Our tour guide was a few weeks into his job but it felt like he has been doing this for years. As we drove through the island we were shown some landmarks and famous peoples houses. Once we got to the trail he proved us ponchos which we would come to need. The trail was fantastic. Even in the rain it was our first activity when we arrived and well worth it. Highly recommend people take the time to enjoy the waterfall and see this.

After my group was picked up another couple was picked up. I was disappointed because they were picked up across the street from the condo we were staying at. My group had to take a 15 minute walk to The pick up location that they told us. We could have slept in a little bit later and had breakfast. The ride to Diamondhead was simple and quick. Once you get to the location they do you have food trucks if you want to grab food or something to drink. As we were entering we were ask for tickets. Our driver did not give us the tickets to enter the hiking trail. We called the company no one answered and we did not have the phone number to the shuttle driver. The staff at Diamondhead did not want to let us in. however after taking sympathy on as they were nice and let us in. They could have said no and we would have to have sat in front of Diamondhead for 2 1/2. If you book with this company make sure your driver gives you your blue ticket for entry into the park.
After the hike it was a madhouse because the afternoon tours were coming in and the morning tours were going out. I received a phone call and it was a new shuttle driver who was supposed to take us to our original shuttle driver because he was caught in some type of traffic. It was a tight squeeze because this new shadow was much smaller than the ones that we came in on. The drive was really nice he gave us kind of like a sightseeing tour as we were going to the drop off location. We all get out and we’re kind of just standing around waiting. He tells us that the original shuttle driver is coming (he never showed). For people decided not to continue on with the second hike. So the shuttle driver said that instead of us waiting he could take us now because it was a smaller group. This isn’t their first time doing these tour so I would have expected things to run a lot smoother. I do recommend shopping around for different tour companies.

It was a more serious hike than I expected. The ground was muddy from the rain, making it quite slippery, so I had to be careful and could only walk slowly. However, the guide walked at an incredibly fast pace, and I couldn't keep up, so I ended up walking towards the back. They were explaining things along the way, but I couldn't hear anything. I was looking forward to the explanations about Hawaii's nature, so it was disappointing. I also didn't really like the lunch, so I could hardly eat anything.
思っていたより本格的なハイキングでした。
雨上がりで地面が泥になっていて結構滑るので気を付けてゆっくりしか歩けなかったのですが、ガイドさんの歩くスピードがすごく早くてついていけなくて後ろのほうを歩いていたのですが、途中途中説明してくれているのでしょうが何も聞けず。。ハワイの自然に関する説明も楽しみにしていたので残念でした。ランチも好きな味ではなくほとんど食べられなかったです。

Our tour consisted of five people: a couple from Canada, a woman from England, and my husband and I from Japan. This time, we visited a different waterfall due to construction at Manoa Falls, but we enjoyed walking through the forest and experiencing nature. It was great that our guide, Susumu, who is a bit stern-looking, provided fun explanations about the forest's nature. He also interpreted for us during conversations with people from different countries, which made communication with everyone enjoyable. We also had a lovely meal in the park. Thank you, Susumu!

I signed up for the tour at the last minute the day before. Although Manoa Falls was under construction and we went to an alternative location, I was able to enjoy a lovely time walking through a botanical garden filled with rare flowers while also seeing the waterfall. Both the driver and the guide were fun and attentive, and there was an American couple who alternated explanations in English and Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. We also had lunch in the park, and perhaps because the weather was nice, it tasted even better.

Before leaving Japan, the weather forecast for the scheduled day predicted a 60% chance of rain. I called the organizing company two days prior, and they assured me that the event had never been canceled and that they had raincoats and ponchos prepared, so it would be fine. On the day itself, it did rain a little, but it wasn't significant, and I didn't mind much; my windbreaker was sufficient. By the second half of the day, it even cleared up.
The course was changed to the Lyon Arboretum instead of the Manoa Falls area, which was under construction. It was fun not only to learn about the plants but also to have unexpected experiences like picking and cracking open kukui nuts to eat.
日本を発つ前から予定日の天気予報は雨60%。2日前には主催会社に電話もしましたが、今まで中止になったことはなく、合羽やポンチョを用意しているから大丈夫との返事。当日は少し降りましたが大した雨ではなく、あまり気にもならず、着ていったウインドブレーカーで十分。後半は晴れてもきました。
コースはマノアの滝方面が工事で行けない代わりのライオン植物園でしたが、植物の説明だけでなく、ククイの実を拾って割って食べるなど、思いがけない体験もして楽しかったです。

I heard that the water flow of the falls is amazing during the rainy season, so I would like to see that as well. The path was muddy after the rain, but it was manageable even for elementary school students. The lunch at Kapiolani Park at the end also became a wonderful memory. Thank you!

