75-acres of hidden Oahu & Spectacular Rainforest Ride

This moderate 2-mile round-trip guided hike is a rare opportunity to explore 75-acres of sacred land that is exclusive only to the guests of this tour. Experience the majestic beauty of a towering 200-foot private waterfall, cross through tranquil streams, picturesque pools and view ancient lo`i (rock terraces) and lush tropical vegetation of Hawaii's paradise.
With average year-round temperatures of 80 degree (cooler in the rainforest), refreshing trade winds and two volcanic mountain ranges on this Hawaiian island, Oahu is a hiker's paradise. Given the popularity of hiking, and since most all other hiking companies feature public trails and multiple groups, the secluded personality of the rainforest is often compromised. This locally owned and operated company has aparticular passion for the unique Oahu volcanic rainforest , we take great pride in knowing our guests are experiencing something uniquely our own and will not be overcrowded by other tour companies and the general public. Our exclusive rainforest adventure is more than a hike; it is a journey to the secluded and lush 75-acres of private Manoa Valley rainforest.
