ガイドブックに載っているマノアの滝に行った方で、歩き足りなかった方やもう少し冒険したい方にオススメです!
参加者は私を含め7名でした。一人参加が3名、カップル1組、ご夫婦1組で、全員アメリカ本土からの方でした。ガイドは基本的に英語ですが、ほんの少し知ってる日本語を披露してくれました。全く英語がわからない方でも平気だと思います。とゆうより、かなり頑張って歩くので移動中はみんな話す余裕はなかったです。
思ったより道なき道を進む感じで、トレッキングシューズを履いていくか、長靴が借りられるので履き替えた方がよいと思います。半袖&ハーフパンツで行きましたが、虫除けスプレーをしても刺されてしまったので(すぐ腫れは引きました♪)、蚊に刺されやすい方は長ズボンをお勧めします。持ち物などは、記載された通りで平気でした。

The hike was wonderful, something different from the beach. The guide was informative and we had an enjoyable time. However, the bike ride was rather slow. We were accomplished bikers and had to wait many times for slow people to catch up. It would have been more fun if they had divided the group up and let the fast ones go,go,go.

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was Stan, he was very knowledgeable about the species we found on the way to the falls, he was entertaining and fan to be with, he made our trip really enjoyable. Even though there wasn't a lot of water on the falls the trip is well worth your money. He also recommended us the best Thai food restaurant in Waikiki. Thanks Stan!.

The rain tree forest was a wonderful adventure for us. Nina of Oahu Tours was extremely knowelgeable and patient guests who had knee troubles etc. The hike was about 1 mile in and out to see the Falls. Its amazing how the terrain of Oahu changes within a couple of miles from the city of Honolulu.

This was a terrific hike, however I really wouldn't recommend for young children. There were some pretty big steps and places you had to find your way as the step up was 24 inches or better and with rain, the path can be pretty muddy and slippery. Good shoes are important. Trail is narrow in places and someone has to step off to the side if there are people going both directions. Lots of breathtaking plants and flowers to see. Since the falls are rain fed, their size is completely dependent on the rain. If it hasn't for a while, you may only see a wet wall where the falls are.

This hike was so fun and such beautiful sights. YOu'll come out with some awesome pictures to show your friends! Our guide was really good too- he knew all the facts about the plants and trees and even where certain movies had been filmed and what not. The waterfall was an amazing finale as well!! Everyone should try this when they take a trip to Hawaii!

We did the all day activity and it was terrific. My husband and I took our 17 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter with us and even they had a good time. My daughter liked the hike, especially the mud, and my son liked the bike ride down. We all enjoyed the snorkeling. We saw 3 giant sea turtles and a couple different types of fish. I highly recommend motion sickness pills if you aren't use to a boat ride. Our guide Jeremy was the perfect guide. I would definitely recommend this activity to families.

This hike was great fun and even though Oahu is experiencing a draught Manoa Falls was beautiful. Our tour guide (Jeanette) made the hiking experience so much fun. She knew exactly how to pace us and when time for a rest stop it was always near an interesting tree etc. and she would take the time to give us its history. She was very knowledgable, friendly and patient. We learned much about Hawaii during our hike and she continued "teaching" us as she drove us back to our hotels! Great time and beautiful scenery.

Our family did the Hike, Bike, Sail and Snorkel Tour and had a great time. It gave us a great blend of three different ways to see the island - hiking the rain forest, biking down the mountain (getting a GREAT view of Diamond Head and Waikiki during our lunch break), and snorkeling just off the coast.
Our tour guide, Jeremy, was fantastic. He was very personable and knowledgeable. My 10 year old son, enjoyed hiking and biking right by Jeremy and asking a TON of questions. And Jeremy did a superb job of answering all of his questions, never being bothered by them.
My family would definitely recommend this tour (all three parts) to anyone.

I have to say that our guide was absolutely amazing. I even at one point asked if he was a naturalist. His degree was in polynesian studies, so he wasn't just a 'cab driver' and hiking 'escort'. We felt like we really were educated not only on Oahu, but all of the Hawaiian islands. The hike was an easy one for anyone who has any hiking experience at all. It can be muddy, but it is well worth it. The falls for us were just a trickle as it hadn't rained in a few days and the strength of the falls are obviously directly related to the amount of rainfall. We still felt the hike was worth it, even if it was more like a 'drip' than a 'fall' the education we got about the tree's, plants, history, nuts, animals....you name it. I just can't say enough good things about our guide (Greg or maybe Craig, we can't remember) he was just so knowledgeable and friendly. He spoke with everyone, left no one straggling behind, made sure we all had water and anything else we needed, and really just

We did this all day adventure with Jeremy who works with Bike Hawaii. He was great!! Full of information and some great sites were seen. We would say to everyone to is going to Oahu this is something you should take time to do. I do though recommend that it be for older kids as the younger ones slowed the group down. But it was a fab day. Thanks Jeremy!!

I just got back from Hawaii and we did the Falls tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. The hike wasn't too hard, but it does get a little muddy and slippery. The walking stick helped me out. He stopped to point out good photo opportunities and took pictures for us. Our guide even took us to another location for a view of the city.

