Manoa Valley Jurassic Rainforest & Waterfall Hiking Tour with Transportation

Easy and informative

Reviewed by: Tritia , 2023/08/09

It 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

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - Haleiwa, Kualoa Beach & Dole Plantation

Worth every penny!

Reviewed by: E Jones, 2023/07/03

Our family of 4 loved the variety of this tour! We have 2 older teenage boys (17 and 19) and our family loves to travel! The hike was a great way to start the trip! It was so beautiful going up and WOW, the view at the top is spectacular! The next stop was a food truck that had malasadas….don’t miss this! Yumm, my boys LOVED them! The rest of the tour was fantastic and the guide offered so much history detail and information! All the stops were great and we especially loved the north shore!

Diamond head hike

Reviewed by: Eelaeng Diaz , 2023/05/13

We had the best time. Loved everything about it. Our tour guy Jonah was amazing and very knowledgeable. Took our time since we were a smaller group. The diamond head hike was a bit harder than we thought with the baby but we took our time and made it up there. What a beautiful view!! It was worth it!!! Do not regret anything about this tour! It was amazing!!! The dole whip ice cream was amazing. The Lenard’s malasada was amazing too. Saw a few turtles and the food trucks was so delicious. We really enjoyed our time on this tour and we totally recommend to do this tour if you’re ever in Oahu Hawaii!!!

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - Haleiwa, Kualoa Beach & Dole Plantation

Safe but boring

Reviewed by: Paula Cradduck , 2023/01/11

John was a nice man and a good driver. We tried to encourage conversation with information about our tour but it didn’t help. A gentleman on the bus gave more information because he had taken a similar tour in June. John did not put his headset on only lifted it occasionally to talk. Like I said a nice man but the tour was long, quiet and boring. Thankfully the other passengers were friendly. Thank you

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - Haleiwa, Kualoa Beach & Dole Plantation

good overview of the island

Reviewed by: J.L., 2022/12/12

Our tour guide was very accomodating and had lots of helpful hints.

Have breakfast before starting, because the Diamond Head hike isn't a leisurely stroll in the park... you're going uphill a long way and it'll make you sweat!
Bringing a flashlight would be a good idea, because the majority of the hike is on an unpaved and and sometimes uneven path. Which can be a problem for a pre-dawn hike.
We didn't exactly get to see the sun rise per se. We arrived at the top in plenty of time, there were some clouds on the horizon.
Go inside the bunker, all the way to the back, to access the spiral interior staircase to complete the pathway loop. Seems like a lot of people aren't aware that they need to go into the bunker to do that.

I'd recommend having at least $30 per person in cold hard cash on hand, to pay for lunch etc.

If you don't wear sneakers, you could have a little trouble walking over seaside areas with sharp lava rock...

Comments from activity operators

Hello J.L,

Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a had a good time with John. The weather in December is really like our rainy season so it has been very cloudy recently in the early mornings. Sneakers are definitely recommended especially for the hiking part. But we are glad you had a good time on the tour and we hope you enjoyed your entire stay in Hawaii.

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - Haleiwa, Kualoa Beach & Dole Plantation

Fun day with all the Hawaii must sees!

Reviewed by: Jill Castro, 2022/07/03

The day was perfect. It was an early start but I honestly couldn’t imagine doing Diamond Head any later. Bring water bottles or you’ll be thirsty! Then we got to stop at the Leonard’s bakery truck which is one of the must haves while you are here!! From there you make 7-8 stops at all the iconic beaches, food stops and more! Our tour guide was amazing. He wasn’t overly talkative which we all appreciated so we could have some conversation but he was super knowledgeable and told us some super awesome things about Hawaii and the local secrets! We decided as a group to skip the last beach because we were all beat from the full day but I would totally recommend anyone looking to see all the things while in Hawaii!!

Great full day adventure!

Reviewed by: The Sager’s , 2022/07/02

Our guide, John was awesome! We were picked up early in the morning for the Diamondhead hike. This hike I would consider moderate, and is a spectacular view of the city and naturescape of Waikiki/ Honolulu. We continued on to several stops around the island of Oahu that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to see as we didn’t rent a car for this trip. This full day adventure allows you to see many sites as well as learn about the region via a knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend!!

Manoa Falls Shuttle from Waikiki - Waterfall Hike Adventure by Blue Lei Hawaii

Beautiful hike!

Reviewed by: The Sager’s , 2022/07/02

We were picked up on time for our shuttle service to the Manoa falls trail. Our driver was funny and entertaining and offered some details about the area. We were escorted to the entrance of the falls and our driver took our picture to document our adventure. The hike was easy to moderate…proper shoes are a must as it is slick in some areas due to the tropical and lush nature of the terrain. We did see some unprepared people attempt to hike in flip flops! Due to the low rainfall while we were there, the falls weren’t robust, but still a beautiful hike!

Hike and tour

Reviewed by: VVill, 2022/07/02

It was so worth it!!! We were glad that we took this tour, we had the chance to see how beautiful the view was from the top of Diamond Head. We sweat a lot but it was a good exercise early in the morning. We had multiple stops and saw a lot of stunning views. Our lunch stop was in an area with multiple food trucks. There’s a lot to choose from but it looks like Giovanni’s shrimp scampi is the most popular. No regret that we go with the hype as their shrimp was so tasty garnished with a good amount of garlic. Need more rice please lol. Stephanie our tour guide/ driver was so nice, she was very patient and seemed to really enjoy what she is doing. There’s so much pride in her when she is showing this area of Hawaii. Thank you Stephanie for your warm service.

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - Haleiwa, Kualoa Beach & Dole Plantation

Diamond Head hike/North Shore

Reviewed by: MayV, 2022/07/02

It was just perfect to start our stay in Oahu with a familiarity of the area around our hotel from our guide Stephanie and proceeded to hike in Diamond Head. It was challenging to go up to the top but worth it to see the very nice view during sunrise. We were given enough time on this hike, so no need to rush. Our tour guide/driver Stephanie was very nice and informative. We were just a smaller group of 6, and so the tour became so friendly and personal. We made a lot of stops and took a lot of beautiful pictures.

Amazing tour

Reviewed by: Victoria Castaneda, 2022/06/24

At first I was skeptical to book this tour because of the early morning start of the tour (my husband and I are not morning people) but we are so glad we did because it was our favorite activity we did during our trip to Oahu. Jon was the best tour guide and was so knowledgeable! He was very punctual but never rushed on when we would explore a little more. Diamond head was a must! I am not the most athletic right now but I’m so glad I finished it, the views are incredible. The food truck you stop at has one of the most amazing food and the fruit stand has the freshest fruit! All in all, I highly recommend this tour!

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - Haleiwa, Kualoa Beach & Dole Plantation

Delightful, informative host to a nice tour(Per Sam)

Reviewed by: -PAUL-, 2022/05/28

Stephanie our tour guide was awesome, let me just state the first!
Doing the Diamond Hike that early was great, being one of the first ones on the hike(less people to wade through) and the cooler temperature in the morning allowing the ease of the hike to be a breeze.
Then checking out the eastern part of the island is relaxing when you do not have to drive yourself. Exploration is something that intruiges me, so looking to where i can go and explore on my own; this tour allows just that. This is something to do if you do not what to explore on this side of the island. Allowing you to take another tour, or rent a car and explore yourself. This being the first time for my girlfriend coming to the island and having a delightful and informatitve host to a nice tour.
