More about the Manua Falls Trail
Manoa Falls Trail sits tucked inside Manoa Valley, a pocket of tropical rainforest just 15 minutes from the high-rises and beaches of Waikiki. The valley receives more rainfall than almost any other part of Oahu, and the result is a landscape so dense with greenery that it was chosen as a backdrop for Jurassic Park, Lost, and several other Hollywood productions. Paired with the volcanic summit of Diamond Head, this guided tour covers two of Oahu's most different and most rewarding outdoor experiences in a single day.
The morning begins with the iconic climb up Diamond Head, where switchbacks, tunnels, and military-era stairways lead to sweeping views of the island's southeastern coast. After a casual breakfast break, the tour shifts from exposed volcanic rock to the cool shade of Manoa Falls Trail. The contrast is striking. Where Diamond Head is sun-baked and wide open, Manoa Falls Trail is enclosed by a towering canopy of banyans, eucalyptus, and bamboo, with streams running alongside the path and ferns reaching out from every surface. The trail ends at the base of the 150-foot Manoa Falls, where water slides down a vertical rock wall into a moss-rimmed pool. Your guide shares stories about the plants and wildlife along the way, pointing out species like wild ginger, guava, and native Hawaiian ferns.
This tour is a great fit for families, couples, and anyone who wants to see more of Oahu than the beach. The combination of Diamond Head's volcanic history and Manoa Falls Trail's rainforest immersion gives you a well-rounded picture of the island's natural diversity, all with a knowledgeable guide and luxury vehicle handling every detail.

This ancient volcanic tuff cone pulls you upward through switchbacks and tunnel passages until the summit opens into a 360-degree view that rewards every step. Diamond Head State Monument is one of Hawaii's most visited natural landmarks, and for good reason.