This was the highlight of my first trip to the islands. Our guide "rascal" (I don't remember the Hawaiian word for that)was really the BEST!! He was born & raised there and had so much to share about the beautiful plants. He shared a great little secret w/us about the red ginger. I promised not to tell. The plants, flowers, and surroundings are a must to experience! It rained & poured on us on our way back down the hike. Oh what an awesome time!
THANK YOU Rascal!!

After suffering through hokey luaus and the miserable submarine and magic shows, we went on this tour and it absolutely made our trip. The rainforest hike was unique, as expected. The tourguide had everything thought out for us: we were provided with rubber boots, food, water, waist packs, and water bottles.
The downhill bike portion of the day made for some great views and excellent photo ops. We took a picture of us holding hands with the entire coastline visible about 5 miles behind us and lots of ocean behind that.
The highlight of the trip was the sailing and snorkeling during which we (both first timers) played among a school of fish, got up close to sea turtles, swam to the coral reef about 25 feet down, and enjoyed a trip a mile or so offshore. As we sailed back in, we saw dolphins swimming beside the boat. We saw more sea life during this trip than during the entire submarine tour.
The tour guide was totally helpful and fun to talk to at the same time. We'd do t

This was one of our favorite activities in Oahu. Matthias was our guide and he was so knowledgable about so many of the things in the rain forest. Knee-high rubber boots supplied by the tour are a must. . the hike goes into the rainforest ending at a waterfall and the passage out is thru bamboo. Bike ride was easy but great scenery. Mark meet us with the bikes and helmets and followed Matthias and the group down the mountain. Lunch was enjoyable and the snorkel part was relaxing and fun with Liz and Jocelyn as our boat "captains". Matthias was with us and the first one in the water to show us sea turtles and fish.

英語のみのツアーと言うことでしたが、1人で参加しました。日本人は私だけ、あとはアメリカ本土からの旅行者が10人くらい。
熱帯雨林の中を木々などの説明をとても詳しく受けながら、滝を目指すのですが、途中川を飛び越えたり、足場が悪かったりと参加者みんなが助け合い、それぞれの協力が必要です。ある程度英語で意思の疎通ができないとつらいかもしれません。
目的地の滝の水が切ないほど少なく、それだけが期待はずれでしたが、スタッフはとても親切だし、参加者の連帯感などが生まれ、おもしろいツアーだと思いました。

8月25日に一人で参加しました。英語ガイドということで不安でしたが、英語がしゃべれなくても自然を愛する人たちはすぐにうちとけられます。参加者は7名で私以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが、お互いを気遣いコミュニケーションは言葉だけではないと痛感しました!!書き込みが1件もなかったので不安でしたが、ホテルの送迎も時間どおりだし別の場所で待っていたのですがわざわざ探しに来てくれました。長ズボン着用となっていますが膝したくらいのズボンと靴下を用意すれば大丈夫です。また、長靴を履きますので足のサイズは事前に申告し、サイズがあわなくても余分な靴があるので自分にあうものを履けます。虫除けスプレーも準備してくれていますし、行程はさまざまな樹木や景色を楽しむことができて最高です。なにしろ、「蛇がいない」ことが素晴らしい!滝までの道はほどよく汗をかいて気持いいですよ。また用意されたナッツやドライフルーツがおいしい。滝は大きいものではないですが、このツアーに参加した人だけしか見ることができない秘密の景色です。あとさらに感動したのが、帰りの道です。グリーンバンブーの中を滑らないように降りていくのですが、登るときとは違う植物や動物たちの声が心をスーッとさせてくれます。本当にエコトレッキングでした。
熱帯雨林なので雨が降りますが、用意したレインコートも全く必要がないくらい木々が傘になります。他の参加者はずべってお尻が汚れたりしましたが、最後に小川に入ってきれいに洗えるので大丈夫ですよ。きつさは、200メートルくらいの山に登る程度です。私たちのペースにあわせてくれますので、みなさんどんどん参加してみましょう。

This tour was amazing. It did everything. We loved it. My only recommendation would be to serve lunch earlier. Not eating til 2 pm was difficult. The rainforest hike was beautiful and we loved the bamboo forest. the bike ride was easy and relaxing and the sail and snorkel couldn't be beat. We saw 6 different sea turtles and they came right up to us. I have the best pictures! We have already recommended it to tons of people before we left and will tell everyone we know about it.

Rarely do I take the time to be a reviewer, but my family so enjoyed the bike, hike, sail, and snorkel combo that I felt compelled to give a review. The excursion starts with a high through a beautiful rainforrest. The guides were well prepared providing boots that were definitely needed for the muddy terrain, as well as mosquito repellant( A MUST!) and ponchos. My wife is recovering from ACL surgery 8 months ago and I was concerned she would not be able to complete the hike. We were able to go at a slower pace than the main group and the guides were very accomodating.
The bike ride comes next. It was very scenic and all downhill. You do mostly braking-coasting with very little peddling. Ending the day with the sail and snorkel is like icing on the cake. We got to see sea turtles up close while snorkeling!
I would highly recommend this outing and would definitely do this excursion again if/when I return to Oahu!
