Bored over spring break? There are many things to do on the island with the family or even alone. Here are some things students should do if they are bored during spring break.

Go on hikes

Going on hikes can be easy, and some can be hard. Some of the easier hikes/trails are Diamond Head and Makapu’u Lighthouse Hike.

• Diamond Head is a moderately easy hike. It takes around 40 minutes to get to the top. Most of the hike is rocky trails and stairs. At the top, there is a great view of the pacific ocean.
• Makapu’u Lighthouse hike is also easy. It takes about 25 minutes to get to the top. The hike offers great coastal views of the island, and towards the end of the hike you can see the lighthouse.
• If you are looking for a more difficult hike, Koko Head is a good option. Many people are afraid to hike it because of the steepness of the hike. The view at the end is nice as well. Depending on how active and fit you are, the hike takes about 20-40 minutes to complete.
