Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - North Shore, East Coast & Dole Plantation

Diamond head hike

Reviewed by: Eelaeng Diaz

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!!!

Incredible time!

This tour was so much fun! Stephanie was our guide and she was very knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. The hike in the morning was amazing and having a tour reduced the hassle of reservations, parking, etc. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting a well-rounded and interesting tour of the island.

The pickup logistics were unclear. 迎えのロジが意味不明でした

Reviewed by: miyuki

I was scheduled to be picked up in front of DFS at 9:25 AM (the van arrived more than 10 minutes late). After that, we went around several hotels in the Waikiki area, including the Marriott, and for some reason, at 10:25 AM, I was taken to a travel agency office just a minute's walk from DFS, where I was shown souvenirs.

I felt there was absolutely no need to stop by the office, and if they really wanted to make a stop there, it would have been better to gather everyone at the office at 10:25 AM instead. If they are considering Japanese tourists as well, I think they should improve the logistics in that regard.

Visiting Manoa Falls and Tantalus was worthwhile, and the pastrami for lunch was delicious. However, since I wasted an hour in the morning, it left a very negative impression of the tour.

9時25分にDFS前でピック予定(10分以上遅れてバンが到着)、その後ワイキキ中心部のマリオット等いくつかホテルを周り、なぜか10時25分にはDFSから徒歩1分の旅行会社オフィスなるところに連れて行かれてお土産を見させられました。
オフィスに寄る必要を全く感じなかったですし、どうしてもオフィスに寄らせたいのであれば、そこに10時25分集合でよかったのではないでしょうか。
日本人も対象に考えられているのであれば、その辺りのロジはきちんとした方がいいと思います。

マノアの滝とタンタラスの丘自体は行って良かったです、ランチのパストラミも美味しかったです。
しかし朝から1時間無駄にされたので、幸先悪く非常に印象の悪いツアーとなってしまいました。

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

Great Hike!

Reviewed by: Jen

We had a great hike with our tour guide, Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was passionate about what he does and made a great day for us. The hike was just challenging enough without being too difficult. The lunch provided was great too. We didn't know what to expect going into this but had a great time and would recommend this to anyone. It's a great way to see a part of the island that we never would have seen otherwise.

Reviewed by: 毎年ハワイ

The location is about a 30-minute drive from Waikiki, and picking up participants in Waikiki took quite a bit of time. Although it is a hiking tour, there are some steep paths, and since it was raining on and off, I was putting on and taking off my raincoat, which made me sweat a lot and quite tired. (It seems to rain often there, so I think non-slip shoes and a raincoat are necessary.) Also, there are quite a few mosquitoes, so insect repellent spray or long pants are recommended. (I wore shorts and got bitten in several places.) The mystical forest and the fairly large waterfall were amazing to see. On the way back, we had lunch at Tantalus Lookout. I had a pastrami sandwich, and the dressing was especially delicious.

Guided Rainforest Hiking Tour on the Manoa Falls Trail with Picnic Lunch & Waikiki Transportation

pleasant stroll in the tropical forest

Reviewed by: J.L.

Very little elevation gain on the trail, so it’s a very nice walk for most.

The amount of water coming down the falls depends on how much it has been raining. For us there was only a trickle.

They can’t take you to the official Tantalus Lookout inside the state park any more due to current restrictions, but you’ll still be treated to a pretty nice viewpoint overlooking the city after your picnic lunch.

It's just a shame about the rain. 雨だけ残念

Reviewed by: トマト

During my previous hike in Manoa, I was captivated by the enchanting atmosphere of the forest. Unfortunately, this time, we had to walk almost entirely in the rain. The photos all turned out gloomy due to the clouds, so the weather was disappointing. Before we started, it was helpful that they lent out rain gear and sticks to those who needed them. The guide's instructions were also enjoyable! For lunch, I had a pastrami sandwich, which was just the right amount and delicious.

