All Reviews for Hiking Tours

I participated with my 7-year-old daughter. I was a bit worried that downhill might be too tough for her, but the guide took her pace into consideration and went slowly, so my daughter managed just fine.

During the hike, which felt like wandering through the jungle, we heard various stories, making it a very enjoyable tour. My daughter seemed a little tired, but she was happy and said she had fun.

The hiking in Manoa Valley was full of surprises! I discovered for the first time that there are places like this on Oahu. It felt like I had entered a different world, and it was refreshing. The guide carefully explained about the plants and ancient Hawaiians, making it an enjoyable hike. It was a tour that allowed me to see another side of Hawaii.

And finally! The downhill! Gliding smoothly while taking in the beautiful scenery of Oahu was exhilarating! The feeling was indescribably refreshing! It felt so good.

Our bike and hike tour was amazing. I wish I could rate this higher than 5 star. Matis (sorry for the spelling) did an amazing job along with the other guides. Everything was done 1st class from the pickup to the drop off. I just wish on our 1st trip to Hawaii in 2008 that I would have discovered this. The views were picture perfect. We were given plenty of time to take pictures, relax, and have a great time. This was definetly the best part of the trip.

It 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.

Great way to experience Oahu. Our guide was knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy his work. Even though we didn't get to do the sail part, the refund process was immediate and simple.

Staff is very friendly. Jeremy and Kalani (I prob spelled his name wrong) were very knowledgeable, helpful. There was and older gentleman on the hike who had issues with heat exhaustion, and Jeremy even took off his t-shirt to help the man, that maybe shouldn't have been on the hike in the first place. It was great that we had the same two guides during throughout all three excursions. There are only two things they don't tell you before you go. One is that the hike is a real hike, not just a stroll through the woods, and bit challenging for someone who would become winded from climbing stairs. lol We were able to do the hike with no problems, but its just a word of advise. Second there is only one port-a-potty available at the beginning of the day, so make sure you go before it starts. But don't worry you will sweat out most of the water lol. You won't have access to another bathroom until the start of the snorkel. Other than those few surprises we had a wonderful time and everythi

Great day of events. For me the sailing portion made the day very long. I would not recommend all three in the future.

The hike and biking experience was awesome. Some of the guides on the boat were not as friendly or welcoming as I experienced on my other excursions. Kind of put a damper on an otherwise good experience.

Our tour guide Matias (sp?) was amazing. He knew so much about the wildlife, the plants and everything else we saw, and was very helpful in keeping us all safe on our adventure. The tour was great and I would definitely do it again. Fantastic value for the money.

I recommend this for those who have visited Manoa Falls as mentioned in the guidebook and felt they could walk more or want a bit more adventure!

There were seven participants, including myself. Three were solo travelers, one couple, and one married couple, all from the mainland United States. The guide primarily spoke English but also shared a little bit of Japanese. I think even those who don't understand English at all will be fine. Rather, we were walking quite a bit, so there wasn't much opportunity for conversation during the hike.

It felt more like trekking off the beaten path than I expected, so I think it's better to wear trekking shoes or change into borrowed rubber boots. I went in short sleeves and shorts, but even with insect repellent, I still got bitten (the swelling went down quickly♪), so I recommend long pants for those who are prone to mosquito bites. As for belongings, everything was fine as listed.

ガイドブックに載っているマノアの滝に行った方で、歩き足りなかった方やもう少し冒険したい方にオススメです！

参加者は私を含め７名でした。一人参加が３名、カップル１組、ご夫婦１組で、全員アメリカ本土からの方でした。ガイドは基本的に英語ですが、ほんの少し知ってる日本語を披露してくれました。全く英語がわからない方でも平気だと思います。とゆうより、かなり頑張って歩くので移動中はみんな話す余裕はなかったです。

思ったより道なき道を進む感じで、トレッキングシューズを履いていくか、長靴が借りられるので履き替えた方がよいと思います。半袖＆ハーフパンツで行きましたが、虫除けスプレーをしても刺されてしまったので（すぐ腫れは引きました♪）、蚊に刺されやすい方は長ズボンをお勧めします。持ち物などは、記載された通りで平気でした。

I wanted to enjoy the sea, sky, nature, and the happy, rich atmosphere of Hawaii, so I signed up for this tour.

