About this tour

Trade Oahu’s coastal views for a refreshing waterfall hike on this four-hour guided outing. The route pairs a nature walk with a scenic drive along the island’s South Shore, offering a lively mix of forest, ocean, and historic viewpoints.

Hike to a waterfall, where you can cool off in the water, and forage for wild ginger, kukui nuts, and mountain apples along the way. Keep watch for birds, then continue by road to Halona Blowhole and Eternity Beach. At Makapu Lookout, take in the views and look for sea turtles and whales. The drive also passes President Obama’s beach house before reaching Pali Lookout, known for its historic battles and views of Windward Oahu, and the canopy-lined Old Pali Road.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 5.00 from 10 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 7.6. Top 24% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 24% of tours in Oahu by this score.
