Itinerary and highlights
Explore one of Oʻahu’s most popular rainforest hikes with a self-guided visit to Manoa Falls. Follow a scenic trail through lush tropical vegetation, bamboo groves, and towering trees to reach the stunning 150-foot waterfall made famous by films and TV shows such as Jurassic Park, LOST, and Hawaii Five-0.
The hike is approximately 1.6 miles round trip. The trail can be muddy and slippery, so closed-toe shoes are recommended.
Take in sweeping panoramic views from Puu Ualakaa State Wayside, one of Oʻahu’s most scenic lookout points. Perched high above Honolulu in the Tantalus hills, this peaceful stop offers breathtaking views of Waikīkī, Diamond Head, Punchbowl Crater, and the South Shore coastline.
It’s the perfect place to capture unforgettable photos, enjoy the cool mountain air, and experience a different perspective of the island.
