Manoa Falls

Your mileage may vary- when we visited it wasn’t really a waterfall. It’s more of a trickle. So for us it was a bit of a let down to get to the ”falls” and not really see any. Still a nice hike through a pretty area. A little crowded and the trails could use some upkeep. We might have been able to overlook these a bit more easily had we been treated with amazing waterfall views. Alas, luck was not on our side and thus the honest review of what we found.

Nice hike, pretty viewpoint of the tall waterfall. Although I recommend to bring bug spray. They have some available for purchase. (I recommend this because there was mosquitoes)

Gorgeous hike! 1 mile from the overflow parking lot to the top. Slippery and ammonia little muddy, but nothing too crazy. Take your time and enjoy the incredible valley flora. 10/10!

This is an excellent way for everyone to see a beautiful Hawaii waterfall! This is a paved walk up a gentle incline. We didn’t use, the they also have electric carts available for those who can’t make the hike up. The waterfall includes a spot to swim up close for great pics. Life jackets are available for no charge. There is a charge for admission but there is plenty to see and learn along the way. As an added bonus, both times I’ve visited, I’ve seen the peacock on the way to the restroom.

Nice hike but the waterfall much dissapointing especially on a sunny days. And for those that hope to swim/bath in its waters... signs say the water is contaminated and what they fo not say on sunny days very shallow.

Breathtaking views... Highly recommend this hike. Truly like stepping into a movie dreamscape, this place has tropical forest greenery I thought you could only dream of. The waterfall at the end isn't really the highlight of the hike, it's the views along the way. The hike is medium difficulty, a bit slippy and your shoes will get dirty, but it's not too strenuous or difficult for the average person.

Nice short hike with steady elevation climb Parking is paid at the lot entrance, there is one lower and upper lot. Highly recommend to bring a poncho, umbrella, and waterproof clothing as this area experiences high levels of rainfall The trail and get muddy and slippery, however the hike can be done within an hour with a brisk pace

Great hike and fun for the whole family. Is definitely muddy and slippery in parts so wear good shoes! Pay to park- $7 per card or military/kamaaina- $4.
