, the trail is easy to follow, with views of the valley and the Koʻolau Mountains along the way. The trail ends at a flat, grassy area with commanding views of the back of Kalihi Valley and the Koʻolau summit.

Pohnpei, formerly Ponape, high coral-capped volcanic island, eastern Caroline Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, western Pacific Ocean.

Pohnpei: airport runway and seaport Gargoylepni

Pohnpei is roughly square in shape; it is well watered and hilly (rising to Dolohmwar, 2,595 feet [791 metres] above sea level) and is surrounded by a barrier reef with many small islets. Its fertile soil and heavy rainfall result in luxuriant tropical foliage, and the island has been called the "garden of Micronesia." It has mangrove swamps along its coasts and rainforests in the central hilly area. Situated near Pohnpei are the low-lying coral atolls Oroluk, Pakin, and Ant to the west; Ngatik, Nukuoro, and Kapingamarangi to the southwest; and Mokil and Pingelap to the east. Most of the coral atolls are wooded and support coconut palms. The people of the island and its surrounding atolls, with the exception of the Polynesian inhabitants of Nukuoro and Kapingamarangi, are Micronesians.

In the lagoon on the eastern coast of Pohnpei is Nan Madol, or Nanmadol, a group of 92 prehistoric artificial platform islands built in the lagoon and surrounded by man-made canals. Ruins of a town and ceremonial centre of the early 2nd millennium ce include tombs of former kings, belonging, according to tradition, to the Sau Deleur dynasty that once ruled the whole island.

Though Pohnpei was much visited by whalers and traders, it was not until the mid-19th century that Christian missionaries established schools there. Spanish administration was followed by German possession after 1898. The Germans promoted the production of copra. After World War I, Japan was given mandate over Micronesia under the League of Nations, and Pohnpei was made one of the administrative centres. During World War II Pohnpei's Japanese garrison was bypassed by the Allies and isolated prior to its surrender. The island was part of the United Nations Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands from 1947 until the dissolution of the Trust Territory in 1986.

Pohnpei yields a wide variety of tropical products, including copra, breadfruit, taro, trochus shells, and cacao. Rice is grown, pigs and poultry are raised, and fish are caught. The main coastal villages are Kolonia, Madolenihmw, and Rohnkiti. Pohnpei has an international airport and is the site of the College of Micronesia-FSM. Palikir, near Kolonia, is the capital of the Federated States of Micronesia. Total land area 129 square miles (334.1 square km). Pop. (2010) island, 36,196.

Ask anyone who's been to Honolulu and they'll tell you the city is a paradise for food lovers. And they're correct, whatever you wish to eat you'll find a tasty representation of it on the island. But beyond the buffets, burgers, fine dining and touristy luaus, Hawaiian food is one of the world's most delectable and adaptive cuisines. As Hawaii's biggest and most visited city, Honolulu is a dream destination for trying all manner of Hawaiian food.

Here's our look at some of the islands' most authentic grinds and the Honolulu restaurants and other establishments that do these treats the most onolicious justice.

Kalua Pork

Traditionally in Hawaii, this slow-cooked pork is cooked in the ground with hot stones, but if cooked low and slow with the right seasoning it can be replicated in a conventional oven. You can find this dish as the centerpiece of a luau, it's also on the menu at local restaurants and the boards of street vendors. A hands-down favorite for kalua pork - and just about any other traditional Hawaiian dish - is Helena's Hawaiian Food. This low key family-owned, James Beard award-winning restaurant has been wowing local and visiting palates since 1946. The kalua pork is cooked in an imu here (underground with hot stones).

Laulau

Laulau (or lau lau) is another traditional Hawaiian pork dish. Although today it's possible to have chicken, fish and other types of laulau as well. The dish is prepared by taking the meat and wrapping it in taro leaves and then steaming it until the leaves and filling are ultra tender. Laulau usually is served with a side of rice or macaroni salad. Two standout places to have a luscious laulau in Honolulu are the laidback Young's Fish Market restaurant and at Keoki's Lau Lau factory where more than 7,000 laulua are made daily.

