A great way to take an easy to moderate hike especially if you are unfamiliar with the area or how to find the trails. Easy way to get to a good hike without needing your own car. Come prepared with good hiking shoes tennis shoes are not recommended.
Sarah was a great tour guide. Super fun and easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable about the hike. The trail was very easy, generally slow slopes up or down with a few areas of steps, though we are reasonably fit. It was raining more that usual that day so the trail was a bit muddy. Sarah offered us walking sticks, which were super useful! Overall, I’d highly recommend.
Our guide was great with lots of local historical i & other nsights unexpectedly fun and interesting was the scoop on numerous plants and their uses in Hawaiian life. Pack your rain gear. Hiking boots beat sneakers deforestation the rainforest.
High atop Honolulu is a lush green jungle that is a lifetime away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. This approximately two hour hike was a fabulous way to spend a morning while learning Hawaiian history. Our tour guide, Sarah, was perhaps the most well informed tour guide I've ever encountered. She had a grasp of the Hawaiian vocabulary that some locals don't have, it was impressive! Of all the tours in Ohau, and I have done several, this one feels the most like a nature hike, and is one I'd put on the top of my list for sure!
Great hike. Walking sticks available if needed.
Our guide Terry picked us up at our hotel in the Waikiki area right on time. I was with my two teenage/adult children. We were dressed in casual athletic clothing with running and walking shoes. The 3 mile hike doesn’t have much inclines and is a manicured trail. I would recommend a toothy trail shoe with some traction as we encountered some mud. Some extra grip would provide some confidence. Water cartons, granola bars, a hip bag and mosquito repellant was provided. You are under the cover of the foliage so you don’t need sunscreen.The hike was easy enough that I barely drank water. Our guide Terry was amazing. He was constantly making sure everyone on the tour was ok. It was the 3 of us with another couple. He had so much information and knowledge about the history of Hawaii, the plants/foliage we encountered and the animals that lived in the forest. This is an easy hike that I would recommend to any group looking for a casual , non strenuous hike to learn about Hawaii and get some amazing photos with views in the background.
Our guide Terry was the best. He’s an expert on Hawaiian history, flora, and fauna. Rainforest hike was lush and interesting to learn Hawaii facts.
Great experience. Our tour guide was on time and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the hike along with the scenic views.
We had a great time and it was some very beautiful views overlooking the pacific, Pearl harbour, Honolulu area. Our guide Terry was very knowlegable on both nature and geografics on Hawaii as well as culture, politics and history. We had a great time hiking this trail and will definetly use them again.
Great hike with Michael as our guide. It was wonderful to get out of the city and go someplace without a ton of people. Learned a lot about the plants/trees that are native and which ones were brought over on purpose. Oahu has a very interesting history! The walk wasn’t too strenuous - recommend hiking shoes because of the muddy sections. Great views
