Matthew went above and beyond to make our experience memorable! Definitely bring lots of water and good hiking shoes as the falls can be a bit muddy. The driver provided water, hiking sticks, and bug spray which is a must. Great experience

We had a great time with this tour! You got to see gorgeous views from the diamond head and visited Manoa falls that felt like you were in the jungle. It was beautiful! The both tour guides were super nice.

Great day long excursion

Reviewed by: Cardsmab

We had great weather for the day. Diamond Head was a reasonably short hike with an amazing view of the island. Manoa falls was a nice hike through the jungle…was expecting a little more with the falls themselves. Overall great experience though.

Really good

Reviewed by: Bryant

We had 2 different drivers, one for DH and one for the waterfall. Both were excellent. They had waters for the end of the trip, and the waterfall driver had bug spray and walking sticks for everyone who needed them. They were both knowledgeable about the trails and gave great tips. Excellent!!

Hawaiian Beauty Hiking Shuttle: Diamond Head & Manoa Falls Jurassic Rainforest

Hiking combo

Reviewed by: Shenelle

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.

Easy and informative

Reviewed by: Tritia

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

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.

Waterfall hike first and bike ride second; good combo.

Reviewed by: -PAUL-

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.

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.

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.

The hiking tour was great. The pick-up was smoothly and made everything easier. Hiro was an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge about the plants and history of the island! The lunch was great, the way from the lookout was amazing where you could see the Diamond Head, Waikiki, Pearl Harbour and the airport! Thank you Hiro for an amazing tour!

Oahu Waterfall Hiking Tour with Expert Guide - Manoa Valley & Koolau Trails

Not worth it.

Reviewed by: Unsatisfied

The site says you see areas of where jurassic park and lost was filmed but the instructor didn't mention anything once. At the end of the tour she asked if I've seen the movies, and it didn't go further than that. She talked about how her tips were for her vacations. Google it. Save yourself money and take yourself on the tour.

Reply from activity provider

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.

Well-maintained trail that was mostly gravel. I'd recommend athletic shoes but you won't need hiking spikes. I wore regular running shoes. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot more about the Manoa Valley.
