I thought the hike to Manoa Falls would be easy, but the way there was all uphill, and it was quite muddy. There are several breaks along the way, but I was too focused on watching my feet to enjoy the scenery. The humidity was also quite high.
That said, seeing the waterfall was rewarding. It was truly beautiful. White shoes and light-colored pants are not a good idea.
Lunch at Tantalus Lookout was enjoyable.
マノアの滝までのハイキングと軽く考えていましたが行きはずっと上り坂。それも結構なぬかるみ道。途中何度か休憩がありますが移動中は足もとばかり見ていて景色を楽しむ余裕はなかったです。湿気もかなりあります。
とはいえ滝を見ると達成感はあります。ほんとうにキレイでした。白い靴と色の薄いズボンはNGです。
タンタラスの丘のランチは楽しかったです。

I thought it was a great plan to combine Diamond Head and Makapu'u Trail, allowing us to make effective use of our time. We hiked as a couple in our 60s, and there were no dangerous areas. It wasn't crowded, and everyone was well-mannered, allowing us to navigate the narrow spots by yielding to each other. You can enjoy a sense of unity with nature while listening to the birds chirping. The last stairs at Diamond Head are a bit tough, but that’s what makes it rewarding. The view of Honolulu and the ocean from the mountain is truly beautiful. This was my second time on Makapu'u Trail, and I couldn't forget the coastal views, so I decided to join again. At first, you might think the gradual slope is boring, but once you turn the first curve, the amazing scenery begins, so please be patient and keep climbing. The paved path is easy to walk on, but there’s no place to avoid direct sunlight, so a hat, rash guard, and water are essential. Next time, I definitely want to see whales, so I hope to join in the winter.
ダイヤモンドヘッドとマカプウトレイルがセットになっているので、時間を有効活用できるよいプランだと思いました。60代夫婦で登りましたが、危険なエリアもなく、混んでいなかったこともありますがみなさんマナーが良く、狭いところは譲り合いながら進むことができました。鳥のさえずりを聞きながら自然との一体感が味わえます。ダイヤモンドヘッドはラストの階段が少しきついですがだからこその達成感。山から見るホノルルの町と海は本当に美しいです。マカプウトレイルは2度目ですが岸壁の海の景色が忘れられず参加しました。初めはだらだらとした坂でつまらないと思うかもしれませんが、初めのカープを曲がったところから素晴らしい景色が始まりますので、根気よく登ってください。舗装されて道路で歩きやすいのですが、直射日光を避けるところがないため、帽子とラッシュガード、水は必須です。次回はぜひクジラが見たいので冬に参加したいです。

I finally got to visit Manoa Falls, which I had wanted to see for a long time. I signed up for a Japanese tour, but I was the only Japanese person there. However, the guide was Japanese, and even the English explanations were very easy to understand.
The hike was quite tough, and the walking stick they lent me was very helpful. I wore long sleeves and long pants, but I was sweating a lot along the way. I wanted to take them off, but I was afraid of getting bitten by mosquitoes, so I endured it.
My shoes ended up muddy. There is a place to wash them, so you can get some of the dirt off, but they won't get completely clean, so I think it's best to wear shoes that you don't mind throwing away.
For lunch, we ate on Tantalus Hill while looking at Diamond Head and Waikiki. The view was much nicer than at night.
The sandwich was very delicious. It was from the sandwich shop next to the Starbucks in Manoa.
I'm glad I had such a fun experience.
ずっと来たいと思っていたマノア滝にやっと行けました。日本語ツアーで申し込みましたが、日本人は私のみ。ですが、ガイドの方が日本の方で英語の説明でもとてもわかりやすく私でも理解できました。
ハイキングは割とキツく、杖を貸して頂いたのがとても役に立ちました。長袖長ズボンで行きましたが、途中で汗だく。でも脱いだら蚊に刺されそうだったので我慢しました。
靴は泥まみれになります。洗う場所もあるので少しは土が落とせますが、ちゃんと綺麗にはならないので捨てても良い靴で行くと良いと思います。
ランチはタンタラスの丘でダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを見ながら食べます。夜のタンタラスよりもずっと素敵な景色です。
サンドイッチがとても美味しかったです。

