Oops, Teddys just moved to Waikiki Grand Hotel opposite the zoo (about 134 Kapahulu)`

Yes, the lighting installation is done. We were just there in mid June and the lights were already done. YEAH!

I agree, that small ladder to get to the very top is annoying! People trying to go up OR come down at the same time causes somewhat of a traffic jam!

Pacing and plenty of water besides getting there early, great advice!

Just take your time and try not to go on a very hot day. I did it without much effort and I am 6'7 330lb.

Hi, just got back. The 100 steps at the end had me out of breath and I work out five times a week! There were some people who bailed out before the 100 steps, it was just too much for them. However, my 7 year old did great! What was absolutely ridiculous was the number of people climbing in flip flops. These people are nuts. Some people didn't have any water either. Take your time, wear sneakers and a hat, bring water and it's fine. It was a highlight for my kids.

We did it last month. If you don't like the heat, start early. Clearly there are those people who shouldn't walk up any type of incline but frankly, it wasn't that difficult and the walk down was a breeze.
