KOA picked us up and was a very enjoyable and safe driver. We had a perfect sunny morning to hike and it was absolutely gorgeous! All of us in our group that hiked are in our 60’s and was not to difficult of a journey for us. The views on the way up and down were beautiful, but the views from the top were breathtaking! One of our favorite excursions while visiting the Hawaiian Islands.

Well-maintained trail that was mostly gravel. I'd recommend athletic shoes but you won't need hiking spikes. I wore regular running shoes. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot more about the Manoa Valley.

We started at Tantalus for beautiful 360 views and photos. Then, we drove a bit farther to start the actual trail. Quite a bit of it was shaded and there was a lot of incline at the beginning. The hiking guide was amazing and really knowledgable about the area. I felt like I learned so much about the different plants and trees plus the historical significance of some of them. Would recommend for the hiking aficionado!

Very happy with the entire experience. Ryan was awesome to have as a guide. Would definitely do it again. Hike was super fun and informative, and the river crossings and swimming hole at the end of the first half was great. Nothing but great things to say!. Thanks Ryan for the awesome day and super chill time today. Can't wait until the camping experience is up and running so I can take another trip out here and sign right up!

We had a group of 7 for this tour and it was perfect to see the highlights of the island, outside of Honolulu. Stephanie was a fantastic tour guide and driver!! She gave a lot of info and local insight on hang outs, fun facts, etc. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone that wants to see more of what the island has to offer! I have so many pictures and was able to buy some of the unique foods and items Hawaii has to offer as well.
Hello Jamie,
Thank you for spending your time for a review. We are glad you had a great time with Stephanie. I will let her know of the fabulous review you gave her. I believe she will be very happy to hear. We hope you and the rest of your group have a great time in Hawaii.

Great experience! We loved the views and the information our guide provided. Each person of our 7 person group will tell you a different favorite point. The hike was fun, the waterfall beautiful, the bike ride was easier then expected, beautiful scenery and a bit thrilling. The sail home was relaxing after snorkeling and swimming with the sea turtles.

Great tour guide unfortunately I can’t remember the gentleman name now. He is 3rd generation native very knowledgeable of the island. It definitely was a educational and beautiful time. I’m out of shape 51 years women & huffing and puffing but I made it all the way to the waterfall. I guess you could say I earned my photo shot! It is breathtaking the beauty of the whole path and so much green that surrounds you it’s definitely worth it. I just discovered Veltra and I plan to us them again, great service great price & great program.
Mahalo for your review! Your guide's name is Terii. Thanks for joining us and sharing your experience with others. Aloha

Thank you for the amazing guide, Mr Teriyaki(for short, Mr Terry ;))
We’ve had a wonderful memory during the stay at Hawaii, and this activity was one of the most fun event thanks to him.
He has a lot of knowledge about the history, the Anthropology, the sociology, biology of Hawaii and the Japanese culture too! Haha
We really enjoyed knowing them..
We were surprised that he is familiar with Japanese culture, and some part he know better than me. I think he is respectful to other cultures.
This is amazing and we respect him too:)
We miss him and we hope to attend this activity when we visit Hawaii next time.
Take care and stay Healthy!

ツアーのおじいちゃんが知識豊富で、面白くて、参加者全員が取り残されないように気を遣っていて、とても素晴らしい方でした。

Our tour guide was a few weeks into his job but it felt like he has been doing this for years. As we drove through the island we were shown some landmarks and famous peoples houses. Once we got to the trail he proved us ponchos which we would come to need. The trail was fantastic. Even in the rain it was our first activity when we arrived and well worth it. Highly recommend people take the time to enjoy the waterfall and see this.
Mahalo for joining us on your honeymoon! We hope the rest of your stay was as scenic and romantic for you two. Congratulations from all of us

After my group was picked up another couple was picked up. I was disappointed because they were picked up across the street from the condo we were staying at. My group had to take a 15 minute walk to The pick up location that they told us. We could have slept in a little bit later and had breakfast. The ride to Diamondhead was simple and quick. Once you get to the location they do you have food trucks if you want to grab food or something to drink. As we were entering we were ask for tickets. Our driver did not give us the tickets to enter the hiking trail. We called the company no one answered and we did not have the phone number to the shuttle driver. The staff at Diamondhead did not want to let us in. however after taking sympathy on as they were nice and let us in. They could have said no and we would have to have sat in front of Diamondhead for 2 1/2. If you book with this company make sure your driver gives you your blue ticket for entry into the park.
After the hike it was a madhouse because the afternoon tours were coming in and the morning tours were going out. I received a phone call and it was a new shuttle driver who was supposed to take us to our original shuttle driver because he was caught in some type of traffic. It was a tight squeeze because this new shadow was much smaller than the ones that we came in on. The drive was really nice he gave us kind of like a sightseeing tour as we were going to the drop off location. We all get out and we’re kind of just standing around waiting. He tells us that the original shuttle driver is coming (he never showed). For people decided not to continue on with the second hike. So the shuttle driver said that instead of us waiting he could take us now because it was a smaller group. This isn’t their first time doing these tour so I would have expected things to run a lot smoother. I do recommend shopping around for different tour companies.

Lunch provided was an organic shrimp or chicken roll up that was very tasty and the perfect size... the swim in the river was refreshing...seeing the forest with strawberry quads trees and ginger root everywhere... Tahiti prawns in the river nd wild pigs in the forest. The 4x4 rig was a great ride on both pavement and muddy roads... a must do trip

The trip to Diamond Head in the morning and Manoa Falls in the afternoon left plenty of time to do a round-trip and have time for a snack or rest. Bring water and your camera.
They plan on widening the path to Manoa Falls making it two-way. Can be very slippery and muddy, especially when it rains, which is most of the time. You'll see bare feet, flip-flops, nice sneakers, etc. Good walking shoes recommended. Enjoy the beautiful paintings of the Kings and Queens of Hawaii in the Manoa Falls visitors center.

Our guide Keola was the best. He provided us with valuable information about the eco system, history about the North Shore and Hawai’i and safety information during the hike.
The area is absolutely stunning. If you want to do something away from the commercial and touristy stuff in Waikiki this is a great way to see Hawai’i in all its beauty.
I would ensure you wear good hiking shoes or trail running shoes. Also this hike is not a leisure walk. You will earn your lunch.
Mahalo Larry for taking the time to leave a testimonial. It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Keola - he is one of the best! Yes, our hikes are definitely not leisure nature walks so weʻre glad that you folks were down for an adventure. Take care, safe travels, and we hope to see you again in the islands.

今回初めて参加しました。ずっと行きたかった場所ですが、なんだか行くチャンスがなかったんです。
ここは個人でも訪問することが可能なエリアですが、是非ガイド付きのツアーで行くことをお勧めします。必要なグッズ(ディスポのレインコートや、ウエストポーチ、杖、水、スナックバー等)は準備していただけますし、車中、トレッキング最中も、いろいろ説明してくれます。
今回のガイドさんは基本は英語オンリーですが、たまに日本語もはさんでくれたり、、とにかく飽きさせません。
ワイキキは晴れていても、わずか20分程度離れた距離でも雨がふっていたりします。足元はスニーカーは必須です。
また行きたいな。
