Beauty awaits!

My host Nicole provided a really fantastic experience up Koko Crater. 1000+ steps and would require a few stops even for me as someone who's in pretty good shape. The experience was challenging and the views are very rewarding! Nicole has a very positive energy and was very accommodating, and a great communicator. What a blast! Even stopped at a local coffee shop afterwards with beautiful views of Koko Crater and a nearby waterway. Would strongly recommend

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Eric! Thanks so much for the kind words. So much fun meeting you. You officially set the record for my fastest Kokohead hike so far...Hope our paths cross again in the future. Aloha!

Mission accomplished @ kokohead

This was our first time taking the challenge at kokohead trail and glad it was worth it . What made the experience more remarkable and memorable was Nicole . She is full of energy and made the tour a pleasant one by accomodating us from end to end. Her communication was spot on from the start . She was caring and passionate about what she does . My partner and I would recommend her tours and service to anyone visiting Waikīkī. The bonus this that this is a private tour with a nice drive and the awesome pictures she takes!

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Angela, You are so kind, mate! ;) It was a blast meeting you and hiking with you both. Thank you for the sweet words and recommendation!

Amazing Koko Head Experience with Nicole

Amaka_M, May 2026

I had an amazing experience hiking Koko Head with Nicole as my guide! She was incredibly personable and made me feel comfortable from the start, especially since I decided to do this hike solo. Her energy and overall vibe were so positive and encouraging throughout the entire hike. Nicole went at whatever pace I was comfortable with and continuously motivated me along the way. It’s definitely a challenging hike, but once you reach the top and see the breathtaking views, it is absolutely worth it. I was so proud of myself for accomplishing it! I would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone considering this experience. I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Hawaii, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again to book future adventures!

Amazing!

Doing this hike with Nicole was an amazing experience! She is not only the sweetest most positive free spirited person, she allows you to hike this at your own pace 🫶🏼. She made me feel confident and comfortable doing this hike as a solo traveler! I would definitely book this again with her 😊

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Aww you are too kind! Mahalo for booking with me and being so much fun!

Amazing experience

Nicole was amazing we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend a tour with her. She is so inspiring

Koko Head - fabulous guide!

rachel_m, Jul 2025

Fantastic experience! Nicole was supportive and motivating and I loved that it felt like we were old friends catching up. I really wanted to hike Koko Head with someone as a novice and am so glad I booked Nicole. The hike was challenging, but fun and as someone who is scared of heights I didn’t find it scary. When I return to Hawaii I’ll definitely be reaching out to Nicole for more adventures. Thank you!

I kicked off the trip...

Akari_O, Jun 2025

I kicked off the trip with Nicole and her super-nice ride—definitely set the tone for a relaxed, fun day. We chatted the whole way, stopped for a quick bathroom break, and then headed into the Koko Trail. Even though I work out regularly, I was surprised by how steep the trail was. But Nicole was always cheerfully encouraging, chatting with me non-stop and making the climb feel way easier and way more fun than I expected. When we reached the top, she took me off the beaten path to spots with hardly any people—perfect for awesome photos. As a solo traveler, I had an absolute blast, and Nicole’s warm personality made the whole experience extra special. Can’t recommend it enough!
