Amazing!!!
Reviewed by: Dej, 2019/04/19Booking this tour was an excellent idea. Our tour guide picked us up at our designated location and we were on our way from there. Sky was extremely knowledgeable and we enjoyed our hike up to the falls. I am also extremely grateful for the walking sticks that were provided. Another thing I loved about the tour was that we were a small intimate group of 12. It made the tour personable. I definitely recommend this tour to those who want to take this hike.

Manoa Falls excursion / hike
Reviewed by: Edward Stringer, 2019/01/20From pick up to dro off everything went smoothly and I felt each of us got personal attention. It is rare to learn so much interrelated information (history, politics, economics, biological, environmental and ecological) so clearly in a short time. Our guide Brianna (sp) was bright, humorous and personal. Her knowledge both of Manoa Falls and Honolulu in general was most appreciated. I would strongly recommend this tour.
Dear Edward, Thank you for your thoughtful words and very kind review! :) We are truly grateful to all guests and visitors who express their appreciation of our services. I will definitely let Brianna know too! :D This is exactly what we had in mind, to show our guests all the beautiful natural locations around the whole island while they learn about our history, culture, legends and unique species. :))) Mahalo Nui Loa for joining us and hope to see you again one day! :))) Cecilia, Jodi and the Oahu Nature Tours Team

I will recommend my friend for this tour.
Reviewed by: AAO, 2018/07/18It was excellent! I felt lots of nature and made me forget my busy regular life. Also, thanks to the professional tour guide, it was even more fun. I could know the history of Manoa, what kind of plants there are, which movies of the backdrop, and the safety instruction.
Aloha,
Do you happen to remember the name of your tour guide? We would like to acknowledge our guides for their good work!
Thank you,

Manoa Falls hike
Reviewed by: Kathy G, 2018/06/28Sky was an amazing guide! He was sooooo knowledgeable and made our hike memorable. It was a beautiful place to hike and Sky gave us the origins of many of the plants and trees and animals not only living in the rain forest but on the island. The hike itself was pretty easy in most places til getting closer to the falls. It was pretty slippery but every step was worth it. It was simply breathtaking. I definitely recommend Sky as a guide.
Aloha Kathy, Thank you very much for your thoughtful words and very kind review! :) We are truly grateful to our all guests and visitors who express their appreciation of our services. I will definitely let your guide and driver know too that you enjoyed your adventure with us! :D This is exactly what we had in mind, to show our guests all the beautiful natural locations around the whole island while they learn about our history, culture, legends and unique species. :)))
We are trying to interweave our islands' captivating natural history with interesting local economics, biological, environmental and ecological information. Mahalo Nui Loa for joining us and hope to see you again one day! :))) Noelani and the Oahu Nature Tours Team

Our favorite excursion this trip!
Reviewed by: MegL, 2018/05/29This was a great morning! The hike was mostly very easy, a few slippery parts, and a few muddy parts. It was mostly shaded, and through some extremely beautiful parts of the forest. I strongly recommend this trip! You could do it on your own, the trail is well-marked, but the guide added a lot of great information to it. Wear a little bug spray, bring some old comfortable shoes, and enjoy.

It was ok
Reviewed by: Shana, 2017/12/10It was a very long hike which I didn't mind but I didn't feel the falls was worth that big of a hike. My tour guide, Sage was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Awesome hike and guide!
Reviewed by: Carol Fernandez, 2017/10/19It was a little harder than I expected but the hike was great! Very knowledgeable guide (Jim) and beautiful rainforest. Although we didn't encounter any rain it is suggested you bring a raincoat or poncho. There were some slippery spots so be sure to where appropriate shoes. Expect to come home muddy but well worth it! Jim was awesome. If I ever come back and do that hike again I will definitely request his route!

Manoa Falls 2017
Reviewed by: Henry, 2017/06/05Great hike in the rain. It was a great time up the mountain to view the waterfalls. It was a little wet but well worth it in the end. We saw lots of beautiful mountains and rainforests. It was wet on top but the rain had stopped by the time we got to the bottom. Would do it again if I ever had the opportunity to do so. Well worth it.

Lovely Day Hiking
Reviewed by: Claire, 2016/11/14Jim and Ken were lovely and informative, extremely helpful and funny! The hike was easy enough (with a few rough spots) but overall not too difficult to hike. The guys were full of information on the way to and from the hike, and also during with information on most of the plants and wildlife. Highly recommended. :)

Amazing
Reviewed by: PRYOR, ARIEL, 2016/10/08Realizing that you could have walked up for free was kind of a bummer. But you get to learn about the land and why we are seeing so many different plants that really shouldnt be here. We also learned about why we are hea ring birds that normally wouldn't migrate this far.

Nice Trek to an Awesome Waterfall
Reviewed by: JPCamper, 2016/07/11This was a great little hike through the jungle trail to the Manoa Falls. There were many sites to see along the way, both out and back, and the guides were extremely informative and knowledgeable about the area and the island. My only suggestion would be to pack your own light-weight rain poncho (this is the rainier part of the island) just in case. We did and only needed them for about the first 10 minutes. Aside from that, everything else that was listed in the description was provided.

Nae-Nae the Dinosaur and the group!
Reviewed by: Franklin F, 2016/02/26This hike was great! Paul was our tour guide who introduced us to Nae-Nae the dinosaur. Our group and others were posing with the prop as it fits well with the background. The guide was very informative and awesome. The hike is moderate so the walking sticks the tour provides helps tremendously. As you arrive you hear many birds and can see them in the trees.

Great experience
Reviewed by: Jennifer, 2015/11/14Our guide was amazing. He was extremely knowledgable about the different vegetation surrounding the falls. We learned about the reforrestation process surrounding the falls with both native Hawaiian plants and those trees from other countries. The views of the falls were amazing so were the views of the valley below as we hiked toward the falls. Great experience.
Aloha Jennifer,
Thank you so much for your great review! We are glad you enjoyed the tour of Manoa Valley, and all the natural beauty that Hawaii has to offer. We hope you join us for another tour the next time you are vacationing here on Oahu.

Land of the Lost - Jurassic Park
Reviewed by: Jersey Girl, 2015/08/03Informative, breath of fresh air (literally), adventurous and unforgettable!!! The networking and team building that was done on the hike is one of the most unforgettable moments thus so far in my adult life. Being this was my first solo vacation I was paired up with the tour guide. He looked to be a little skeptical about the city girl in Michael Kors sneakers being his hiking buddy. :) But after being the first person to reach the bottom of the mountain with out falling and no assistances (and even assisting others along the way) he beamed with pride. Plus , I am a Jurassic Park fan!!! So the movie production information was one of my favorite highlights.
Aloha,
Thank you so much for your great review. We absolutely love hearing that our guests have had this kind of an experience. It truly embodies the nature of the tours our company aims to give everyone. The trail is a beautiful one, and we are glad to have been a part of your wonderful journey.
Mahalo and we hope to see you again the next time you are in Oahu!

The tour consists of going to a beautiful rainforest. Walking up beautiful historic terrain with massive trees and a beautiful waterfall to end the trip. Highly reccommneded to anyone from families with kids of about 5yrs of age and above. My children ages 8 and 9 enjoyed it thoroughly. The guides are also very informative about the subjrban areas on the way to the destination and surrounding terrain.
