Koko Crater Trail Hours
Koko Crater Trail is open 24×7 throughout the year.
That being said, most people hike during daylight hours for obvious reasons.
Hiking Koko Crater Trail is very difficult after dark, even with headlamps and torches.
Despite this, you’ll find many hikers on the Koko Crater Trail pre-dawn to catch the sunrise views from the summit, and hikers plodding their way down after viewing the sunset from the top.
Note that the Koko Head District Park parking lot official hours of operation are 4:00 am to 11:00 pm.

What time does the Koko Crater Trail open?
The Koko Crater Trail is open 24×7 daily, throughout the year!
However, if you are planning an early morning hike to view the sunrise, note that the Koko Head District Park parking lot opens only at 04:00 am.
If you plan to come in earlier or stay after 11:00 pm (when the parking lot closes), explore other parking options.

What time does the Koko Crater Trail close?
As detailed above, the Koko Crater Trail has no official closing time, it is open all day, every day!
Note, though, that the best parking option for the trail, the Koko Head District Park parking lot, closes at 11:00 pm. If you’re planning a late night hike, make sure you get back before then!
