The World’s 9 Best Nature Walks

1.Self guided Hike Trail to Nature Walk & Waterfall

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 283 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $79Our pick

Hike through Oahu’s rainforest to Manoa Falls, learn local plant lore, and visit a Waikiki lookout with hotel pickup for $79.

“I will definitely recommend this. With Robert as our guide, we learned a lot about the flora and fauna of Manoa, which we would not have known if we did the hike on our own. The water in the falls was not overflowing, but because we already read this in old reviews, we managed our expectations. But the hike in the rainforest is worthy of one's time. And we got a refreshing rainshower when we got to the falls. So 5 stars for Robert and the experience!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 230 reviews · from $47Best value

Review of Doi Inthanon from Chiang Mai, with waterfalls, pagodas, a seasonal forest trek, lunch, coffee, and practical planning tips.

“It was a wonderful day trip to Doi Inthanon National Park and this tour exceeded my expectations. Tour company provides hotel pick up and drop off after the tour, which was convenient. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were not rushed at all locations and the timing was perfect. Lunch was around 3 pm but tour guide warned about it and we had a stop to buy snacks, besides there were plenty of shops and cafes at each tour locations. Also, it was no additional charges and all entry tickets were included into the price.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 158 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $116

Review of Edinburgh’s Pentland Hills hike with local guide Rishi, bus fare, snacks, wildlife, steep climbs, views, and practical tips.

“I really enjoyed my walk in the Pentland Hills with Rishi! It was such a unique way to experience Edinburgh and Rishi's love for the Scottish hills made it a memorable outing. I would highly recommend this excursion if you're looking to be out in nature while only 20-ish minutes away from the city. Note that the duration of the walk wasn't too long, but there is a fairly steep incline. Rishi was great about making everyone feel comfortable about their pace.”

9.Private Doi Inthanon With Trekking Pha Dok Siew Nature Trail

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 9 hours · from $141

Review of a private Doi Inthanon tour from Chiang Mai, with waterfalls, hill-tribe trekking, pagodas, rice fields, lunch, and local coffee.

“Beautiful day from start to finish. Bird was very attentive, knowledgeable (he gave us a lot of good recommendations), and genuinely nice - and a very good driver as well. The trekking part was led by a local guide from the tribe, who was also lovely and shared many interesting insights along the way. The trail itself was stunning. We really appreciated having the tour private, as it meant we never felt rushed and could spend more time in the places we enjoyed most. Highly recommended.”
