Just Gorgeous! - Our driver, D, was a lot of fun. Took great care of us. The Rain Forest is unbelievably gorgeous! Great hike, but there was so much to see that the 2 hours was not enough. 3 hours would be better.

Beautiful Rainforest! Prepare to get wet! - If you need a way to get to the falls this is a convenient way to get there. You could probably Uber as well (I did not cost compare). They do give you a walking stick (which we used and found helpful). This is a moderate hike. I do not recommend small children (although I saw some on the hike), i.e. toddlers. I also recommend closed toed shoes and a change of socks for the little ones. We hiked up with our 7 year old daughter and she loved it. While it is not a long hike it is muddy and there is probably going to be rain. Bring a poncho or you can buy one from the tour guide for $5 or you can get one at the University of Hawaii gift store for $2 (you pass it on your way to the trail head). We decided to just embrace getting wet but a lot of people did get a poncho. The tour guide "D" was helpful and talked about things as we passed them which is always nice to hear history which you likely won't have if you get an uber. They also gave insect repellent (single bottle to hand around before you left) and a water bottle. The hike to the falls was awesome. It is a beautiful rainforest and the waterfall is pretty but honestly its all of it together that made it special. It took us 90 minutes to do the hike (stopping to take pictures and just admiring the landscape) which left 30 minutes to use the bathroom, walk through University of Hawaii gardens and check out the gift store. I would highly recommend this as its just an easy way to get there. Also, if you have a child you don't have to worry about a booster. The meeting time was a little off as they are picking up other people so just keep that in mind when you are waiting.

Definitely reamend ! - Was a great hike! The trees are so spectacular a must see ! We made it all the way up to the waterfall unfortunately it hadn't rained much so the flow was very little at best, the driver made it seam to be a bit easier then it was we though but not terrible!

Love this place hike was... - Love this place hike was fun a little hilly but not too hard. Make sure to wear bug spray and enjoy the plush jungle.

Amazing ! - This was an amazing tour ! The guide gave us great information as well as what to expect . My family enjoyed every minute of this experience! Highly recommend.

Good event if you like hiking and nature. - It is a great destination if you like hiking and nature. Otherwise I don't recommend to go. The driver, D, was great giving information. It is a drop off and pickup tour only, so this means the driver will not go hiking with you. Also it is consider expensive for just transportation and some guidance. If you have traveling companions, it is better off taking Uber/Lyft there instead. It is free entry except vehicle parking fee. Google "Mānoa Falls Trail".

Great hike and beautiful views. - The views were amazing and the hike was challenging for us. Parts were a moderate hike and other parts were easier. You definitely need to make use of the walking poles as they really helped. Wear hiking or running shoes as the trail is rocky and slippery in sections due to the rain. Crocs and sandals are a bad idea but there were many people who wore them. All in all, it was a great experience. Our tour guide, while nice, was rather quiet and his driving was very aggressive at times. He ran a few amber lights and was busy texting on his phone while stopped and a few time while the coach was in motion. His heart wasn’t really in it and it showed. We discussed a tip for our guide, and decided not to because he did not seem engaged and the experience did not meet our expectations. The real kicker was when our guide reached out to us and as about a tip we chatted about.

Beautiful falls - The falls were beautiful and the scenery amazing. Driver was scary kept looking at his phone while he was driving (the phone was on.his lap)

Poor - “D” the guide was rude and got angry when I asked for a water bottle. His info was poor and just showed us a map saying: take a pic, I’ll meet you all here in 2 hours. So. Not recommended at all

Warning- do not do this hike for the waterfall or movie sites - I would not recommend the hike at all- slippery rocky trail, smallest stream of a waterfall, and there is no apparently movie scene sites while hiking. Our driver- D was 10min late to pick up while we were in the heat after the hike, did not offer us water even though it was included, and did not remember which hotel he picked us up at all. Just go to Kuala ranch for Jurassic park.
