What to expect
Manoa Falls
This trail is just a short drive from Waikiki, back in Manoa Valley. Our guide will accompany you into the jungle for this quick trek. This hike is relatively short and ends at the always popular Manoa Falls! The hike normally takes us around 30-40 minutes each way. Once at the falls, you can take a dip in the small, natural pool at the bottom of the falls, if you like!
Tantalus Lookout Puu Ualakaa State Park
The Tantalus Lookout is just a quick drive from Manoa Falls, and is located on one of the mountain ridges that forms the Manoa valley. This is an amazing viewpoint that looks over all of Honolulu, Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the Manoa Valley. To the West, you can even see Pearl Harbor, the Airport, and the Waianae Mountains. We will be stopping here to soak in the views, explain the scenery, and take some memorable photos!
Honolulu
A short drive from the Tantalus Lookout, is the McCully area of Honolulu, where we will be stopping for lunch. This is a local area that includes some of our favorite eateries! Guests will have a few different delicious options, including Burgers, local plate lunches, and acai bowls!
Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens
After lunch, we will head out of Honolulu and up to the windward side of the island (about a 30 minute drive) where we will enter the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens. Guests will get a chance to explore the sprawling and naturally beautiful landscapes included within this 40-acre treasure. We will be spending around 3 hours here, so visitors can spend their day here, roaming the expansive grounds, or lazing around with a good book. From here, we will load back into the vehicle, and make the trip back to your hotels!