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

The path to Manoa Falls had a slope, but our guide Anoi took breaks at just the right times, and at the photo spots, he helped us take artistic pictures, making it a very satisfying tour. I had a great time. The sandwich we had at Tantalus was also delicious, and I think it was a very good value tour. I would like to participate in a different activity next time. However, I gave it 4 stars because the bracelet I bought from the tour company broke the next day. I was very disappointed because I liked the design.

I received a cancellation notice because the Japanese tour didn't meet the minimum number of participants, but I joined in with an English guide and it was quite fun! I laughed a lot.
The guide talked non-stop like a radio DJ, but I got used to it surprisingly well. Since I'm in a foreign country, this is also acceptable! He spoke to us in slow English, which was nice.
It was raining at Manoa Falls, but the weather was actually quite nice for feeling the essence of Hawaii. The greenery was more vibrant, and the sound of the waterfall was very refreshing.
The ocean is great, but the mountains are nice too.
P.S. I actually participated in a trial tour with Lucky Man, the owner of this tour, four years ago. It's a shame that it seems to no longer exist, but I really enjoyed having a guide who wasn't just focused on tourism. I had hoped to see him again, but it's unfortunate.
日本人ツアーが定員満たずキャンセルの連絡がきましたが、英語のガイドで楽人に交じって参加。。。。結構面白かったです!大爆笑。
ラジオのDJを聞いているようにしゃべりっぱなしのガイドでしたが、耳になじんで意外といけました。一応外国に来ているんだからこれもありです!
私たちへの問いかけはゆっくり目の英語にしてくれました。(笑)
マノアの滝は雨でしたがハワイを感じるの実はなかなかよい天候(笑)緑がより緑で滝の音ととても新鮮です。
海もいいけど山もよいですね。
追伸、このツアーのオーナーのラッキーマンに実は4年前にトライアルツァーに参加。。。もうないみたいで残念でしたが、観光じゃないガイドがとてもよかたです。(笑)また、お会いしたいと思っていましたが、残念でした。

The Manoa Falls tour was canceled the day before. I only found out about the cancellation through an email, and it wasn't until I received a phone call the night before that I learned about it. From there, I requested to change to another tour and was able to participate in the Waimea Falls tour. The guides from the tour company Dolphin & You (driver John, Toshio, and Daisuke) were very cheerful and fun, and even though it was a downpour during the tour, I had a great time.
前日にマノアの滝ツアーが中止になった。中止の連絡がメールだけだったので中止のことを知ったのが前日の夜に電話があり初めて知った。そこから別のツアーに変更をお願いして、なんとかワイメアの滝ツアーに参加することができた。ツアー会社ドルフィン&ユーのガイド(運転手ジョンさん、トシオさん、ダイスケさん)はとても愉快で楽しく、土砂降りのツアーでしたが楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

