Self guided Hike Trail to Nature Walk & Waterfall

3.Self guided Hike Trail to Nature Walk & Waterfall

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

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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 44 reviews · 4 hours

Review of the $5 self-guided Ravenna Gorge hike from Hinterzarten, with waterfalls, mills, chapel, cuckoo clock, route tips, and practical advice.

“Belle petite randonnée de 3-4 heures. Je recommande de la faire en hiver, les paysages sont totalement enneigé et magnifiques, par contre la difficulté est plus élevée. J'ai eu du mal à utiliser l'application, qui se ferme tout le temps. Néanmoins je recommence l'activité.”
