Hike through Manoa Valley’s rainforest to a 150-foot waterfall, then enjoy lunch with sweeping views of Diamond Head and Waikiki.

About this tour

Trade Waikiki’s city bustle for the green stillness of the rainforest on an Oahu Manoa Falls Waterfall Hike. A short ride brings you to Manoa Valley, where a local guide leads you along a 1.6-mile trail beneath a canopy of tropical foliage.

Walk through bamboo and past a natural tree arch as your guide shares local history and legends. Along the way, see landscapes featured in Jurassic Park and Lost, listen for native birds, and take in the rainforest’s vivid scenery. The trail ends at Manoa Falls, where water drops 150 feet through the lush valley. After time to admire the cascade, return along the same path.

Round-trip transportation from Waikiki, a walking stick, and lunch with bottled water are included. The day also brings a stop at Tantalus Lookout, where you can enjoy lunch with views of Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline. English- and Japanese-speaking guide options are available. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a rain jacket and insect repellent; the trail can be muddy. Choose this Oahu Manoa Falls Waterfall Hike for a refreshing rainforest escape and a memorable view of one of the island’s best-known waterfalls.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.78 from 434 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.9. Top 5% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 5% of tours in Oahu by this score.
