Explorative - The picnic out over the lookout was an awesome experience. Juney and Ross were such great tour guides. They were very friendly and it was a joy to get to know them.

Wonderful tour of Manoa falls - Jackson was our guide and from the start of the trip he was awesome. A lot of great energy was brought to the van. The hike was not too difficult but not too easy. Even though the waterfall wasn’t at its peak as far as flow, it was a beautiful view. Very peaceful and scenic hike. Jackson took time to explain the vegetation and its importance on the hike and afterwards he took us to Pu’u ‘Ualaka’a State Park great place for a lookout and to eat the delicious lunch provided. I am sure they all do a great job as they were all very friendly but if you happen to get Jackson, you’re in for a treat.

Easy hike, great views! - The Manoa Falls tour was a great way to get out of Waikiki for the morning and hike to a beautiful waterfall without coordinating cars/bus/etc myself. Junn was a fantastic guide!

Scenic Easy Hike - Very beautiful hike. The hike was short and not strenuous. Path was rock so not muddy. Guide Jackson was entertaining. He managed a group of wide range of abilities very well so all could have fun.

Just Right - This tour was just right. It wasn’t too long or too short. The tour guide, Jackson, he was knowledgeable, interesting, and talked just the right amount along with Anoi the Japanese tour guide. The tour was prompt and a good number of people- 10. We followed the itinerary on the description. The hike is just right for intermediate level. We had panchos in the event of rain, but there was none. We had bug spray to keep away mosquitoes, etc… he knew where to go and they told us about plants, trees, and such. Post hike, we had our sandwich orders ready to go. We sat for lunch at a park with an excellent view of the island, all very calm and esthetic. The lunch was good, just the right amount. I recommend this tour.

Jungle hike to Manoa Falls - Our guide Juni was very nice. He took breaks along the way for rest stops on the trail and was happy to take photos too. My first time in a Jungle.

Very mild hike and underwhelming waterfall - The overall tour was a bit underwhelming. I booked an English trip but got tagged with 10-ish Japanese visitors and the guide was very passionate offering both languages but I don't feel i learned anything. The hike was very elementary and not worth the time and effort. The waterfall was also mediocre. Overall, wish I had done something else.

The hike was beautiful,... - The hike was beautiful, absolutely loved it. However the web description is false advertising. You cannot swim in the waterfall, nor can you walk down to it. We booked with a tour company and though they were great, we could have driven ourselves and just paid 17$ for parking rather than the 200$. Yes I would recommend this great hike but do it at your own leisure.
