Michael our tour guide was wonderful! He was knowledgeable and spoke with us with ease and kindness. There wasn’t a question we asked him that he didn’t have an answer for. The tour was prepared for absolutely everything. We loved that they had already thought about what we might need as we hadn’t realized everything that was needed. Michael knew exactly where to stop for small breaks in the hike. We appreciate his knowledge, kindness, and charm. We would definitely book a tour with him again!!

Perfect hike

Kelly_B, Jan 2026
Makai was everything I love in a guide- clearly knowledgeable, stopped enough to see the sights but not so much to disrupt the flow, patient with my mother and her hip replacement. It had been rainy so the walk was slick but not impossible (makai provided walking sticks also, so thoughtful!) and the waterfall flow was perfect. Just what we hoped for!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aloha Kelly, That's so great that you and your mom had this rainforest experience together. Makai loves being a guide and glad you all had a chance to share in this adventure together. Until we meet again.. Aloha

Tour with amazing views and a wonderful guide.

Hidden Falls

Jarrett_M, Sep 2025
Nice relaxing ride to and from the trail head. Short easy hike up to the hidden falls. Tour guide Michael was the best!

Great hike

Brigitta_S, Nov 2024
Everything went really well. I was picked up on time, on the way we learned something about the history of Hawaii and we were guided through the jungle with a lot of attention. It was a great, short hike with wonderful look of the Ko'olau Range

Wonderful experience

Don_D, Oct 2024
Tour guide (Ray) was very personable, and provided a great experience. We appreciated the belt-packs, water & granola provided.

Lei is the best

LynneOswald, Apr 2024
Lei was an amazing and fun tour guide. She kept us entertained, and informed the entire time. She is the BEST

Take a Hike!

It’s a fun hike, and the falls are a pleasant visit. Daniel is a great guide…very knowledgeable about plants, animals, and Hawaii history. He’s also a font of information on much of European history, as well.

Fun experience

Christy_G, Feb 2024
Tour guide taught us really interesting things about plants. We paused at different times which were a good time for a break. Hike was a good challenge level for new hikers.

Fantastic hike!

Deborah_H, Nov 2023
The view was amazing. The guide knew all the tricks on how to navigate the path and where to go. The guide was a wealth of knowledge not just when it came to plant life, but also local history. Great trip!

Mahalo!

Teri’i, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and generous with his time. From the moment he picked us up from our hotel to the time he dropped us off, he shared his passion for Hawaiian nature and history in an informative and engaging way. One of the highlights of our trip - we thoroughly recommend him and this excursion!

Daniel you the best

Adrian_L, Mar 2022
Wonderful experience and I’m glad to be part of a group of other sweet people. The waterfall and locations were quite exquisite!!!

Gorgeous!

Iris_P, Sep 2021
The trail was so beautiful and the views spectacular. Great hike! It was better than I expected and much appreciated with our guide Ismael. I would recommend this hike to anyone who wants to explore and enjoy the beauty of nature. It was totally worth it!

Waterfall was less than expected

Moises_C, Aug 2021
Noa the guide was great. Provided a lot of great historical information and was very respectful. Waterfall was not a waterfall. Misleading

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Mahalo for joining us. We're confused why you feel mislead. It is a double-tiered waterfall highly sought after for its natural beauty and consistent flow of water. The pictures of these falls are accurate and many images were taken by guests themselves.

Great hike

Huyen_H, Aug 2021
We had so much fun during the whole hike. The sceneries are so refreshing and the air is super fresh and clean. Our tour guide, Ismael, was so helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely a must try.

Nice hike- more than moderate

Hilary_C, Aug 2021
Terii gave a great tour of Honolulu on the way to the waterfall and on the way back. The terrain was very wet and muddy which was slippery and there were lots of rocks and tree roots. The description of the hike was moderate, but I felt it was more than moderate. There should be more details in the description. That being said, Terii was very helpful guiding me down the trail on the way out to make sure I didn’t slip and fall.

Informed tour

Jenni_M, Jul 2021
Informative tour guide! He pointed out plants and trees along the way that helped us get a better idea of the history of the island.

Definitely recommend!

Justine_R, Jul 2021
This hike was awesome! First, I have to say I was a little hesitant because there weren’t many reviews, but it was well worth it. Our guide was amazing! My friend and I accidentally got on a bus with the wrong tour (miscommunication with the guide with that company) but our guide (I forgot his name) was amazing. He worked with us and was able to come back so we did not miss the hike. The hike was beautiful! The guide was able to give us lots of information about the island, hike, animals, etc. It was a fairly small group, about 8, which was nice. The waterfall it self was really pretty and not nearly as busy as many of the hikes close to Honolulu. Definitely recommend.

Great experience

Mikah, Jul 2021
Great times with a group of fun people and a cool tour guide. Terrii provided great information about Hawaii.

The whole Hike was amazing not just the waterfall!

Tyler_R, Jun 2021
Terii I think that is how you spell his name was amazing! Super informative and pointed out things along the trail and was super helpful through the posts that needed a little extra help! I would love to go more tours with him he was great!

Amazing

nalani_k, May 2021
Guide Terii was funny and kept us engaged and it was fairly easy. There were people playing music and fire dancing kinda took away from the nature part of it

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Mahalo for your review. Our staff works hard to make your time with us well spent. I did hear about the other group being loud. Please come again and try another tour.. we have some great properties we work with,

Great

Anne_V, Nov 2023
Belle randonnée dans la forêt tropicale avec une belle cascade à l'arrivée. Le chemin n'est pas compliqué, même si ça glisse par moments. A la suite d'annulations, nous n'étions finalement que 2 avec notre guide. C'était super, il a bien pris le temps de nous parler de l'île, de son histoire, puis de la faune et de la flore lors de la randonnée.