以前マノアのハイキングに参加した際、森の幻想的な雰囲気に心奪われました。今回は残念ながら、ほぼずっと雨の中を歩くこととなりました。写真が全部どんより雲のため、天気だけが残念です。スタート前に、雨具とスティックを希望者には貸し出してくれて助かりました。ガイドの方の案内も楽しかったです！ランチは、パストラミサンドにしましたが、ちょうどいい量で美味しかったです。

I participated in light clothing. I set out thinking it would be an easy hiking course, but due to the bad weather the day before, we had to navigate through a fallen bamboo grove along the way.

Before reaching the waterfall, there were steep slopes that made me sweat a lot, but the sense of accomplishment was 100%.

On the way back, we had lunch, which was delicious and felt like a reward. I was very satisfied.

The view from Tantalus Lookout on the way back was also great, making it the best course overall.

Diamond Head Hike & Oahu Island Tour - North Shore, East Coast & Dole Plantation

good overview of the island

Reviewed by: J.L.

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...

It became the best memory! 最高の思い出となりました♪

Reviewed by: kaolinacat

I have traveled to Hawaii about 20 times, including long stays, and this is my first visit in four years. I considered taking a bus or renting a car to get to Manoa, but since it was my first time in the area and I wanted to learn about the local plants, I decided to join this tour.

On the day of the tour, there were about four groups of Japanese participants and around four to five groups from English-speaking countries (the mainland, Australia, Italy). Our tour guide, Kanako, attended to everyone using both English and Japanese. I imagine she must have been quite tired from speaking both languages the whole time, but she was always smiling and considerate of everyone, truly a wonderful person.

Kanako's friendly approach made the bus ride and our exploration enjoyable, regardless of nationality. I participated alone, but I had the chance to chat, take photos, and exchange contact information with a woman who was also traveling solo from the mainland, which gave me a sense of the overseas travel experience I had missed. Thank you!

When we left Waikiki, the weather was quite overcast, and I wondered what it would be like in Manoa, but fortunately, it didn't rain during our exploration. We enjoyed the great outdoors while being careful of our footing. Along the way, we heard various stories, and I realized that the information shared during the tour was something I wouldn't have easily obtained on my own, making my decision to join the tour the right one.

After our exploration, we were served sandwiches from Andy's, a three-generation establishment in Manoa, along with water at Tantalus National Park. (The sandwiches here are incredibly filling; I was full after just half and took the rest home. The taste was excellent too, with a delightful sweetness in the bread!) Since it had rained, we ate together under a pavilion. Normally, we could have enjoyed our meal on the grass, further immersing ourselves in nature. After eating, we moved to a spot where we could see Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the airport for photos. Initially, clouds obscured our view of Diamond Head, but the weather changed suddenly, and by the end, we could see a bit of blue sky. I thought it was a miracle.

I usually participate in tours that are exclusively in Japanese, so I found this mixed tour to be a wonderful opportunity to communicate with people from overseas. I believe travel companies should actively promote mixed tours.

At the end, we all hugged goodbye. Although it was a short time, it was a very meaningful experience during my brief stay in Hawaii.

Thank you so much, Kanako! See you again!

ハワイへはロングステイもしたり２０回程度は渡航しています。そして4年ぶりのハワイです。マノアへはバスやレンタカーを使っていくことも考えましたが初めての土地とそれから現地の植物等の情報も知りたかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は日本人（日本語）のグループが４組程度，英語グループ（メインランドやオーストラリア，イタリア）からの参加が4組~5組程度でツアーガイドのKANAKOさんが英語と日本語両方を使って参加者の方々をアテンドしてくださいました。
英語と日本語でずっと話していたのでいつもよりきっと疲れたと思いますがいつもニコニコしていてずっとみんなを気遣っていて本当に素晴らしい方です。

KANAKOさんの対応がフレンドリーでバスの中や現地での散策が国籍問わず一体となって楽しく移動できました。私はひとりで参加しましたが本土からひとりで参加していた女性の方と一緒にお話しして写真を撮ったりメアドを交換したりと久しぶりに海外旅行にきた感触を得ることができました。ありがとうございます。

