We went last Sunday. It wasn't that hot but very humid. The trail is wet, muddy and slippery so wear old tennis shoes if you can. I managed to slip and fall in the mud. Didn't get hurt, just dirty. There are a few spots in the trail where you have to navigate over rocks to continue but nothing too... more

This was my favorite hike! The waterfall at the end was the cherry on top. Come prepared. You’ll need sneakers, bug spray water, towels and a change of shoes once you’re done! The hike is slippery, muddy and fun! One of the few activities I would have repeated if I had extra time on my trip. Definitely do this. A... more

Don't FORGET FIVE DOLLARS CASH FOR PARKING!! This is muddy hike is our favorite with our five and two year old. Our five year old makes the hike up and down by herself. We do have to carry the baby sometimes but there are plenty places along the trail that even she can climb on the rocks & walk the... more

This is not an "easy" trail as specified in the pamphlet. We had a 6 year old with us and in many places we had to lift him up onto a rock or down a rock. It didn't help that it started pouring rain part way into the walk. OK, imagine that- rain in a rain forest area. The trail... more

We went with a guided tour to Monoa falls. The bugs were a little bad for some people but I wasn't bothered. The vegatation and the falls are both worth the hike. I highly recommend this activity. more

The vegetation was stunning... More then we could have hoped to see...the last 1/3 of the hike becomes difficult. The trail became impassible at times. Wet, large, slippery rocks is your trail. I found it harder to go back down the trail then it was to get there. If you are agile and have very good balance..this trail is for... more

It took us a little while to find where this was but make sure you go all the way to the parking lot and pay $5 for parking. Some people parked down on the residential street and had to walk up to the entrance. But after that walk, it will make your hike even harder so pay the extra for... more

The falls itself are not the best part of the hike. When I reflect upon my hike, I hardly remember the falls! I wanted to hike Manoa Falls because I had never been to a rainforest before, and wanted to experience a rain forest! First of all, the road to the trail head looks like a one-way residential street... it... more

On June 1, 2009, I had the pleasure of hiking on the Manoa Falls Trail while vacationing in Hawaii. The trail is located just outside Honolulu at the end of Manoa Road. The rainforest canopies and stands of bamboo along this trail are so close to Waikiki hotels that it makes for the perfect hike any time of the day.... more
