Hike lush Manoa Falls, learn about Oahu plants and history, then take in Waikiki and Diamond Head from Puʻu ʻUalakaʻa State Park.

“Gorgeous Hike! Beautiful. Our tour guide was sweet, kind, helpful and cautious. She talked WAY too loud (on microphone the entire time in small van) and WAY too much. She did not breathe. It took away some of the enjoyment of the trip. She had a lot of good info just WAY too much of it. No chance to engage and ask questions without interrupting.”

Hike through Oahu’s lush Manoa rainforest to a 150-foot waterfall with Waikiki pickup, water, bug spray, and a walking stick included.

“If you’re looking for a simple way to explore the Manoa rainforest without a formal guide, this self-guided tour does the trick.

The transportation included a couple of quick points of interest: the driver noted Obama’s first job at Baskin Robbins and pointed out the hospital that issued his birth certificate on the way to the trailhead. From there, you’re free to hike at your own pace. The trail…”

Diamond Head shuttle from Waikiki with park reservations included, free time for a self-guided hike, summit views, and round-trip transport.

“We were given the wrong meeting time for our shuttle pickup. It's not a two and a half hour tour It's 3 hours. We spent $40.00 in a taxi chasing down the " included " shuttle. Then at drop off the driver dropped off the riders in a different order so we had to take an Uber back, which is what we should have done to begin with.”
