Manoa Falls Waterfall Hike!
Highlights
For this excursion, we chose some of the most picturesque, Instagrammable locations on the island of O'ahu. First, we will hike the Manoa Falls Trail through the jungle of Manoa valley back to the waterfalls. The jungle here is a popular filming location for tv shows and movies, including "Lost" and "Jurassic Park". We will then drive just around the corner and up the mountain to the Tantalus Lookout, where we will have an amazing view of the South Shore of O'ahu, including the Honolulu skyline, Waikiki, Diamond Head, and Pearl Harbor. After Tantalus, we will go to lunch in area where there are a few different delicious options to choose from! The last stop of the day will be a visit to the famously photoworthy Ho'omaluhia Botanical gardens, where guests will be able to roam the various viewpoints and gardens that sprawl over 40 acres. We will then start the journey home!
