Ride a roundtrip shuttle and hike to Manoa Falls at your own pace
3.5 hours
Roundtrip shuttle, water bottle

Not recommended for pregnant travelers, and participants must be physically fit. The trail may be slippery or uneven, and conditions can change rapidly.
If you lose or don’t return a walking stick, you’ll be charged $25 each.
Cancel or change at least 48 hours before the tour date. Cancellations within 48 hours are non-refundable. Bookings made within 48 hours of departure are final sale and cannot be modified or refunded.
Arrive a few minutes before your listed pickup time. Pickups can start up to 10 minutes before the scheduled tour time, and the driver can’t wait for late arrivals.
Yes. Your exact pickup time may be adjusted based on your location on the hotel pickup list.

Queen Kapiolani Hotel (if you are not staying in Waikiki)
Kaimana stands out for making popular Oahu activities genuinely hassle-free. Travelers consistently praise how the company removes the stress of parking, gear rental, and logistics at places like Diamond Head and snorkeling spots. The convenience factor is huge here: quality snorkel equipment, optional beach extras like chairs and umbrellas, and perfectly timed shuttle schedules that get you places early to beat the crowds. The guides really shine through in these reviews. Orlando, Tommy, Matthew, and Adam all get called out by name for being knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely fun to travel with. They share local history and practical tips throughout trips, creating an experience that feels more personal than your typical shuttle service. One reviewer mentioned feeling a bit rushed with 2 hours at Diamond Head instead of the expected 3, but otherwise the timing seems to work well. The snorkeling crew, including Mary and Katie, earn special praise for making beginners feel comfortable and safe in the water. If you want Hawaiian adventures without the planning headaches, this is a solid choice.
Tommy certainly provides Island flair during the tour. The light house hike was beautiful
