Great experience! Highly recommend! - Our guides Jason & Mei were wonderful! They were very informative & passed on some of their knowledge about the island’s history & culture during the shuttle ride & during the hike. The hike itself was absolutely beautiful! It had rained the morning of, so it was muddy & we had to be careful not to slip on any rocks.. Our guides provided walking sticks & bug spray which was very helpful & we made stops along the way to take pictures. Once we reached the waterfall at the end, we turned around & hiked back on the same path. After the hike we got back into the shuttle & we made a quick stop for one of the guides to run out and grab our freshly made sandwiches at a local sandwich shop and then we headed to the state park for a picnic with a beautiful view & ate them! They were delicious and everything about this experience was amazing!

Great hike and gorgeous views of the fall and Diamond Head. - Really fun and well organized hike. Jason our guide/driver and Tomomi were fantastic. Jason was great pointing out the sights in Waikiki, plus imparting some of the Hawaiin culture and language. The hike itself was fun, not too streneous and most able bodies can do it. It does get a bit humid and a little steeper 3/4 of the way. Think most people in reasonable shape can do it. The fall wasn't too full but it is still beatifull so a nice reward after a 30-35 minutes hike. At the little store, I did try the Hilolea/Lychee Hawaiin Sun beverage that Jason recommended and it was delicious and refreshing. Following that we headed to the Radio Tower lookup with gorgeous views of Diamond Head and Waikiki/Honolulu bay area. While we enjoyed a delicious sandwich (included in the price). I chose the pastrami with some lettuce/sprout from Andy's. Their homemade dressing was delicious. The mini bus was well maintained and clean. Great value for the price. Highly recommend it.

Manoa Fallen tree - Thank goodness I opted to have a walking stick. I think it really helps on the return so that you don't lose your balance and slip on the rocks. It was a slight challenge but weather wasn't too hot and manageable under all the tropical environment. There was an unexpected tree fall which we had to do a somewhat limbo dance to get through. Thank goodness no one was killed But overall it's worth seeing.
