The Manoa Falls Trail has beautiful scenery and it’s an easy/ moderate hike going up. But the Manoa Falls at this time ( November) has little water but still worth the hike and a lot of great spots for IG.
Orlando our tour guide is very knowledgeable and made a lot of good recommendations around Honolulu. He provided us with water and bug spray. He is on time picking us up in the hotel.
Thank you and it was a great experience!

Everything went smoothly-tour operator picked us up on time at designated spot and returned us at appropriate time, and gave us a narrative talk about the area enroute to Diamond Head. The destination was exceptional -with amazing views of the inland and coastline. One tip- it appears that the later you go in the day the busier the trail gets. We left at 8:30 am and the crowds were manageable. If you're in Honolulu-definitely check this beauty out-and plan to get a good cardiovascular workout in climbing to the top!

This tour starts early, but it is worth it.
Nice bus great friendly driver.
The climb is fast paced if you want to reach the top in time for sunrise, not easy and you will be out of breath.
Truest worth th effort.
The way down is slower paced and super easy.
Loved this and glad we did it.

This was a great hike. My husband and I aren’t expert hikers but found this to be enjoyable. The trail is very uneven but most trails are. Wear comfy shoes and take water to stay hydrated. It takes about an hour to get to the top and the views above Honolulu are amazing. We had time to take pictures and enjoy before heading back down. The driver of the shuttle was funny and made the trip even better.
Wear comfortable shoes and take water.

This was well worth the money, amazing place, beautiful rainforest, you will get a little wet, and muddy, bring water, our driver Mathew K was great, got us there safe, had water for us at the end, would definitely do it again.
Dress appropriately, not a hike to do in slipper (flip flops) or dress/casual shoes, hiking shoes.

The Diamond Head hike was absolutely unforgettable—a perfect blend of adventure and breathtaking views. The tour was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish, thanks to our awesome bus driver, Moko, who brought the perfect mix of local knowledge and good vibes. He made everything easy, from pick-up to drop-off, setting the tone for a brilliant morning. Reaching the summit and taking in the panoramic views of Waikiki was the ultimate reward—definitely a highlight of the trip
If you’re thinking about hiking Diamond Head, don’t miss the sunrise walk—it’s the best!

I visited before and it was so great that I'm coming back. It's more of a walk up a slope than trekking, so I think it's perfect for beginners and elderly people. The scenery while walking slowly was amazing. Especially coming down while looking at the ocean felt incredibly refreshing. I'm glad I came to Hawaii. The driver was very energetic and explained the scenery until we arrived at Makapu'u, and he even made a stop for a restroom break, which was very considerate. On the way back, I asked to stop at Ala Moana instead of the hotel (since it was on the way), and they accommodated my request. Thank you!
以前行った時に、とても良かったので再来訪です。トレッキングというよりは、坂道を歩くので、トレッキング初心者やお年寄りの方には最適かと思います。ゆっくり歩いて眺める景色は最高でした。特に海を見ながら降りて来るのが最高に気持ちいいです。ハワイに来て良かったと思います。ドライバーの方がとても元気な方で、マカプウに到着するまでの景色の説明をしてくれ、途中でトイレにも行ってくれて、気遣いが素敵でした。帰り、ホテルではなくアラモアナに寄って欲しいと言ったら(通り道だったので)、対応していただきました。ありがとうございます。

Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!
Wear good shoes. Water provided. No jacket or back pack required. Wear sunscreen.

This is our third trips to Hawaii but is the first time to have a chance to see other beautiful beaches in Oahu in addition to the well known Waikiki beach. The hike in the Diamond Head was manageable but the view from the top was magnificent. With the driver John’s guide, we had the most spectacular experience in Oahu.
The booking process is easy. Tour driver was very on time and helpful.

Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!
Eat something light before you head out. Go early. Drink water. Enjoy!