I strolled through a lush tropical rainforest that far exceeded my expectations, and it made me feel incredibly rich in spirit.

The rainforest offers various beautiful sights, and it's truly enjoyable. In addition to shopping, spa treatments, and ocean activities, please make sure to savor this abundant nature!

After such a hike, there's the downhill. You can really run down a scenic slope with a great feeling. We take a lunch break in the middle of the downhill, and the view of Waikiki from there is absolutely amazing.

All the necessary equipment for the hiking and downhill activities is provided by the tour company, so you can feel at ease.

I highly encourage everyone to experience this!

ハワイの海、空、自然、幸せで豊かな空気感を満喫したいと思い、今回はこのツアーに申し込みました。

想像をはるかに上回るほどの豊かな熱帯雨林を散策し、
とても豊かな気持ちになりました。

熱帯雨林の中にはいろいろな景色があり本当に楽しめます。
お買い物や、エステ、海のアクティビティだけではなく是非この豊かな自然を満喫してみてください！

そしてそんなハイキングの後の、ダウンヒル。
本当に景色のよい坂道を気持ちよく駆け下りることが出来ます。
ダウンヒルの中盤でランチタイムをとるのですがそこから見るワイキキの景色は本当に最高です。

ハイキング、ダウンヒルともアクティビティ参加に必要な機材はすべてツアー会社が用意してくれますので安心です。

是非皆様も体験してみてください。

The hike was wonderful, something different from the beach. The guide was informative and we had an enjoyable time. However, the bike ride was rather slow. We were accomplished bikers and had to wait many times for slow people to catch up. It would have been more fun if they had divided the group up and let the fast ones go,go,go.

My Husband and I went Hiking and Biking. We had a blast doing both. We met really great people in the group, our guide was both knowledgeable and fun. We really enjoyed it and would do it again. I recommend this adventure.

Great time, and well worth it! Even though weather and other factors were not ideal, I still had a blast!

This time, I wanted to try something different, not just the usual sightseeing, so I participated with my 11-year-old son. The hike in Manoa Valley felt like a completely different world, far from Waikiki. It was as if we had entered a jungle. We crossed bamboo groves and visited waterfalls, realizing that there are such places on Oahu. After the hike, we completely changed the mood by going up Tantalus Hill (of course, we were driven there), and then we enjoyed a leisurely downhill ride on bikes that were provided for us. I had some anxiety before going down, but the instructor ensured everyone's safety while maintaining a slow pace, so I was able to enjoy the downhill ride with peace of mind. The views along the way, including spots where we could see Diamond Head and Waikiki, were really fun. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

いつもの観光だけではなく、今回はなにか変ったことをためしたいと思い、１１歳の息子と二人で参加しました。マノアヴァレーのハイキングは、ワイキキからすぐの場所とは思えないほどの別世界。まるでジャングルの中に入って行ったよう。竹林を越えて行ったり、滝の落ちる場所にいったり、オアフにもこんな場所があるんだ、と実感しました。ハイキングの後は、まったく気分を変えて、タンタラスの丘に登り、（もちろん車で連れて行ってくれます）、そこに運んでくれてあった自転車で、ゆっくり景色を楽しみながらダウンヒル。降りる前は多少不安もありましたが、インストラクターが皆の安全を守りつつ、ゆっくりしたペースで進んでくれたので、安心してダウンヒルができました。途中の景色、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを一望できる場所もあったりして、すごく楽しかったです。また、機会があれば参加したいです。

We did the all day activity and it was terrific. My husband and I took our 17 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter with us and even they had a good time. My daughter liked the hike, especially the mud, and my son liked the bike ride down. We all enjoyed the snorkeling. We saw 3 giant sea turtles and a couple different types of fish. I highly recommend motion sickness pills if you aren't use to a boat ride. Our guide Jeremy was the perfect guide. I would definitely recommend this activity to families.

Our family did the Hike, Bike, Sail and Snorkel Tour and had a great time. It gave us a great blend of three different ways to see the island - hiking the rain forest, biking down the mountain (getting a GREAT view of Diamond Head and Waikiki during our lunch break), and snorkeling just off the coast.

