Manoa Falls

Everybody told us what an amazing place this was and to be honest with you. It was just average. If you wanna go for a muddy hike only to find out that the pool at the bottom of the waterfall is not allowed to swim in this is your place. Having said that it is a gorgeous hike if that’s what you’re looking for.

Definitely glad I brought hiking shoes possible without but slippery. The accent was tolerable maybe work if out of shape or little kids. Beautiful scenery and definitely one of my favorite waterfalls in Hawaii so far. Nice little swimming hole and places to rest. Fun family hike be patient as the forest keeps the trail wet.

Really lovely hike. Because it’s an easy one it’s quite busy. You need sturdy shoes as there are rocks, mud and puddles and try to find good mosquitoe repellent. Mine didn’t work and got bitten all over. Have water too, it’s pretty toasty and humid on the trail. Parking was half price for us due to being military.

This was a great experience with my family. It did start raining but with all the tree cover you don’t get too wet. We paid $7 for parking. Bring bug spray or if you forget there’s some for purchase on a cart where you pay for parking. There’s no bathrooms along the trail so make sure you go beforehand if needed. The trail is pretty steady uphill and rocky. It can get a little slick if it rains. My 13 and 10 year old were fine to hike it. I’d recommend. Good price and not too crowded.

This place is a must see!! It is absolutely amazing. The scenery is unreal. It is so beautiful. It has been used for scenes in Jurassic Park and Lost. It is a round trip of 1.6 miles. Be sure to wear good grippy shoes. It was very slippery on the way down. Go you will not be disappointed. It is also free except for a small fee to park your car.

Good trail for hike. It is 4 out of 10 on difficulty grade. In February there was no water fall at all. Beautiful place in general

Easy hike! Takes less than an hour on regular walking on almost effortless uphill. The only "climb" is near the end, but we're talking about couple stairs here and there. You can see the fall from a distance, super safe, and there is no stall or facilities here. Don't forget to bring your own water as there is no one selling drinking water here either.

Beautiful hike! There is a paid parking lot at the entrance, and I recommend bringing mosquito repellent — you’ll need it! The trail goes uphill and can get quite muddy, so wear proper shoes. Some rocks along the way are slippery, so be cautious. At the end, you’ll reach a gorgeous waterfall. There is a sign warning not to approach too closely as it can be dangerous — but many people do get closer to enjoy the view. Overall, a great hike surrounded by lush Hawaiian vegetation, mostly shaded, making it perfect for a hot day. Would definitely recommend!
