Manoa Valley Lyon Arboretum Nature Walk (Easy)
Good fun for nature lovers!
Bob was our tour guide and he was lots of fun and a real character!
I wouldn't recommend this trip for people with young kids as I suspect they'd probably get bored easily and the walk would be quite challenging in the wet for them.
Definitely wear enclosed shoes! One woman on my tour wore sandals and regretted it the moment she got out of the car.
Also, expect to get wet if you go in winter like I did. Rain jackets were provided.
Overall, it was a really neat tour full of information on the native and canoe plants of Hawaii.

Thoroughly worth it!
This was a great day out, everything went smoothly and there was nothing negative about the day! First we went and saw the green sea turtles, then went to the a reef to see the fish (also saw turtles there). Lastly we went to see the dolphins. The only bad thing about this trip was NOT the tour's fault - the poor dolphins were being harrassed by about 10 different groups at once and they were clearly stressed.
Lunch was better than expected and filling.
Don't bother getting fish food - just follow other people who bought it (plus the tour people have some that they chucked in anyway). The snorkel equipment was way above average - well taken care of!
The wet suit didn't look worth it - everyone froze whether they were wearing a bikini or a wetsuit so definitely take a weather-proof jacket that you don't mind getting wet!
Transportation was easy and hassel-free.

Good, but could be better
This is a fairly biased view to the tour since the airport was absolutely terrible on both directions (NOT the tour's fault).
The guide was ok, unanimated and didn't realise he told us the same stories multiple times - I found this funny but other people were getting really annoyed about it. If you like the history of sugar cane you'll get plenty of it!
The Canyon was AMAZING! As was Fern Grotto. Everything I thought was only ok in terms of interest sake.
