A whole day worth of adventure
I booked this tour last minute and didn't know what to expect. I got the full day package which lets you choose four different activities about an hour long each. I chose the horseback, jungle expedition, and the "secret" island tour (it counts as two activities becuase of travel time).
First, the horseback riding is more of a pleasure and scenic tour. The horse does not gallop or run which makes it open to any type of riders as long as your over 4 feet tall. You go through a trail which consists of multiple gates the tour guide opens up.Very relaxing and it's nice if you have someone to chat with while going through the trail.
Second, the jungle expedition. You go into this rugged truck and go up a offroad trail. The tour guide will stop at certain points every now and then to talk about the history of the spot. Our tour guide had us tried native fruit picked from the tree. At the end, she took us to a peak and had us take photos of the beach overlooking the chinaman's hat.

Awesome adventure!
I didn't know what to expect when I booked this tour since I was going solo. The staff is very friendly and on time. The first part of the tour is the hike up the Manoa valley 5 miles south of Waikiki. Highly recommended to wear long sleeves and pants if you don't like mosquitoe bites. The hike itself is fairly easy. Very doable for any age. The trip to the waterfalls itself is more enjoyable than when you get there.
The second part of the tour is the 5 mike downhill bike ride. I know, it sounds more daunting than it is. I haven't bike for almost 20 years but got the hang of it right away. You won't really need to pedal much as it is mostly downhill, rather you will need to use your brakes a lot. Fantastic view of downtown Waikiki and Diamond head crater.
Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for some adventure outside of the beach. Great experience!!!
