The trail was so beautiful and the views spectacular. Great hike! It was better than I expected and much appreciated with our guide Ismael. I would recommend this hike to anyone who wants to explore and enjoy the beauty of nature. It was totally worth it!

Lei is the best

LynneOswald, Apr 2024

Lei was an amazing and fun tour guide. She kept us entertained, and informed the entire time. She is the BEST

Take a Hike!

Jim_B, Mar 2024

It’s a fun hike, and the falls are a pleasant visit. Daniel is a great guide…very knowledgeable about plants, animals, and Hawaii history. He’s also a font of information on much of European history, as well.

Fun experience

Christy_G, Feb 2024

Tour guide taught us really interesting things about plants. We paused at different times which were a good time for a break. Hike was a good challenge level for new hikers.

Fantastic hike!

Deborah_H, Nov 2023

The view was amazing. The guide knew all the tricks on how to navigate the path and where to go. The guide was a wealth of knowledge not just when it came to plant life, but also local history. Great trip!

Mahalo!

Teri’i, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and generous with his time. From the moment he picked us up from our hotel to the time he dropped us off, he shared his passion for Hawaiian nature and history in an informative and engaging way. One of the highlights of our trip - we thoroughly recommend him and this excursion!

Daniel you the best

Adrian_L, Mar 2022

Wonderful experience and I’m glad to be part of a group of other sweet people. The waterfall and locations were quite exquisite!!!

Gorgeous!

Waterfall was less than expected

Moises_C, Aug 2021

Noa the guide was great. Provided a lot of great historical information and was very respectful. Waterfall was not a waterfall. Misleading

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Mahalo for joining us. We're confused why you feel mislead. It is a double-tiered waterfall highly sought after for its natural beauty and consistent flow of water. The pictures of these falls are accurate and many images were taken by guests themselves.

Great hike

Huyen_H, Aug 2021

We had so much fun during the whole hike. The sceneries are so refreshing and the air is super fresh and clean. Our tour guide, Ismael, was so helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely a must try.

Nice hike- more than moderate

Hilary_C, Aug 2021

Terii gave a great tour of Honolulu on the way to the waterfall and on the way back. The terrain was very wet and muddy which was slippery and there were lots of rocks and tree roots. The description of the hike was moderate, but I felt it was more than moderate. There should be more details in the description. That being said, Terii was very helpful guiding me down the trail on the way out to make sure I didn’t slip and fall.

Informed tour

Jenni_M, Jul 2021

Informative tour guide! He pointed out plants and trees along the way that helped us get a better idea of the history of the island.

Definitely recommend!

Justine_R, Jul 2021

This hike was awesome! First, I have to say I was a little hesitant because there weren’t many reviews, but it was well worth it. Our guide was amazing! My friend and I accidentally got on a bus with the wrong tour (miscommunication with the guide with that company) but our guide (I forgot his name) was amazing. He worked with us and was able to come back so we did not miss the hike. The hike was beautiful! The guide was able to give us lots of information about the island, hike, animals, etc. It was a fairly small group, about 8, which was nice. The waterfall it self was really pretty and not nearly as busy as many of the hikes close to Honolulu. Definitely recommend.

Great experience

Mikah, Jul 2021

Great times with a group of fun people and a cool tour guide. Terrii provided great information about Hawaii.

The whole Hike was amazing not just the waterfall!

Tyler_R, Jun 2021

Terii I think that is how you spell his name was amazing! Super informative and pointed out things along the trail and was super helpful through the posts that needed a little extra help! I would love to go more tours with him he was great!

Amazing

nalani_k, May 2021

Guide Terii was funny and kept us engaged and it was fairly easy. There were people playing music and fire dancing kinda took away from the nature part of it

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Mahalo for your review. Our staff works hard to make your time with us well spent. I did hear about the other group being loud. Please come again and try another tour.. we have some great properties we work with,

Great

Belle randonnée dans la forêt tropicale avec une belle cascade à l'arrivée. Le chemin n'est pas compliqué, même si ça glisse par moments. A la suite d'annulations, nous n'étions finalement que 2 avec notre guide. C'était super, il a bien pris le temps de nous parler de l'île, de son histoire, puis de la faune et de la flore lors de la randonnée.
