Shuttle to Manoa Falls Rainforest Trail & Self-Guided Hike | 7am, 9am & 11am

Amazing View

Reviewed by: Ai

The Manoa Falls Trail has beautiful scenery and it’s an easy/ moderate hike going up. But the Manoa Falls at this time ( November) has little water but still worth the hike and a lot of great spots for IG.
Orlando our tour guide is very knowledgeable and made a lot of good recommendations around Honolulu. He provided us with water and bug spray. He is on time picking us up in the hotel.
Thank you and it was a great experience!

Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tour with Reserved Tickets & Shuttle from Waikiki

A great hike with amazing views and the tour operator was exceptional!

Reviewed by: JS

Everything went smoothly-tour operator picked us up on time at designated spot and returned us at appropriate time, and gave us a narrative talk about the area enroute to Diamond Head. The destination was exceptional -with amazing views of the inland and coastline. One tip- it appears that the later you go in the day the busier the trail gets. We left at 8:30 am and the crowds were manageable. If you're in Honolulu-definitely check this beauty out-and plan to get a good cardiovascular workout in climbing to the top!

Diamond Head Sunrise Hiking Shuttle from Waikiki - Blue Lei Hawaii Tours

Worth getting up for

Reviewed by: Novice hikers

This tour starts early, but it is worth it.
Nice bus great friendly driver.
The climb is fast paced if you want to reach the top in time for sunrise, not easy and you will be out of breath.
Truest worth th effort.
The way down is slower paced and super easy.
Loved this and glad we did it.

Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tour with Reserved Tickets & Shuttle from Waikiki

Great hike with beautiful views

Reviewed by: Amazing hike

This was a great hike. My husband and I aren’t expert hikers but found this to be enjoyable. The trail is very uneven but most trails are. Wear comfy shoes and take water to stay hydrated. It takes about an hour to get to the top and the views above Honolulu are amazing. We had time to take pictures and enjoy before heading back down. The driver of the shuttle was funny and made the trip even better.

Conquering the Crater: An Epic Hike Up Diamond Head

Reviewed by: jayne Golightly

The Diamond Head hike was absolutely unforgettable—a perfect blend of adventure and breathtaking views. The tour was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish, thanks to our awesome bus driver, Moko, who brought the perfect mix of local knowledge and good vibes. He made everything easy, from pick-up to drop-off, setting the tone for a brilliant morning. Reaching the summit and taking in the panoramic views of Waikiki was the ultimate reward—definitely a highlight of the trip

Diamond Crater

Reviewed by: John & Leena Western Australia

Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!

Diamond Head Hike with transportation

Reviewed by: Emm

Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!

Even the Rain Couldn’t Dampen Our Fun

Reviewed by: ChefGadgetKY

Our driver was wonderful and funny. I appreciate that he called us to tell us he had arrived at the pick-up spot. We didn’t see the van pull up and he was parked behind us. The hike is demanding especially in the rain. It was quite slippery on the way down. We had already purchased ponchos, but our driver had some for sale. We were able to complete the hike easily within the timeframe, and had time to stop in the gift shop. Just be aware of the weather and plan accordingly. Good shoes are a must!