Our tour guide, Jeremy, was fantastic. He was very personable and knowledgeable. My 10 year old son, enjoyed hiking and biking right by Jeremy and asking a TON of questions. And Jeremy did a superb job of answering all of his questions, never being bothered by them.

My family would definitely recommend this tour (all three parts) to anyone.

THIS WAS THE BEST TIME ON THE ISLAND. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO SPEND THE DAY AND HAVE A GREAT TIME!

We did this all day adventure with Jeremy who works with Bike Hawaii. He was great!! Full of information and some great sites were seen. We would say to everyone to is going to Oahu this is something you should take time to do. I do though recommend that it be for older kids as the younger ones slowed the group down. But it was a fab day. Thanks Jeremy!!

Very enjoyable, would do again. Guide, Jeremy was very knowlegable. Thanks again!

As I was the only hiker for the day, I got the VIP treatment. Jeremy was great!!- very knowledgeable too. This was the highlight of my trip to Honolulu.

After suffering through hokey luaus and the miserable submarine and magic shows, we went on this tour and it absolutely made our trip. The rainforest hike was unique, as expected. The tourguide had everything thought out for us: we were provided with rubber boots, food, water, waist packs, and water bottles.

The downhill bike portion of the day made for some great views and excellent photo ops. We took a picture of us holding hands with the entire coastline visible about 5 miles behind us and lots of ocean behind that.

The highlight of the trip was the sailing and snorkeling during which we (both first timers) played among a school of fish, got up close to sea turtles, swam to the coral reef about 25 feet down, and enjoyed a trip a mile or so offshore. As we sailed back in, we saw dolphins swimming beside the boat. We saw more sea life during this trip than during the entire submarine tour.

The tour guide was totally helpful and fun to talk to at the same time. We'd do t

This was one of our favorite activities in Oahu. Matthias was our guide and he was so knowledgable about so many of the things in the rain forest. Knee-high rubber boots supplied by the tour are a must. . the hike goes into the rainforest ending at a waterfall and the passage out is thru bamboo. Bike ride was easy but great scenery. Mark meet us with the bikes and helmets and followed Matthias and the group down the mountain. Lunch was enjoyable and the snorkel part was relaxing and fun with Liz and Jocelyn as our boat "captains". Matthias was with us and the first one in the water to show us sea turtles and fish. Would recommend to any tourists that have all day to have fun fun fun

Although it was an English-only tour, I participated alone. I was the only Japanese person, and there were about ten travelers from the mainland United States.

As we made our way to the waterfall, we received very detailed explanations about the trees and other aspects of the rainforest. Along the way, we had to jump over rivers and navigate difficult terrain, which required everyone to help each other out and cooperate. It might be tough if you can't communicate in English to some extent.

The water at the destination waterfall was disappointingly low, which was the only letdown. However, the staff was very kind, and a sense of camaraderie developed among the participants. Overall, I thought it was an interesting tour.

英語のみのツアーと言うことでしたが、１人で参加しました。日本人は私だけ、あとはアメリカ本土からの旅行者が10人くらい。
熱帯雨林の中を木々などの説明をとても詳しく受けながら、滝を目指すのですが、途中川を飛び越えたり、足場が悪かったりと参加者みんなが助け合い、それぞれの協力が必要です。ある程度英語で意思の疎通ができないとつらいかもしれません。
目的地の滝の水が切ないほど少なく、それだけが期待はずれでしたが、スタッフはとても親切だし、参加者の連帯感などが生まれ、おもしろいツアーだと思いました。

Had a really great time. Jeremy made it so much fun and very interesting.

Way beyond my expectations, this trip was one of the highlights of my trip to Hawaii. Jeremy, our guide was very informative as he took us through the rainforest. The bike protion was a breeze and the snorkeling and sailing was very restful. I would go again in a heartbeat.

