Overall Rating

Easy and informative
Reviewed by: Tritia , 2023/08/09It was great to have round trip transportation and everything provided such as waters, walking sticks, and bug spray. It was pouring rain when we went and the rain ponchos came in handy for $5. We felt very prepared for the hike along with information of its history and movie sites to look for. Was an enjoyable time

Incredible!!!
Reviewed by: Christine , 2021/11/28The greenery is the prettiest I’ve ever seen! Don’t focus on making it to the top and seeing the waterfall…the best part is the experience getting there!

Just a ride
Reviewed by: Jessica, 2019/04/14You are pretty much just paying for a ride there. It is a very pretty hike, I would make sure to wear shoes with traction as it does get pretty slippery towards the top. Q lot of good picture spots.

Well Worth It!!
Reviewed by: Kim Price , 2018/08/07It was our last day in Hawai’i. This hike was the best way to end our 7 day vacation! It was a great bonding time for me and my son! I have a chronic illness so for us to do this hike together is something that we will cherish forever. Walking, talking, and exploring this rainforest was a big hit. Thank you for offering this. Our young man that picked us up was great and helpful!

Expectations met
Reviewed by: Rose, 2017/10/25I wasn’t expecting much since it wasn’t a tour. The driver did drive by past places that have significance to President Obama. Beautiful waterfall! No need for a guide.

Manoa Falls Self Guided Hike
Reviewed by: Benita Meeks, 2017/07/01I am so glad we decided to take this hike through Veltra tours, we were provided with walking sticks (which you will definitely need), water and insect repellent. I am a 60 years young female with lower back arthritis, my girlfriend is 72 years young and we both survived and enjoyed it.. The scenery along the hike is beautiful. You should not wear your very nice gym shoes due to some mud and rocks along the way. Getting to the top (end of hike) seems to never come quick enough, but by the end of the hike when you see how beautiful the waterfall is, it becomes well worth it.

Hike to the Falls
Reviewed by: Jackie, 2017/04/23It was exciting walking through a rain forest and also a good cardio workout. Our group had walking sticks so it was beneficial where it was a bit rocky or wet. Just take your time going up or back down and enjoy the scenery.

Most exciting hiking!
Reviewed by: yuka, 2016/12/18It was a bit raining in the morning but the Monoa Falls was very very nice.
Our guide explained us very kind and neatly so we understood well.
You must need a shoe to go with.( Some people went there by Beach sandals and slipping over the mud)

Wonderful Day
Reviewed by: Grandpa & Grandma, 2016/09/25Our Transportation to Diamond Head was waiting for us as we exited the hotel about 5 minutes early. He was very nice and professional. He gave us good information about Diamond Head's history and the hiking trail. He returned, as promised, to pick us up and take us to Manoa Falls. Again he was very interesting and gave us info about the rain forest and the hike. Providing water and a hiking pole was very appreciated, and helpful. The company was very reliable, friendly and informative. We are in our 60's and were able to do both hikes in the same day.

July 2016 Hikes
Reviewed by: DennisM., 2016/07/30Both hikes were fantastic! My grandson enjoys hiking and loved both experiences. He especially enjoyed the Manoa Falls Trail hike. The sky was overcast and we got rained on several times, but that just added to the experience! We thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Fantastic!
Reviewed by: Jess, 2016/07/16Best tour of the trip this time . Walk to the manoa waterfalls, rainy and muddy . Full of fun! Remember to bring the insects repellent. Walking sticks from the tour company really help a lot!

wonderful hike
Reviewed by: bradb, 2016/06/25The shuttle driver was an expert at driving on tricky roads. It was great having water and a walking stick provided. And of course the scenery and waterfall were breathtaking.

two hikes
Reviewed by: jandg, 2016/06/04We did the Diamond Head and Manoa Falls hikes. Both were very different and beautiful in their own ways. We are glad we did the Diamond Head hike in the early hours and were able to do the Mania Falls hike during the heat of the day since it was a cooler hike. Advice: take plenty of bug spray for the Manoa Falls hike! And as a side note, Romero our tour driver was fantastic! He told us some local history and gave us advice on places to go and eat.

Perfect
Reviewed by: Lyn Marie, 2016/05/01This was just perfect for me and aside from the strong winds causing the visitor center to be closed , I was very happy I took the self guided tour and yet had the informative drive up to the drop off location with the added pointers, water and walking stick (it did come in handy but I could've done without it). It was a good value and our driver Romero , was great!

Well Worth It
Reviewed by: proudworld, 2016/01/25Helpful driver(young man but forgot name..sorry). Mosquito repellent and walking stick. Thought about taking bus, but the last stop is a bit of a distance from trailhead. This shuttle expedites the process. Picked up and dropped off at Waikiki hotel. If you have limited time on the island I would definitely recommend this tour. The hike itself is not overly demanding in dry conditions. Wife and I are in 50's and in so-so condition. I thought this was easier than Diamond Head hike, which wasn't difficult either. Probably an entirely different story if wet and rainy. Get off the beach and experience another aspect of the island. Enjoyed it.