Loco Moco

The classic Hawaiian comfort food dish, loco moco, consists of white rice topped with a hamburger patty, a fried egg and loads of brown gravy. Yeah - it's epic - and designed to be worked off hiking in a rainforest or surfing monster waves. Two of Honolulu's most over-the-top takes on loco moco can be feasted upon at the historic Rainbow Drive-In and old school diner Liliha Bakery.

Plate Lunch

A plate lunch (also known as a mixed plate) is just as it sounds, a plate with a mix of items - most likely a couple of scoops of white rice, macaroni salad, and an entrée. Whether grabbing a bite at a gas station or a sit-down restaurant, it's the way to go for many Hawaiians when it's time for lunch. Its origins can be traced to the Japanese bento. Given the east-meets-west wonder of Hawaiian cuisine and Honolulu's embrace of traditional and immigrant cultures (and American style portions), the typical plate lunch tends to be a much mightier and more cosmopolitan option next to the comparatively dainty bento. Locals rave about the Korean plate lunches at Soon's Kal Bi Drive In. Island Style BBQ Corporation does a hearty plate too (the Portuguese sausage is particularly yummy here).

Poke

Oh sure, these days poke is one of the world's trendiest foods (and with good reason - it's scrumptious), but it's originally from Hawaii. With first dibs on fresh mid-Pacific catches of fish and seafood (and the most amazing ahi tuna on the planet), the poke here is still arguably the best. There's a range of optimal options for poke these days, but top spot for a big bowl of this diced raw fish nosh has got to be standard bearer Ono Seafood.

Saimin

Hawaiian noodle soup, saimin, is a little bit like Japanese ramen with Chinese mein and Filipino pancit influence. The broth is clear and chances are it'll contain loads of green onions, fishcakes and pork or some other meat. It's deeply delicious and as slurp-worthy as a soup can be. For the biggest bowls and the fullest flavor head to Jane's Fountain where the shrimp-based broth has been soothing appetites for more than six decades and the even older Palace Saimin, where the recipe for its broth has been a guarded family secret since 1946.

Shaved Ice

You gotta have a shaved ice when you're in Hawaii. And if you're in Honolulu, Waiola Shave Ice is the hottest place to cool down. Flavors? They've got 'em all. For a tangy kick have your cone of sweet flaky ice topped with li hing mui (salty dried plum powder).

Chuuk Islands, formerly Truk Islands or Hogoleu Islands, cluster of 16 much-eroded high volcanic islands in the Federated States of Micronesia, western Pacific Ocean.

The name Chuuk means "high mountains" in the Chuukese language, one of several Malayo-Polynesian languages that are used in the islands. The Chuuk Islands, which form part of the eastern Caroline Islands, are encircled by a barrier bank composed of some 85 sand and coral islets. The bank (often referred to as a reef) encloses a lagoon 822 square miles (2,129 square km) in area and has a diameter of some 40 miles (65 km). Chief islands of the group are Weno (formerly Moen), Tonoas, Fefan, Uman, Uatschaluk (Udot), and Tol.

The islands were sighted by the Spanish explorer Álvaro Saavedra in 1528. They were visited occasionally by 19th-century traders and whalers and were included in the German purchase of parts of Micronesia from Spain (1899). Annexed by Japan (1914) and strongly fortified for World War II, the islands (known as the Truk Islands until 1990) were heavily attacked, bypassed, and blockaded by the Allies during the war. The sunken hulls of Japanese ships remain there, along with ruined weapons and fortifications on land. Together with the other islands in what are now the Federated States of Micronesia, the Chuuk group was part of the U.S.-administered United Nations Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands from 1947 to 1986.

The high islands of the Chuuk group have mangrove swamps along their coasts, as well as rainforests in the central mountainous areas. The native people are Micronesians who fish, raise pigs and poultry, and grow taro, breadfruit, yams, and bananas. Copra is the chief cash crop. The islands are popular with scuba divers, who come to explore the lagoon's shipwrecks, many of which have become foundations for new reef growth. The largest urban area is on Weno; the rest of the population resides mostly in traditional villages scattered around the islands. Chuuk has a commercial dock and an international airport, both located on Weno. Total land area 49.1 square miles (127.2 square km). Pop. (2010) 48,654.
