Great adventure. Caleb is awesome!

Paul_B, Nov 2025

Amazing views of the area as you are hiking up and a great experience coming down the waterfall! Caleb is an awesome guide!

Awesome experience

Alicia_B, Aug 2025

Caleb was an absolutely awesome guide. Super communicative, knowledgeable, and just a good time. He made sure we were safe and comfortable the entire experience, and really met us at our skill level. An absolutely beautiful hike to kick off the day. We’re avid hikers, so found it to be right up our alley, but know that there are some scrambles and it is off the beaten path. Probably my favorite thing we did while exploring the different Hawaiian islands. Thanks, Caleb!!

The best excursion we did on Waikiki!

Exhilarating! First, Caleb is just a wonderful person and for this kind of activity you need that. The hike is a little wild as it’s not really a trail, I think it adds more to that jungle hike experience, but I promise it is SO WORTH IT! What a view! The waterfall drops into a little pool that you can swim in. It is such a beautiful hike, and then you get to the crazy and fun part- the rapelling, you can absolutely do it. Caleb made the experience feel like my husband and I were on a hike with a friend which made us feel more comfortable and then excited about the rapelling part. He makes it feel less stuffy out there, calms you down and gets you pumped for the experience. Thank you Caleb! Next time we hope to do an excursion with him and our family- Jemely & Jerry

Highlight of My Trip! Just Book It!

Jacob_B, Feb 2025

This was hands down one of the coolest things I have done on any trip anywhere. Hiking to the top should not be undersold as it was just as exhilarating as the waterfall rappel (I'm sure that's a controversial take lol but the views were great). I'm an experienced hiker in my 30s and a casual indoor rock climber. The pictures I got from this were incredible! The trail to the top wasn't as difficult as others had made it seem online in Google reviews. That being said it is still very rugged. When I hiked, the conditions to the top were pretty dry and there were no issues with mosquitos but I could see it getty pretty muddy after some rain. Bring good hiking shoes! I did the Extreme version of this excursion and it was well worth it! Caleb did a great job of explaining the gear, how to use it, and even gave me a practice rappel on a small hill which was nice to help build my confidence before the real thing. I wore quick dry shorts, a wetsuit top provided by Caleb, and special cloth shoes to help grip the rocks also provided by Caleb. Make sure to bring a hat to keep water out of your eyes as you rappel! Caleb was a awesome guide, he took safety seriously, took time to tell me about the land, plants, and animals in the area and was overall super fun to hang out with. He was very responsive to my questions via email prior to my trip an he was also a great photographer!

Don’t think, just book

Honestly once in a lifetime. One of the coolest most exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had — and I’ve done doors off helicopter tours, skydiving, surfing, etc. Can’t recommend enough!
