This trail is accessible and appropriate for all ages. It lies in the middle of the island and is surrounded by Hawaii’s greatest nature. The end of the trail leads you to Manoa Falls, a 150-foot waterfall.

"Our guide arrived to pick us up in an immaculate van and explained the whole trip as we drove to falls. He pointed out some very interesting facts, landmarks and fauna along the way. Was probably the best tour guide we have had in decades. He ensured everyone was safe and walking at a comfortable pace and had answers to our questions along the path. We recommend Nature and You as your go to tour guides!!!"

"We loved our Manoa Falls hike! Our guide picked us up on time, was friendly and knowledgeable. The trip was a really great morning activity that was just the right amount of time. No waiting around and very organized. If you’re looking for a good tour, this is it."

Arrival at the trail head

The Manoa Falls Trail winds through a tropical forest used in many blockbuster films and TV shows, including Jurassic Park and Lost.

It is a fun and easy hike suitable for people of all ages!

"Nice trail! Great rain forest and falls. This tour is very good value and thoughtful (rain poncho, trekking poles, bottled water) and the tour guide, Yumi, is very considerate."

10:00 AM

Ready, Set, Hike!

As we go along the trail, don’t forget to keep your eyes, ears and nose ready to absorb the natural beauty of Hawaii.

"Great hike!

A fun half-day tour with John and Shanti! The hike to the falls was beautiful and definitely recognizable from movie scenes."

Experience the forest's energy

Locals believe that this forest is the home to Menehune’s, ancient Hawaiian “elves”. See if you can spot them among the thick jungle foliage!

"Billy our tour guide was so knowledgeable and patient with the group! Some of us had to take it slow and he helped pull us through! He's a local to Hawaii's and he knows so much about the island, the nature, and the culture. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some fresh air and beautiful scenery. "

Arrival at the Manoa Falls

At the end of this 45 minute hike you arrive in the “Valley of Rainbows”, just steps away from the foot of Manoa Falls. This 150-foot waterfall will leave you breathless!

"We had an amazing experience with the crew members! They are definitely the highlight of our experience other than the enchanting forest and waterfall! So exciting to found out that Jurrasic Park and Lost were filmed in this exact place!"
