Manoa Falls Hiking Tour マノア滝ハイキングツアー

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.

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。

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.

Safe but boring

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

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.

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

大満足でした。

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...

Hello J.L,

Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a had a good time with John. The weather in December is really like our rainy season so it has been very cloudy recently in the early mornings. Sneakers are definitely recommended especially for the hiking part. But we are glad you had a good time on the tour and we hope you enjoyed your entire stay in Hawaii.

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。

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.

You can feel the nature of Oahu! オアフ島の自然を感じられる!

Reviewed by: ロッキー

We found out that there were no other Japanese participants besides us on the pickup bus, but we felt reassured knowing that our Japanese guide, Hiro, was there to support us. The path to Manoa Falls was through a lush tropical rainforest, allowing us to enjoy a side of Oahu beyond just the beaches. The local guide who explained about the plants was friendly and had a lively tone, making it enjoyable! After walking just under 1 km, we arrived at Manoa Falls, which had a decent height but a relatively low water flow. The width of the waterfall was unexpectedly narrow, which was a bit disappointing. Exiting the rainy tropical rainforest, Manoa town was dry, and it was interesting to see the climatic changes due to the terrain. We picked up lunch at a popular sandwich shop that has been around for three generations and headed to Tantalus Hill. Enjoying a sandwich that lived up to its reputation while overlooking Diamond Head and the hotels in Waikiki was incredibly pleasant. Although Hiro, our Japanese guide, mentioned that he has only been a guide for a short time, we appreciated his attention to detail.

ピックアップのバスに乗ってみて自分達夫婦以外に日本人の参加者はいないことが分かりましたが、ちゃんと日本人ガイドのHiroさんが付いてサポートしてくれて安心。
マノアの滝までの道は鬱蒼とした熱帯雨林で、ビーチだけではないオアフ島を楽しめた。植物などについて説明してくれた現地ガイドの方は気さく、軽快な口調で面白かった!1km弱歩いて到着したマノアの滝は高さはそこそこあるものの水量が少なめ。滝の幅が予想外に狭くてややガッカリ。雨が降る熱帯雨林から出るとマノアの街はカラッとしていて地形による気候の変化が面白かった。街中で3代続く人気のサンドイッチ店でランチをピックアップしてタンタラスの丘へ。ここからダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキのホテル群など一望しながら、人気店と言われることが納得できるサンドイッチを頬張るのは凄く心地良かった。

After that, one guide took just five of us for an afternoon hike in Kailua, which was not too strenuous and was a fun course filled with nature. Since it had rained beforehand, the ground was slippery, so please choose shoes that won't slip. We received snacks and water, but since it was around lunchtime, it would have been nice to have lunch boxes or something similar.

Aloha , I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment. While short segments of the movies were filmed at this location, we felt that it is worth mentioning due to their popularity. However, our hiking tours are more about the natural history and not the movies. We do apologize for the confusion.

The day was perfect. It was an early start but I honestly couldn’t imagine doing Diamond Head any later. Bring water bottles or you’ll be thirsty!

He wasn’t overly talkative which we all appreciated so we could have some conversation but he was super knowledgeable and told us some super awesome things about Hawaii and the local secrets!

This hike I would consider moderate, and is a spectacular view of the city and naturescape of Waikiki/ Honolulu. We continued on to several stops around the island of Oahu that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to see as we didn’t rent a car for this trip. This full day adventure allows you to see many sites as well as learn about the region via a knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend!!

It was so worth it!!! We were glad that we took this tour, we had the chance to see how beautiful the view was from the top of Diamond Head. We sweat a lot but it was a good exercise early in the morning. We had multiple stops and saw a lot of stunning views. Our lunch stop was in an area with multiple food trucks. There’s a lot to choose from but it looks like Giovanni’s shrimp scampi is the most popular. No regret that we go with the hype as their shrimp was so tasty garnished with a good amount of garlic. Need more rice please lol. Stephanie our tour guide/ driver was so nice, she was very patient and seemed to really enjoy what she is doing. There’s so much pride in her when she is showing this area of Hawaii. Thank you Stephanie for your warm service.
