Overview

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.

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 hungryWe’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.