I participated in a tour in late October, and it exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend it for those who want to recharge with the energy of nature. Thanks to the tour guide who spoke in both English and Japanese, I was able to enjoy the experience! They share information about the plants, which adds to the excitement! If it's your first time visiting Manoa Falls, definitely consider joining this tour.
As for clothing, I recommend wearing long pants since there are mosquitoes. If you don't have insect repellent spray, the guide will lend you some. I initially wore a lightweight UV parka over my T-shirt, but I started to sweat a bit, so I took it off midway. The ground was a bit muddy from the rain the day before, but my sneakers only got a little dirty. At the end, you can rinse your shoes off with a hose (your socks will get wet, though). Bottled water is provided during lunch. You'll sweat while walking and get thirsty, so don't forget to bring your own water!
After being thoroughly satisfied at Manoa Falls, we headed to Tantalus Lookout. I've participated in night view tours several times, but this was my first time at Tantalus during the day! The view was fantastic! I chose the pastrami sandwich for lunch, and it was a great choice! It was lucky to enjoy a sandwich from a popular local shop without having to wait in line! It was so delicious! Definitely check out Manoa Falls. I highly recommend this tour!
10月下旬にツアーに参加し、期待以上に大満足でした!!大自然のエネルギーをたっぷりチャージしたい方におすすめです。
英語と日本語を交互にお話ししてくださるツアーガイドさんのおかげで、楽しく参加できました!
植物のことなど教えてくださいますので、ワクワク感が増します!はじめてマノアの滝に行かれる方は、ぜひこのツアーに参加してみてください。
服装ですが、蚊が飛んでますので長ズボンがおすすめです。虫除けスプレーは持ってなければガイドさんが貸してくださいます。
最初はTシャツのうえに薄手のUVパーカーを羽織っていましたが、じんわりと汗をかいたので途中でパーカーは脱ぎました。
前日の雨で、足元は多少ぬかるんでましたがスニーカーに泥がついた程度。最後にホースの水でザッと靴を洗い流せます(靴下まで濡れますが)
ペットボトルのお水は、ランチのときに配られます。歩きながら汗をかいて喉が乾くので、お水の持参を忘れずに!
マノアの滝で大満足したあとは、タンタラスの丘へ。夜景ツアーは何度か参加したことがありますが、昼間のタンタラスの丘ははじめて!とても良い眺めで最高!
ランチのサンドイッチはパストラミを選んで大正解!地元で人気のお店のサンドイッチを並ばずに食べられるなんてラッキー!とーっても美味しかったです!

I was the only Japanese person on the English tour, but I had a great time.
The roads were well-maintained, so there were no issues, but be careful of the collapsed fence on the cliffside leading to the lighthouse and watch out for falling rocks from above. The guide advised against going there. Since I couldn't see the situation from above, I decided to go partway and planned to turn back if I judged it to be dangerous, but I was relieved that I was able to pass through safely. I think it’s a tour with plenty of time.
I appreciated being dropped off right next to the hotel on the way back. It was a place I would consider visiting again ❤️
英語ツアーで日本人は私だけでしたが、楽しめました。
道も整備されていて問題ないですが、ライトハウスに行く崖側は柵が崩壊しているのと上からの落石には十分注意した方がいいです。
ガイドさんは行かないで欲しいと言っていました。
上からは状況がわからなかったので途中まで行って危険と判断したら戻るつもりで自己責任で行きましたが通れたので良かったとホッとしてます。
時間も十分にあるツアーだと思います。
帰りはホテル横まで送ってもらえて感謝

Both hikes to Diamond head and Manual falls were very good. Diamond head was more strenuous than Manoa falls. I challenged myself by taking the hardest route. Both tours offered water though the one at Diamond head was warm. Walking sticks were offered at Manoa falls which was helpful though I didn't use it. Due to a dry season, there was no falls; completely bone dry which was disappointing. Both drivers were on time, friendly, and informative. Overall, it was a really good self-guided hike and I would do it again but hopefully when the falls are actually flowing.

Thank you for your feedback. The Manoa area is a place where it rains about 300 days a year, and this blessed rain creates Hawaii's natural beauty. Therefore, I think it's important to pay attention to clothing and other preparations depending on the day, but I'm glad you were able to experience a sense of accomplishment. Tantalus Lookout is also a popular spot, and it's a place that all our staff love.
ご感想ありがとうございます。マノア地区は、365日中300日雨が降る場所で、その恵みの雨がハワイの自然を作り出しています。ですので、日によって服装など注意が必要かと思いますが、達成感を味わっていただけて嬉しく思います。タンタラスの丘も人気のスポットでスタッフもみんな大好きな場所です。
