Honolulu Downhill Bike Tour, Secret Waterfall Hike & Waikiki Snorkel Sail Combo

Best activity in Oahu !

Reviewed by: Alicia & Steve

My husband and I did the hike bike tour with Jeremy and it total exceeded our expectations! Not being olympic athletes, more like weekend warriors, we were a little apprehensive about the hike. It was amazing! He paced it well. He
stopped to let us taste some of the local plants and to point out the rare foliage in the rainforest. Our return hike included a rare trail through the dense bamboo forest. Absolutely amazing!! Finishing the day was a relaxing down hill bike ride with some of the most amazing views of the island. Would recommend this activity highly! Oh by the way, wear old hiking shoes/sneakers it is very muddy in the forest.

Oahu Waterfall Hiking Tour with Expert Guide - Manoa Valley & Koolau Trails

Highly recommended

Reviewed by: Mamacita

We did the hike-only portion up to a waterwall. Beautiful rainforest hike on the way up, and impressively thick bamboo forest on the way back down. We appreciated that bug spray, water, and snacks were provided. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and patient with the occasional extra time it took our 6-year old daughter to navigate some slippery and steep areas. Bike Hawaii was understanding and flexible with us when we accidentally started on the wrong activity, and easily re-scheduled us to another day so we could enjoy the activity we meant to attend. I'm sure we will use their business again when we return to Oahu.

Sidenote: our transportation back to the hotel was a 6-seater vehicle, with 7 intended passengers. Much Thanks to the cab driver who insisted that it was not safe for me to simply "hold my daughter on my lap" for the return ride! I totally agree.

Honolulu Downhill Bike Tour, Secret Waterfall Hike & Waikiki Snorkel Sail Combo

Great fun!!

Reviewed by: rick

If you like outdoor activites, this is the one for you. The staff was friendly, efficient and made the excursion fun for everyone. The hike through the rainforest was beyond my expectations. Hike up to a 200 ft waterfall and back down through a bamboo forest. Great fun! Finish with a relaxing downhill ride on a mountain bike stopping for lunch on a hill overlooking waikiki and diamondhead in the background. A great change of pace from the usual beach/shopping activities on Oahu. Take my advice and do this excursion.

Honolulu Downhill Bike Tour, Secret Waterfall Hike & Waikiki Snorkel Sail Combo

What a Treat

Reviewed by: Stephanie

If you only have time to do one hike while in Hawaii, I suggest this one. Hiking through a rainforrest is something you'll never forget. Part of the hike is on a path and part of it your guide is creating for you, Our guide Mattias is very fun and knew all about the history of the area.

The bike ride was an adventure and thank God DOWN HILL! Your so busy concentrating on the road you don't get to see much of your surroundings, however we did stop for lunch at a beautiful overlook of the city.

This adventure is highly recommended, but only if you don't mind a little mud.

Thanks for the good time!!!

Manoa Falls Guided Hiking Adventure [Open 2022]

Truly an Authentic experience

Reviewed by: UtahMommy

We hiked this in the pouring rains in the rainforest. So worth the muddy, rocky climb! The rain made the waterfall magnificent! Our tour guide, Greg, was very friendly and knowledgeable and our entire group was a bunch of troopers who didn't mind the rain. I would recommend this hike to others.

Great Adventure!!

Reviewed by: lady barragan

This is my 3rd time to hawaii. I have been on one hike, but it wasnt as AWSOME as this one. First off, i was worried my 7 year old would get tired, he didnt. He survived the whole hike. Our Tour guide was really nice and explained alot of the natures around us. When we got to the highlight of our hike, it was UNbelievable. The waterfall was amazing and well worth the muddy, wet hike. Althought it rained on us on the way back, it was so HOT out- it didnt matter. this trip was so well WORTH it. I would do it again.

