Oahu
It was great to have round trip transportation and everything provided such as waters, walking sticks, and bug spray. It was pouring rain when we went and the rain ponchos came in handy for $5. We felt very prepared for the hike along with information of its history and movie sites to look for. Was an enjoyable time
Our family of 4 loved the variety of this tour! We have 2 older teenage boys (17 and 19) and our family loves to travel! The hike was a great way to start the trip! It was so beautiful going up and WOW, the view at the top is spectacular! The next stop was a food truck that had malasadas….don’t miss this! Yumm, my boys LOVED them! The rest of the tour was fantastic and the guide offered so much history detail and information! All the stops were great and we especially loved the north shore!
Hello E Jones,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a good time on the trip. The malasadas taste so good after finishing the hike. We are glad all of you enjoyed the tour. We really appreciate your comments. Thank you again for joining our tour and hopefully you will be able to visit the Islands once again.

It was the day after we arrived in Hawaii, but I was able to walk energetically. The group members were friendly, with an equal mix of Japanese and international participants, and the two guides led us in both Japanese and English, making the hike enjoyable.
ハワイ到着の翌日でしたが、元気に歩けました。
参加メンバーも和気藹々、日本人と海外の方と半々でしたが、ガイドさんお二人が日本語と英語で引率、楽しくハイキング出来ました。
We had a great tour and greatly recommend John as the tour guide. He was patient and knowledgeable and made for a great day!
Hello Family,
We are glad to hear that you had a great time with John. He really knows what he doing. Really knows his food as well. Also funny as well. We appreciate your review and thank you for booking with us. We really appreciate it.

The tour included a Japanese guide, but most participants were from overseas, so the explanations were primarily in English, with occasional translations in Japanese. If you asked questions, they would respond in Japanese. During the trekking, the group gradually spread out at their own pace, so I hardly listened to the explanations in the second half, but I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent nature and the fresh air around me. I never thought I would go out of my way to experience such impressive nature in Japan, so I'm glad I participated in this tour! For those interested in the Manoa Falls tour, I hope you can enjoy the great outdoors without worrying too much about language or history.
日本語ガイドさん付きでしたが、参加者の方は海外の方が多く基本的には英語、日本語でもちょくちょく解説してくれる感じでした。
質問したら日本語で教えてくれますし、トレッキング中はだんだん団体の間隔がそれぞれのペースで空いてくるので、後半はほとんど解説を聞いてなかったんですが、目の前に広がる大自然と肌に感じる澄んだ空気で全然楽しめました^ ^
日本でなかなかここまで立派な自然をわざわざ感じに行こうとは思わなかったので、参加して良かったツアーです!
マノアの滝ツアーが気になる方は言葉とか歴史とかはあまり気にせず、とにかく大自然をいっぱい堪能してほしいなと思いました^ ^
There were three of us participating, and the rest were about 25 foreign guests. We were lucky to have two guides, and one Japanese guide was assigned to our group of three, providing detailed explanations on various topics. The ground was wet and uneven, so it was necessary to take precautions against slipping. I think it's best to be prepared for muddy shoes as well. The path to the waterfall features various plants and power spots, so it was never boring.
On the way back, we received sandwiches and were taken directly to Tantalus Lookout for lunch. It was a beautiful hill with a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki, and it felt wonderful to be there.
私達3人で参加しました、他は全て25人程は外国人の方々でした。
ガイドさんが二人付いてくれてて、一人の日本人ガイドさんが3人に付いてくれたのでとてもラッキーで細かい事まで丁寧に説明してもらえました。
足下は湿ってて足がゴロゴロしてるので、滑らない工夫が必要です。泥で靴も汚れますので覚悟してたほうがいいと思います、滝までの道のりは色々な植物やパワースポットがあり飽きません。
帰りにサンドイッチを受け取りそのままタンタラスの丘まで連れて行ってもらい昼食でした、ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキが見渡せるとても見晴らしのキレイな丘で気持ち良かったです。
easy quick hike to a gorgeous fall! a bit of rocky terrain to be weary
Oahu is so beautiful- Diamondhead is a must see but to add the Makapuu Lighthouse was an easy transfer for my day
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!!!
Hello Eelang,
Thank you so much for your review. We had a good time on the tour that day. Saw a lot of good sights and had a lot of great food. Hope you guys got to eat some Pho after dropping you off. Hope you enjoyed your time In Hawaii and please stop by any chance you get.

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.
Hello Emily,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a good time with Stephanie. She really does a great job. We are glad you enjoyed the tour and was able to catch all the beautiful spots on the Island. Thank you again for your kind review and enjoy the rest of your time on Oahu.

