What To Expect

With average year-round temperatures of 80 degrees fahrenheit (26 degrees celcius), refreshing trade winds and two volcanic mountain ranges on this Hawaiian island, Oahu is a hiker's paradise. Given the popularity of hiking, and since most all other hiking companies feature public trails and multiple groups, the secluded personality of the rainforest is often compromised. This exclusive rainforest adventure is more than a hike; it is a journey through the past and present in a remote 75-acres (300,000 square meters) of private Manoa Valley rainforest.

This is a mild to moderate hike over dirt trail. Hiking time is approximately 4 hours.

Additional Info

  • Travelers should have a high level of physical fitness
  • Not recommended for child aged 5 and under
  • Above average fitness level required for this 2.5 mile one-way Hawaii volcano hike
  • This is family fun too! Even the kids will love it.
  • This tour/activity will have a maximum of 15 travelers
  • Operated by a business

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
