Not worth it.
Reviewed by: Unsatisfied, 2022/07/20The site says you see areas of where jurassic park and lost was filmed but the instructor didn't mention anything once. At the end of the tour she asked if I've seen the movies, and it didn't go further than that. She talked about how her tips were for her vacations. Google it. Save yourself money and take yourself on the tour.

Great beginner's hike
Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii, 2022/01/17Well-maintained trail that was mostly gravel. I'd recommend athletic shoes but you won't need hiking spikes. I wore regular running shoes. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot more about the Manoa Valley.
Mahalo for joining us during your Hawaiian vacation! We look forward to sharing more adventures with you the next time.

Worth the steps
Reviewed by: Cali girls , 2021/09/04Great tour guide unfortunately I can’t remember the gentleman name now. He is 3rd generation native very knowledgeable of the island. It definitely was a educational and beautiful time. I’m out of shape 51 years women & huffing and puffing but I made it all the way to the waterfall. I guess you could say I earned my photo shot! It is breathtaking the beauty of the whole path and so much green that surrounds you it’s definitely worth it. I just discovered Veltra and I plan to us them again, great service great price & great program.
Mahalo for your review! Your guide's name is Terii. Thanks for joining us and sharing your experience with others. Aloha

Honeymoon Getaway
Reviewed by: Ben and Meghan, 2021/08/07Our tour guide was a few weeks into his job but it felt like he has been doing this for years. As we drove through the island we were shown some landmarks and famous peoples houses. Once we got to the trail he proved us ponchos which we would come to need. The trail was fantastic. Even in the rain it was our first activity when we arrived and well worth it. Highly recommend people take the time to enjoy the waterfall and see this.
Mahalo for joining us on your honeymoon! We hope the rest of your stay was as scenic and romantic for you two. Congratulations from all of us

Very easy hike , beautiful waterfall.
Reviewed by: Rena, 2021/08/02The hike to the waterfall was very easy, our guide was very informative. It was awesome to be able to get right up next to the waterfall and take pictures. My daughter and I enjoyed it very much!!

Must see!
Reviewed by: Steph, 2019/05/14Our tour guide Mike was so friendly and gave us great tips on dining in the area on our bus trip to the hike. He made sure everyone was comfortable and got all the pictures they wanted. The walk up to the fall was beautiful, the waterfall was amazing! It was an easy hike but got muddy in a few spots so be careful!

Highly recommend these fellas... Small group and shows with their personal touches!! Two thumbs up & mahalo for a great hike!!!

Informative and fun!
Reviewed by: Summer, 2015/06/06Our guide really knew his stuff, and was a fun guy! It was nice to take a trail that not everyone takes as it had more of an adventurous feeling. It was beautiful, and the perfect length of time.

Waterfall Hike
Reviewed by: Mekhemar Family, 2013/07/22My husband and I took our 11 and 10 year old daughters. We ALL loved this hike. It was longer than I expected, but definately worth it! I really recommend the boots to avoid ruining your shoes. The hike can get a little tough, but if I did it...anyone can! Have fun and wait for the big surprise.

Highly recommended
Reviewed by: Mamacita, 2011/05/29We did the hike-only portion up to a waterwall. Beautiful rainforest hike on the way up, and impressively thick bamboo forest on the way back down. We appreciated that bug spray, water, and snacks were provided. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and patient with the occasional extra time it took our 6-year old daughter to navigate some slippery and steep areas. Bike Hawaii was understanding and flexible with us when we accidentally started on the wrong activity, and easily re-scheduled us to another day so we could enjoy the activity we meant to attend. I'm sure we will use their business again when we return to Oahu.
Sidenote: our transportation back to the hotel was a 6-seater vehicle, with 7 intended passengers. Much Thanks to the cab driver who insisted that it was not safe for me to simply "hold my daughter on my lap" for the return ride! I totally agree.

Rainforest Excursion
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/05/15It was such a beautiful experience to walk through a lush tropical rain forest. The hike was not strenuous, which allowed me to take in all of the beautiful sights and sounds of the rain forest. The waterfall was definitely the highlight of the hike. This is where we took a break and had plenty of photo opportunities. The pictures we took were so beautiful they could probably be used for a post card picture.

Aloha , I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment. While short segments of the movies were filmed at this location, we felt that it is worth mentioning due to their popularity. However, our hiking tours are more about the natural history and not the movies. We do apologize for the confusion.