オアフ島　熱帯雨林ハイキング　初心者～中級者向け ＜英語ガイド＞

やはり日本人ガイドの方が楽しい

Reviewed by: QQQ

昨年は日本人ガイドでのハイキングを楽しみ、ことしも日本人ガイドの別プランを申し込んだのですが、あいにく満員でした。止む無く、このプランを利用しましたが、お迎え時刻になっても現れず、かなりの遅刻での登場でした。遅刻の言い訳もなしに現地へ。教会の私有地のヌカルミを長靴をはいてもくもくと歩くプランでした。日本軍のインパール作戦みたいだなと思いながら歩くこと数十分。滝に到着し、しばらくしてからU-ターンという流れでした。解説は少なめ。やはり、去年の日本人ガイドのプランのほうが随分と楽しかった気がします。あまり、お勧めできません。

June 24, 2010: My family and I went on the Manoa Falls Hike. We had a great time - it was quite the work out but well worth it. Me'ena was a fantastic guide. She provided wonderful insight into the flora and fauna of the area - very educational. I would recommend it highly.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Reviewed by: Mike

Our bike and hike tour was amazing. I wish I could rate this higher than 5 star. Matis (sorry for the spelling) did an amazing job along with the other guides. Everything was done 1st class from the pickup to the drop off. I just wish on our 1st trip to Hawaii in 2008 that I would have discovered this. The views were picture perfect. We were given plenty of time to take pictures, relax, and have a great time. This was definetly the best part of the trip.

Rainforest Excursion

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

It was such a beautiful experience to walk through a lush tropical rain forest. The hike was not strenuous, which allowed me to take in all of the beautiful sights and sounds of the rain forest. The waterfall was definitely the highlight of the hike. This is where we took a break and had plenty of photo opportunities. The pictures we took were so beautiful they could probably be used for a post card picture.

Myself, daughter and 2 16 yr. old granddaughter did this hike and all really enjoyed it. Beautiful scenery and not to difficult of a hike. Our guide, Dante, was very informative of the plant and bird life and his personality made this hike more enjoyable than it would have been otherwise. I would recommend the morning hike to anyone. Afternoons may be to warm and humid.

Manoa Falls Guided Hiking Adventure [Open 2022]

Pretty but didn't need guide.

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Manoa falls really depend upon the time of the year and rainfall level to see if it's a fall or a trickle. The hike was nice enough, although towards the end, it became quite steep and somewhat slippery. I was a little worried as I took a 7 year old, but somehow, no-one fell. I don't know if it was exactly my idea of a rain forest, as the flora is not really that diverse, nor are there any exotic birds or wildlife. It could easily be handled without a guide, I am not that sure that our guide added that much to the hike. It is a public park, so there is no entrance fee or anything. You could probably drive yourself and take your time on the hike. We, however, going with a group walked at quite a steady pace.

Hike/Bike/Snorkel-Sail

Reviewed by: JayandAdrienne

Staff is very friendly. Jeremy and Kalani (I prob spelled his name wrong) were very knowledgeable, helpful. There was and older gentleman on the hike who had issues with heat exhaustion, and Jeremy even took off his t-shirt to help the man, that maybe shouldn't have been on the hike in the first place. It was great that we had the same two guides during throughout all three excursions. There are only two things they don't tell you before you go. One is that the hike is a real hike, not just a stroll through the woods, and bit challenging for someone who would become winded from climbing stairs. lol We were able to do the hike with no problems, but its just a word of advise. Second there is only one port-a-potty available at the beginning of the day, so make sure you go before it starts. But don't worry you will sweat out most of the water lol. You won't have access to another bathroom until the start of the snorkel. Other than those few surprises we had a wonderful time and everythi

Great day of events. For me the sailing portion made the day very long. I would not recommend all three in the future.

The hike and biking experience was awesome. Some of the guides on the boat were not as friendly or welcoming as I experienced on my other excursions. Kind of put a damper on an otherwise good experience.

オアフ島　熱帯雨林ハイキング　初心者～中級者向け ＜英語ガイド＞

秘密のハイキング？

Reviewed by: nori

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。

Hike and Bike Ride

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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!.

Great Hike

Reviewed by: Lisa B

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.

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.

Well worth it

Reviewed by: Larry

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
