Three people were rescued from the Wiliwilinui Ridge Trail in Wailupe this evening after they left the trail and got lost, the Honolulu Fire Department reported.

HPD said it received a call at around 7:30 p.m. today about two men and a woman, all in their 20s, who left the marked trail and were unable to make their way back to it.

Honolulu rescue personnel established a landing zone for HFD’s Air 1 helicopter. Other HFD personnel made their way up the trail by foot.

Air 1 was able to drop off rescue personnel to the hikers’ location at around 8:15 p.m. The hikers were then flown to the landing zone, with no injuries, at around 9:20 p.m.