I participated alone on August 25th. I was a bit anxious about the English guide, but even if you can't speak English, people who love nature can quickly bond. There were seven participants, and aside from me, everyone was from abroad, but we were considerate of each other and realized that communication is not just about words! I was worried because there were no previous reviews, but the hotel pick-up was on time, and even though I was waiting at a different location, they came to find me. It is required to wear long pants, but as long as you have pants that go down to just below the knee and socks, you'll be fine. You'll also wear rubber boots, so make sure to declare your shoe size in advance; even if it doesn't fit, there are extra shoes available, so you can wear something that fits you. They also prepare insect repellent spray, and the itinerary allows you to enjoy various trees and scenery, which is fantastic. Above all, the fact that "there are no snakes" is wonderful! The path to the waterfall makes you sweat just enough to feel good. The nuts and dried fruits provided are delicious. The waterfall isn't very big, but it's a secret view that only those who participate in this tour can see. What impressed me even more was the way back. As we descended carefully through the green bamboo, the sounds of different plants and animals compared to when we climbed up soothed my heart. It was truly eco-trekking. Since it's a tropical rainforest, it does rain, but the trees provide enough cover that the raincoat I brought was completely unnecessary. Other participants got their bottoms dirty, but in the end, we could wash off in a stream, so it's all good. The difficulty level is about climbing a mountain of around 200 meters. They adjust to our pace, so everyone should definitely participate!

　８月25日に一人で参加しました。英語ガイドということで不安でしたが、英語がしゃべれなくても自然を愛する人たちはすぐにうちとけられます。参加者は７名で私以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが、お互いを気遣いコミュニケーションは言葉だけではないと痛感しました！！書き込みが１件もなかったので不安でしたが、ホテルの送迎も時間どおりだし別の場所で待っていたのですがわざわざ探しに来てくれました。長ズボン着用となっていますが膝したくらいのズボンと靴下を用意すれば大丈夫です。また、長靴を履きますので足のサイズは事前に申告し、サイズがあわなくても余分な靴があるので自分にあうものを履けます。虫除けスプレーも準備してくれていますし、行程はさまざまな樹木や景色を楽しむことができて最高です。なにしろ、「蛇がいない」ことが素晴らしい！滝までの道はほどよく汗をかいて気持いいですよ。また用意されたナッツやドライフルーツがおいしい。滝は大きいものではないですが、このツアーに参加した人だけしか見ることができない秘密の景色です。あとさらに感動したのが、帰りの道です。グリーンバンブーの中を滑らないように降りていくのですが、登るときとは違う植物や動物たちの声が心をスーッとさせてくれます。本当にエコトレッキングでした。
熱帯雨林なので雨が降りますが、用意したレインコートも全く必要がないくらい木々が傘になります。他の参加者はずべってお尻が汚れたりしましたが、最後に小川に入ってきれいに洗えるので大丈夫ですよ。きつさは、２００メートルくらいの山に登る程度です。私たちのペースにあわせてくれますので、みなさんどんどん参加してみましょう。

This tour was amazing. It did everything. We loved it. My only recommendation would be to serve lunch earlier. Not eating til 2 pm was difficult. The rainforest hike was beautiful and we loved the bamboo forest. the bike ride was easy and relaxing and the sail and snorkel couldn't be beat. We saw 6 different sea turtles and they came right up to us. I have the best pictures! We have already recommended it to tons of people before we left and will tell everyone we know about it.

Rarely do I take the time to be a reviewer, but my family so enjoyed the bike, hike, sail, and snorkel combo that I felt compelled to give a review. The excursion starts with a high through a beautiful rainforrest. The guides were well prepared providing boots that were definitely needed for the muddy terrain, as well as mosquito repellant( A MUST!) and ponchos. My wife is recovering from ACL surgery 8 months ago and I was concerned she would not be able to complete the hike. We were able to go at a slower pace than the main group and the guides were very accomodating.
The bike ride comes next. It was very scenic and all downhill. You do mostly braking-coasting with very little peddling. Ending the day with the sail and snorkel is like icing on the cake. We got to see sea turtles up close while snorkeling!
I would highly recommend this outing and would definitely do this excursion again if/when I return to Oahu!

Our hike to manoa falls has to be the best activity i have done to this day. it's was fun, adventurous, rugged and messy; truly breathtaking as well. I would recommend this activity to anyone!!! Thank you mateos and thank you hawaii activities.

A great way to see and learn about Hawaii. The hike through the rain forest was very fun and not at all overly exerting (perfect for a vacationing explorer). The guide was very knowledgable and entertaining, offering a perfect mix of commentary, facts and quiet time for some quiet reflection.
The bike tour was also very nice, only it was too short (well, the bottom of the hill has to come eventually). Again, the guide was knowledgable and gave us some spectacular views of Hawaii.
