We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Oahu with Mayra! We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children, and everyone truly enjoyed the tour from start to finish. The route along the east coast was beautiful, with so many amazing stops and breathtaking views. Diamond Head, Halona Beach Cove, Makapuʻu Lookout, Waimanalo Beach, Byodo-In Temple, Chinaman’s Hat and China Walls were all highlights. We had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take great photos without ever feeling rushed. What really made the day special was Mayra. She was incredibly friendly, attentive and accommodating, and made sure we saw everything worth seeing. She shared interesting information along the way, took great care of us and was also wonderful with the kids. We felt very comfortable with her throughout the entire tour. It was the perfect way to discover this beautiful part of Oahu. A fantastic private tour and a wonderful experience for the whole family. We would definitely book with Mayra again and can 100% recommend this tour! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Description
This is a private tour to two of the most breathtaking landscapes on Oʻahu. Enjoy stunning panoramic views over Waikīkī and the Pacific Ocean from Diamond Head State Monument, followed by a lush rainforest adventure to Mānoa Falls. These are two completely different worlds—one a paved volcanic crater hike with sweeping coastal views, the other a tropical jungle trail leading to a beautiful waterfall. Perfect for capturing unforgettable photos with breathtaking backdrops of Waikīkī, the Pacific Ocean, and Oʻahu’s lush tropical rainforest. You can experience both hikes in one day, or choose just one and use the remaining time to explore other areas of the island. Your guide will offer personalized suggestions, but the day is fully customized based on your interests, time, and energy level. When booking, simply let us know if you’d like to do one hike or both.

Itinerary
Diamond Head State Monument
Diamond Head State Monument is one of Oʻahu’s most iconic and must-see landmarks, featuring a dramatic volcanic crater and breathtaking panoramic views over Waikīkī and the sparkling Pacific Ocean. This short yet rewarding hike blends adventure, history, and unforgettable scenery—making it a highlight experience you won’t want to miss.
Diamond Head Beach Park
This stop is for lunch, scheduled after Diamond Head and before Manoa Falls. You’re welcome to skip it if you prefer, but in our experience, after hiking Diamond Head most guests are usually pretty hungry We’d also be happy to take you to a local spot so you can enjoy something authentic and delicious.
Manoa Falls
Mānoa Falls is a lush rainforest escape just minutes from Honolulu, where a scenic jungle trail leads you to a stunning waterfall. Surrounded by towering bamboo, tropical, and misty mountain views, this easy-to-moderate hike feels like stepping into a real-life paradise—and even a movie set.

An unforgettable day on Oahu with Mayra!

Great experience all around!
Myra was a very knowledgeable and caring tour guide. She contacted us before our tour to make sure that everything was In place. She was on time and was very flexable with the itinerary. She wanted to be sure that we were satisfied with the plan. She supplied snacks and water and took us to a great local place for lunch. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and especially Myra as a tour guide.

Thank you so much Steve for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with us! It was truly a pleasure to show you around Oahu and create a flexible and enjoyable day for you and Rosemarie. I hope to see you again! Mahalo Nui Loa.

Manoa Falls/Diamond Head Oahu tour with Myra!
Our tour with Myra was the best tour we had on our visit to Oahu and the Big Island! Myra is an outstanding guide. We’d give her our highest recommendation. She shared a lot of historical information throughout the tour and was so hospitable. She also took us to a fabulous inexpensive restaurant frequented by the locals. We prefer visiting non-touristy food places not the standard chain restaurants or typical fast food sites. She was the perfect guide —she brought along plenty of water and even some pineapple to rehydrate us as the weather was hot and our two hikes were a bit challenging. She always made sure we paced our hike taking breaks when needed. We loved Myra and look forward to asking for her as a guide in the future.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this incredibly kind and heartfelt review. Your words truly made my day! It was such a joy spending time with you and Rocky and being part of your Hawaii adventure. I absolutely loved sharing Oahu with you, especially because you appreciated the local side of the island, the history, and the hidden places that make Hawaii so special beyond the typical tourist spots. Thank you as well for your kindness, energy, and trust during the hikes. I know the weather was warm, so I’m glad the pineapple, water, and little breaks helped make the experience more enjoyable. Creating a comfortable, personal, and memorable day for my guests truly means everything to me. You will always be welcome with Aloha Day Tours!
