Below are the waterfall walks worth booking: trail length and mud level, whether Waimea Valley’s botanical gardens and swim are included, transport from Waikiki, and which ones suit families rather than hikers.

The hike back down can be somewhat treacherous so I advise caution and shoes with good grip. We also stopped at a great lookout point later on with fantastic windswept views.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 185 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $107

Guided Manoa Falls rainforest hike with Waikiki pickup, small-group pace, and Andy’s Sandwiches lunch at Tantalus Lookout.

“This was a great event! You feel so outside of Honolulu but it’s really a short drive and not too long in the van! The hike is 1.5 miles round trip (in and out) gravelly with some incline but pretty easy if you’re fit and have good shoes. The tour provides walking sticks if you think you need some help. Lots of places to stop for snacks and drinks and restrooms during the day. Lunch is at a different spot and was tasty but the view was INCREDIBLE! A 180-degree view from Diamond Head over to Pearl Harbor. Jason was our guide and he was the best! A true local…”

The boots are optional but we wore them and are very glad we did since some areas are muddy and we did cross a few streams. The waterfall is awesome. The guide stopped periodically and let us rest as he described the plants. He was friendly.”

I couldn’t recommend him more! If you’re looking for a fantastic guide, Travis is the one to go with!”
