Hawaiian Waterfall Hike

Fun and informative hike due to our amazing guide, Ikaikanokeakua (“Ian”). He was very knowledgeable about the local flora, fauna as well as Hawaiian mythology and customs. I would highly recommend requesting Ian if you choose this hike.

Unprofessional and unresponsive. They cancelled the Ko’olau Waterfall Hike via phone but are now refusing to authorize a refund to the booking agent, claiming the booking was non-refundable. You cannot cancel a service and keep the customer's money. Currently having to escalate this through wholesale partners because Bike Hawaii will not take accountability. Avoid booking here if you value your money and your time.

This is a great, easy trail with a spectacular waterfall at the end. It’s in a rainforest that gets 200 inches of rain annually so it’s wet. Be sure to bring a poncho. Our guide, Ray, was terrific!

My family and I had a great time but this hike isn't for everyone. The majority of the hike is on uneven terrain, steep uphill climb at times, and since you're going through rain forest, expect to get really wet and shoes/feet will be soaked and muddy! Our guide, Ray, was great, very informative, and we got to see and do something we don't have in Indiana.

The hike was much harder than I expected it to be. I did not make it all the way to the falls. It was steep and very rocky.

This was an amazing experience. Our guide Daniel was a wealth of information about Hawaii and shared great information with our group. He is fun, has a great sense of humor. He went way above the call of duty, helping me down the trail after I took a fall. The scenery, the flowers and plants are beautiful, plus seeing the waterfall was a stunning reward for making the hike. We would highly recommend this trip!

Daniel was very knowledgeable of the waterfalls and Hawaiian history in general. It was a great hike and he kept a good pace for everyone in the group.

The hike itself was beautiful, the guide (he did not tell us his name) was not very good. He seemed very distracted. On the way down I fell and he stood at a distance watching my grandson of 16, helping me up. He did not lift a finger. He could ask you something and when you answered, he just lost interest and walked away. Very disappointing. We were supposed to get snacks, but we did not see any. For the money we paid for it, I expected more.

The guide was knowledgeable and knew a lot about the history and geology of the region. The hike is a bit steep in places and also slippery but the view at the end is worth it. Wear sturdy footwear.

I traveled to Hawaii for a holiday vacation and really really enjoyed this hike. My guide, Mike, was knowledgeable and had extra amenities like granola bars! Nice, for the early start.
