Oahu Manoa Falls Hike & Ho'omaluhia Gardens Day Tour

Explore tropical rainforest and gardens on an Oahu tour designed to feel more like road-tripping with friends.

Itinerary

Manoa Falls Trail: for the first stop of the day we will head to Manoa Falls for a short walk (30min each way) through the jungle until we reach the 150ft waterfall at the end of the trail. The trail is relatively easy for most people but the second half is slightly elevated so you will need some endurance as well as water and proper shoes for the hike. For this trail you will be free to explore at you own pace so we will give you as much information as we can about the trail before you start. Because of this you will be given a specific time frame to be back at the pickup point.

Kaneohe Town (lunch): Then we get some much needed lunch in Kaneohe at a local shopping center where there will be several options such as hawaiian plate lunch, foodland poke, shave ice, fast food, and many more! Remember that lunch is not included with the tour price so bring money for that.

Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens: Next we head over to the east side of the island to explore Oahu's most famous botanical garden where we'll stay for 1hr 45min. The garden is know for having tropical plant species from all over the world as well as a large pond and scenic lookout point. Please keep in mind that this garden is over 400 acres so you will not have time to see everything but the best parts can be seen in the time frame we are there! Also there is no guided tours allowed at the gardens so this stop will be treated as a shuttle.

Leonard's Bakery & Ululanis Shave Ice: Lastly well drive back towards Honolulu and make a quick stop at the famous Leonard's bakery where you can buy Malasadas (Portuguese doughnuts) and the best shave ice on the island at Ululanis!

After that stop we head back to Waikiki to drop off at your hostel!
