What HIKT Hikers are saying
HIKT Hiker Thoughts
"The HIKT is a challenging journey, but it comes when you need it most. The path and group create a space for healing, connecting, and growth. Ill treasure it always- "
"Following in ancient footsteps around the island of Hawaiʻi, the King’s Trail tests body and belief alike. It asks you to trust your footing on lava, your breath in the heat, and the deeper knowledge that you are capable of more than you think. In response to Wanna Go? I'm glad I "went" - I'm a stronger person for it. "
"It will always seem longer than what is listed. It will always be hotter than what was forecasted. It will always be harder than what you read. But half way through that first post-hike beverage, the experience of that hike will feel better than advertised."
"Hiking the kings trail is a great way to see firsthand how diverse the Hawaii island is. The variety in plant, beach, and lava formations are endless. Some segments are more risky and rugged, some segments are a walk through beautiful white sandy beach resorts. Definitely a great stroll to contemplate life and too, highly recommend."
"New trails, new friends. What's not to love? It's nice to not be the only one who thinks that logging these kinds of miles is a great way to spend the day."
“The King’s Trail asks everything of you—your feet on unbroken miles of lava beneath cloudless skies, your breath in the wind, your trust in the people beside you. Somewhere between the blisters and the vistas, strangers become family.”