当日はワイキキを出たときはかなりどんより曇っていてマノアではどうなることかと思いましたが，散策途中は雨は降らず足元に気を付けながら大自然を満喫してきました。途中でいろいろなエピソード等も伺いやはり自分ひとりではなかなか得られない情報だったと思いツアー参加は正解でした。

散策終わるとマノアで３世代続くアンディーズのサンドウィッチとお水がタンタラス国立公園で渡されました。（ここのサンドウィッチはものすごくボリューミーで私は半分だけでお腹いっぱいになり持ち帰りました。そして味も最高。パン生地に甘味があって美味しい！！と思いました）
雨の後だったので東屋のようなところでみんなで食べました。いつもなら芝の上等で自然をさらに満喫しながら食べられたと思います。食後は公園内のダイヤモンドヘッド~ワイキキ~空港までが見渡せる場所へ移動し写真撮影しました。写真撮影の最初は雲がかかってしまっていてダイヤモンドヘッドも見えない状況だったのですが途中から天気が急変して最後はすこしだけ青空が見えました。奇跡だと思います。

私は普段日本語（日本人）だけのツアーを当たり前のように参加します。今回このように混在したツアーは海外に来て海外の方とコミュニケーションをとるすばらしい機会だと思いました。積極的に旅行会社も混在ツアーをアピールしてよいのではないかと思います。

最後はみんなお別れする時はハグしてお別れしました。とても短い時間でしたが短いハワイ滞在の中でとても有意義な時間となりました。

KANAKOさんほんとにありがとうございました♡またね！！

I was disappointed. がっかりしました。

Reviewed by: ダグミ

The voucher mentioned that water would be provided, so I thought it would be cumbersome to carry water while climbing the mountain and decided not to bring any. However, water was only available during lunch, and there were no places to purchase it. At first, I reluctantly started walking towards the waterfall, but it was very humid, and the incline was steeper than I had imagined, making it a tough journey. I took a short break along the way, and realizing that continuing without hydration would be a burden to others, I decided it was best to turn back. It seems that those who participated through HIS were informed in detail to bring their own water since it would only be provided at lunchtime. I believe it's necessary to include such detailed information for future participants. It was very disappointing as this was my husband's retirement trip, and it had been three years since our last visit to Hawaii.

バウチャーに水がいただけると書いてあったので、山に登るのに荷物になると思い水は持参しませんでした。しかし水をいただけるのは昼食の時で購入する場所も一切なくで、最初は仕方なく滝に向けて歩き始めましたがとても蒸暑く想像していたより傾斜がありハードな道のりでした。途中少し休憩をしたので水分補給なしでこのまま最後まで歩くのはかえって他の方に迷惑かかると思い無理と判断して引き返しました。HISから参加した方は細かく水は昼食時に渡すので持参してくださいと記載があったようでした。今後参加する方の為にも細かい記載は必要だと思いました。主人の定年退職記念旅行で３年ぶりのハワイだったので非常に残念でした。

Guided Rainforest Hiking Tour on the Manoa Falls Trail with Picnic Lunch & Waikiki Transportation

MANOA FALLS

Reviewed by: OVERSON'S

The Manoa Falls hike and tour was an amazing adventure and wonderful experience for my whole family of 9.
The tour guys was very friendly and educated on the mountains and Tree's that are in the environment.

I was a little nervous about the hike since my youngest is 4 years old and never been hiking before. The Tour guides where very helping in giving us information on how the trail might be slippery or what to expect so that everyone could enjoy the hike.

After the hike we went for a small lunch picnic on one of the mountain tops. We had great food and got to explore and see great views of the Waikiki Valley and Ocean views. We also got to see the diamond head mountain area.

This is an amazing opportunity to get some great pictures and learn about the Manoa Valley waterfalls as a family activity with younger kids.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something fun to do.
