They drop you off and you go at your pace. They called to see when you want to be picked up. The walk was nice but the waterfall was disappointing.

Will was a wonderful tour guide. He had so many stories and history to share. He was so prepared with water, walking sticks and even mosquito spray. Beautiful hike to a waterfall !

The price I paid for this activity is not worth it..! I totally regret it to use a “tour” and paid for money for it 😡
DonnaK_H, Feb 2025
Our tour guide was so wonderful. She was very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The hike was beautiful and we loved the extra view point she took us to.

I really enjoyed the hike up to see Manoa falls. The scenery was very luscious all the way to the top and our tour guide knew his stuff in regards to the plant life and animals. 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.

The fall was beautiful, with stunning vegetation. The Puu Ualakaa State Park, as per the tour itinerary, was not included in the trip. A little disappointed as we were looking forward to the views.

Great excursion to see some forest instead of ocean! The waterfall was pretty and many small delights on the way up and down, such as the little crawfish. Great viewpoint to see the city from above too!

Beautiful. Robert our tour guide was very good at explaining the diferente types of plants, and animals.
Van_H, Aug 2024
Robert, our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful. He prepared ponchos, walking sticks, water, and (most importantly) bug spray! The hike was not too difficult, I found it harder coming down than going up. You are hiking through the rainforest area so there is a large chance of muddy trails and puddles, so wear proper shoes and ones you are not precious with.

Time with family, did not rain, tour was okay, our guide made it totally worth it though, nothing else to say
Natividad_G, Jun 2024
The guide was excellent with a lot of knowledge of the surrounding and pleasurable. I would recommend this trip.

Cortina was great! I loved it! I highly recommend it! She was very knowledgeable and caring. She took her time to explain the history.
Fred_J, Jun 2024
We read several reviews just raving about this particular tour guide named Robert. Every 5 Star Review had Robert as the tour guide.
As one can imagine, we were really happy when our driver picked us up and it was the famous “Five Star” Robert!
He definitely lived up to his reputation. Funny, knowledgeable, and so expressive with his body language and voice.
The ride, and Robert’s driving, was smooth, the hike relaxed, and Robert kept the group together and engaged the whole time.
The falls were SPECTACULAR!! The view from the top of Tantalus was stellar.
The trip was enjoyable from the start to finish.

Robert was our tour guide. He was great at guiding us up and down the hike to the waterfall and back. He really went the extra mile. It was really nice to have a tour guide on this hike
Thomas_J, May 2024
The waterfall was beautiful and worth the hike up. Alittle steep and loose rocks and quite muddy. Out your said it came with. If spray however we did not get any and they are a lot of mosquitos. Didn’t see much benefit from the tour when you can do it on your own, other than transportation.
Miyuki_H, May 2024
Our guide was great, knowledgeable, and patient. Hike was easy enough even after the heavy rain and the waterfall was beautiful! Worth the hike!!
Mary_J, May 2024
Robert our guide was FANTASTIC! He was very informative and kept the hike at steady pace. He made sure we were ok walking the trail. I highly recommend.
Gerard_s, Apr 2024
Chris was great guide. Well knowledgeable and professional. Very energetic. Learned a lot about local plants and some customs. Tour was perfect for a couple of 60 year olds who loved to hike.
BeckyH, Apr 2024
Super fun! Even though it rained the whole time we were there! But still beautiful to be in nature !!
Sarah_M, Apr 2024
Our tour guide was lovely and very informative. She took tons of photos for us and was just so delightful. The hike itself was pretty crowded.
Tracytiki, Mar 2024
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.
Paul_W, Mar 2024
Good tour enjoyed it nice photo opportunities and also a nice hike to enjoy. It’s 3.5 - 4 hrs long so plan accordingly
Brian_T, Feb 2024
The hike to the waterfall, which was almost dried up but it’s a toss up, would you rather have tons of mud and a huge waterfall or a little mud and a little waterfall lol absolutely gorgeous either way. Would recommend if you don’t get to go out into the actual island much.
Carol_S, Jan 2024
Hema is an amazing guide! We thoroughly enjoyed the hike! We enjoyed every aspect of the trip! Thank you for having such a wonderful outing!
Rossanna_M, Dec 2023
The hike wast too hard. The guide Arlane was amazing, funny and very informative. Really enjoyed this tour hike 5/5 ⭐
Danica_G, Dec 2023
We had a great time on this hike. Our guide, Robert, was super! Very knowledgeable about the area. He taught us all about the local flora and fauna. And he helped us take great pics! We really enjoyed spending time with him. Highly recommend!!
Ron_W, Dec 2023
Beautiful view. Hike was a bit challenging with lots of slippery stones. Otherwise great and knowledgeable leader
MariaDee_S, Sep 2023
I will definitely recommend this. With Robert as our guide, we learned a lot about the flora and fauna of Manoa, which we would not have known if we did the hike on our own. The water in the falls was not overflowing, but because we already read this in old reviews, we managed our expectations. But the hike in the rainforest is worthy of one's time. And we got a refreshing rainshower when we got to the falls. So 5 stars for Robert and the experience!
Minty_B, Sep 2023
The hike was really nice but we weren’t taken to a lookout point as was advertised here. The hike ended earlier than I expected . I messaged the tour provider informing that we did not get taken to a lookout point and requested a partial refund, and they told me we did just before the hike even though we were taken straight to the fall after pick up. I felt the price was reasonable because of the lookout point but since we weren’t taken there I find this tour to be way overpriced sadly
