“Our tourguide Nahoku is on time, friendly, equiptment ready, very informative, engaging, funny, takes amazing photos, and looked after us well. This tour is a hike to Manoa waterfall. The hike can be slippery when the track is wet but our tourguide has provided us a walking sticks and that made this walk easier. Lunch is yum. My first Hawaiian acai bowl. Very refreshing after feeling all hot and sweaty from the hike. The view where we had lunch is beautiful, offering a wide city skyline of honolulu city. This tour is a must see ♡Sushi”
Review of Maui’s private Road to Hana Jeep tour, with waterfalls, bamboo forest, local food, flexible stops, guide Alec, price, and practical tips.
“HIGHLY recommend! So many hidden gems that you would miss driving the road to Hana yourself. At most of the stops we were the only ones there or maybe one other small group. It was so nice to see the beauty up-close outside of the car, and to get view of the island more as a local would while still checking out the sights that draw tourists to the road to Hana.”

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!”
Hike Maui’s rainforest trails to three to five waterfalls, swim in cool pools, taste tropical fruit, and enjoy lunch beside the falls.
“Cole was fantastic! So relaxing and informative and beautiful!”
