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.

Having a shuttle to/from is a great way to not need a car to get to this hike!

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!!

Hike was nice and short/easy enough for many levels, but tour is basically a shuttle service to/from trailhead. No guide (and a guide is not necessary). You could probably just Uber to/from trailhead.
Also, some good tennis shoes or hiking shoes are recommended as much of the path is rock and was a little muddy. For comfort and safety, make sure you have shoes with thick sole and traction.

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.

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

Half hour up and half hour down
Gorgeous scenery on the trail and spectacular view at the top
Lucked out with only two others on the bus
Highly recommend
Bring water to drink and sturdy shoes
Trail lined with crushed and broken rocks that are slightly muddy and slippery Be careful
Walking poles can be helpful and some groups had them provided by their tour
Driver was local and entertaining and knowledgeable

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.

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.

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.

Both of these hikes were gorgeous, and very different terrains. However I am sure tired after two hikes in 1 day!

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!

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.

We were picked up on time for our shuttle service to the Manoa falls trail. Our driver was funny and entertaining and offered some details about the area. We were escorted to the entrance of the falls and our driver took our picture to document our adventure. The hike was easy to moderate…proper shoes are a must as it is slick in some areas due to the tropical and lush nature of the terrain. We did see some unprepared people attempt to hike in flip flops! Due to the low rainfall while we were there, the falls weren’t robust, but still a beautiful hike!

- Our driver Yama-san was really nice and friendly
- Best part for us: So much foliage within the trail
- Air was so fresh; and the temperature was definitely way cooler than in the city
- Trail is family-friendly; some areas can be slippery though so make sure to wear proper footwear
- Definitely recommend

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.
Mahalo for joining us during your Hawaiian vacation! We look forward to sharing more adventures with you the next time.

The greenery is the prettiest I’ve ever seen! Don’t focus on making it to the top and seeing the waterfall…the best part is the experience getting there!

Great experience! We loved the views and the information our guide provided. Each person of our 7 person group will tell you a different favorite point. The hike was fun, the waterfall beautiful, the bike ride was easier then expected, beautiful scenery and a bit thrilling. The sail home was relaxing after snorkeling and swimming with the sea turtles.

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.