I was surprised to find such great nature just a 15-minute drive from Honolulu. It suddenly feels like you're in a jungle. The trekking is just the right amount. However, the slopes can be muddy, steep, and narrow, so it may not be suitable for elderly people or small children (under grade 3). Our guide was Billy, who spoke Japanese fluently and was very entertaining. He had a lot of dad jokes, which made it fun. A must-have is insect repellent, as there are many mosquitoes. Sandals are not recommended as they could lead to injuries. It’s not a situation where you would use an umbrella, so it's better to leave it behind and just accept the rain as a shower if it comes.
ホノルルから車で15分程度のところに、こんなに大自然があるとはびっくりです。急にジャングルになる感じです。トレッキングとしては量的に丁度よいかんじです。でも、斜面がぬかるんでたり、急斜面だったり、細かったり、なので、ご高齢の方や小さいお子さん(小3以下)には不向きでしょう。案内はビリーさんという日本語達者で面白いガイドさんでした。親父ギャグ(ダジャレ)盛沢山で楽しかったです。必需品は、蚊が多いので虫よけ。サンダルは怪我しそうなので不可。傘はさす状況にないので、持って行かず、雨降られたらシャワーとして受け入れるべきでしょう。

You will go into nature that far exceeds your imagination. The trees are so large that you’ve never seen anything like them, and you will be overwhelmed by the wonders of nature. A 4-year-old boy also participated and was able to walk on his own until the end, feeling adventurous. The guide is knowledgeable about plants and animals, making it perfect for learning about the land of Hawaii.
As expected, there are many mosquitoes as you go deeper into the mountains. Due to the high humidity, insect repellent spray is probably better than long pants. You can stop by a shop in the park before entering. You can buy spray there, so there's no need to worry. *It is said that local insect repellent is three times more effective than in Japan, so please be careful of contact with your eyes, nose, mouth, and mucous membranes, as indicated on the label.
想像をはるかに超える大自然の中にいきます。見たこともないくらいに大きな木や、自然の妙に圧倒されます。4歳の男児も一緒に参加しましたが、冒険気分で最後まで自分の足で歩けました。ガイドさんも植物や生き物に詳しく、ハワイの大地を知るにはもってこいです。
当たり前ですが山奥に入っていくので蚊がとても多いです。湿度が高いので、長ズボンよりは防虫スプレーでしょうか。
入山前に公園内のお店によります。
スプレーも買えるので、心配いりません。※現地の防虫スプレーは日本の3倍の威力とのことで、目鼻口や粘膜への接触に気をつけてください、表記もされています。

The trip to Diamond Head in the morning and Manoa Falls in the afternoon left plenty of time to do a round-trip and have time for a snack or rest. Bring water and your camera.
They plan on widening the path to Manoa Falls making it two-way. Can be very slippery and muddy, especially when it rains, which is most of the time. You'll see bare feet, flip-flops, nice sneakers, etc. Good walking shoes recommended. Enjoy the beautiful paintings of the Kings and Queens of Hawaii in the Manoa Falls visitors center.

Our guide Keola was the best. He provided us with valuable information about the eco system, history about the North Shore and Hawai’i and safety information during the hike.
The area is absolutely stunning. If you want to do something away from the commercial and touristy stuff in Waikiki this is a great way to see Hawai’i in all its beauty.
I would ensure you wear good hiking shoes or trail running shoes. Also this hike is not a leisure walk. You will earn your lunch.
Mahalo Larry for taking the time to leave a testimonial. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Keola - he is one of the best!