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。
We sincerely apologize for the issues that occurred with Nature and You Tour. The current visit to the office was primarily intended for the prior use of the restroom and for customers without drinks to make purchases. We also acknowledge that we did not provide sufficient explanation in advance, which is our oversight. We appreciate your feedback. We are truly sorry for the significant inconvenience caused by the delay of the vehicle.
この度はネイチャーアンドユーツアーにおきまして不備がございました事心よりお詫び申し上げます。
オフィスに現在立ち寄って頂いておりますのはメインにレストルームの事前使用とお飲み物をお持ちでないお客様にご購入頂ける趣旨でございました。
事前にご説明が充分に出来ていなかった事につきましても弊社の不手際で御座います。
ご指摘いただけました事感謝致します。
車両の遅延につきましても多大なるご迷惑をおかけしてしまい、本当に申し訳御座いませんでした。
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.
I wish that the tour gave a bit more time as I felt a bit rushed at the top of Diamondhead. As well note that Diamondheads trail is pretty unpaved and rocky.
Our driver was amazing. So kind and friendly. The hike was beautiful. Definitely worth doing if you are in the area. I would do it again.
Early, however really great. it is timed to just be aware when your going up.
Malasadas are an awesome end!
The hikes were beautiful and it was wonderful to have the transportation and tickets taken care of. The shuttle picked us up and dropped us off right next to our hotel. We got to meet some great people and have some laughs. We highly recommend this company.
The hike was VERY muddy! Not so much of the mud being a nuisance, as much as the slippery parts. Then cooling off with downhill bike ride with scenic views of Waikiki and Honolulu, even Pearl city. We enjoyed our time.
I booked this tour with a Japanese guide because my husband doesn't speak English, but the guide and the other participants were all from English-speaking countries and knew zero Japanese. The tour itself was enjoyable, but I was a bit surprised.
旦那さんが英語を話せないので日本語ガイド付きのこちらのツアーを予約しましたが、ガイドおよびツアー参加者が英語圏の方で、日本語はゼロ。ツアー自体は楽しかったですが、少しびっくりしました。
Thank you very much for participating in the Nature and You Manoa Falls Hiking Tour. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by our mistake in not assigning a Japanese guide.
この度はネイチャーアンドユー・マノアの滝ハイキングツアーにご参加いただきまして誠に有難う御座いました。弊社の手違いで日本語ガイドがアサインされておらず大変ご迷惑お掛け致しました。謹んでお詫び申し上げます。
I was able to walk through the jungle-like trees and feel the essence of Hawaii, enjoying the rare and precious scenery along with the refreshing air. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of water at Manoa Falls for the tour, but the lunch sandwich was delicious, and I'm glad I signed up for this tour.
ハワイらしさを感じるジャングルのような木々の中を
歩いて珍しい貴重な景色や清々しい空気で気持ち良く
参加する事が出来ました
正直、マノアの滝ツアーとしては滝の水の量が
少なくて少々残念に思いましたが
ランチのサンドイッチも美味しく頂けましたし
このツアーに申込んで良かったです
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.
場所はワイキキから車で30分程度のところにあり、
ワイキキでの参加者のピックアップの方が時間がかかったぐらいです。
ハイキングツアーとなっていますが、
結構な坂道になっており、雨も降ったり止んだりで
カッパを着たり脱いだりしていたため、結構汗をかき疲れました。
(雨が降ることが多いところらしいので、
滑りにくい靴とカッパは必要だと思います)
また、蚊が結構いるため虫除けスプレーか長ズボンがお勧めです。
(短パンで行ったため何ヶ所か蚊に刺されました)
神秘的な森と、結構大きな滝が見れて最高でした。
帰りはタンタラスの丘で昼食。パストラミサンドにしましたが、
特にドレッシングがとても美味しかったです。
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.
We were picked up promptly and driver very informative. Dropped off on time to do our event. Upon completion driver there with our fresh malasadas. Then took us and got us seated for our açaí bowls. Came back, on schedule, an hour later and then dropped us back off at our hotel. All so perfectly done and what a pleasant driver.
Excellent hotel to crater service. Adam was courteous and knowledgeable.
It was a fun experience, our tour guide Stephanie was informative, kind, funny and patient. The sights she took us to see were breathtaking. The sunrise at Diamond head was amazing!
Hello Arlene,
We are glad you had a good time with Stephanie. She really knows a lot about the Island and is always friendly. We enjoy having her around. But thank you so much for writing a review for us. It really helps us out. Thank you also for booking with us and hope you had a wonderful vacation in Hawaii.

John was a nice man and a good driver. We tried to encourage conversation with information about our tour but it didn’t help. A gentleman on the bus gave more information because he had taken a similar tour in June. John did not put his headset on only lifted it occasionally to talk. Like I said a nice man but the tour was long, quiet and boring. Thankfully the other passengers were friendly. Thank you
Hello Paula,
Thank you for your review. We wish you could have a more enjoyable time with John on our tour. We will work with John to make our tour a bit more interesting but agree with you that he is a nice guy. But thank you for your honest comments which will make us better in the future. We hope you had an enjoyable time in Hawaii.

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。
Both of these hikes were gorgeous, and very different terrains. However I am sure tired after two hikes in 1 day!
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.
軽装で参加いたしました。手軽なハイキングコースと思いつつ出発しましたが、前日荒天だったとのことで途中倒れかけた竹藪の中を進みました
滝に到着するまでは、きつい坂道もあり汗でびっしょりになりましたが
達成感は100%でした
帰りにはランチをいただきましたが、これがまた美味しくて ご褒美のようで
大満足でした。
帰途タンタラスの丘からの眺めも良くて コースとしては最高でした
Timely pick up and drop off with friendly and knowledgable guide/driver.
Thank you very much for your kind assistance the day before yesterday, Kanako! I appreciate your enthusiastic explanations during the tour! I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.
KANAKOさん一昨日は大変お世話になりました!
ツアー中の熱心なご説明有難うございました!
明日も宜しくお願い致します。
