Good hike. Not too long. lots to see along the way. like walking on a rocky river bed with some slick clay - like soil covering the rocks so you need to take care as you walk. All ages can do this. If you are a geocacher, there are a few caches along the way. Parking could be a challenge but we were lucky to get a spot. Would recommend for a nice morning stroll.

This is almost one mile uphill to get to the falls. The trail is rocky, muddy, and slippery in places making it more of a moderate hike than an easy hike. You pay to park, but entry to the trail is free. The trail is a beautiful hike through the rainforest. There are signs warning not to swim in the water. There were quite a few people on this trail.

Beautiful hike. Not too far from Waikiki, all fitness levels and a pretty waterfall at the end. Other trails stem off of this trail if you are up for extending your time out. Bring bug spray and water and make sure you are in proper footwear. There are nice rock steps but, some uneven ground. It is in the mountainside and trees so it can get wet. Bring a poncho if that is something that concerns you.

Very humid and hot but do-able hike with the kids. Wear hiking boots especially for kids. I don’t know how some people walked with slippers. The waterfall at the end was beautiful. Felt like being in the middle of a rainforest.

Rude attendant at parking. Disregarded completely our question and stated they ha e not presence online when we asked the parking fee discrepancy. Parking is $7 and not $5 as it is stated on Google. Waterfall and trail were great.

It was a great experience at Manoa Falls trail. The hike is very easy but muddy, so make sure to wear good shoes to avoid slipping. The waterfall is beautiful, although you can't get very close to it. Also, be sure to bring mosquito repellent as there are many."

Great hike for families but it is rocky and muddy . The waterfall is beautiful and you hear the flowing water throughout the hike, it gets steep towards the end. Bring mosquito repellant, and sandals to change into so you can clean your shoes with the hose near upper parking lot.

My family loved Manoa Falls hike! We did it with a 3 year old and a not so active 8 year old and it was a very easy hike for both of them. I wore Tevas and the kids wore water shoes and did fine. We were told the fall is more active on days when it rains, and it had just gotten done raining when we did it. The waterfall wasn’t the most impressive part, but the scenery inside is breathtaking. My kids love it and felt like it resembled Te Fiti from Moana. I would do it again and again. It was a much easier hike for the kids than Diamond Head and we enjoyed the nature more on this one.

I loved visiting this place but I didn't make it up to the top. I got three quarters up or exactly where you can see the waterfall from a distance. That was enough for me. Take care! Bring a walking stick. Most of all, enjoy every moment! You only live once. I was grateful to meet a mother and daughter who allowed me to walk up with them. Everyone was friendly and making sure that you felt safe walking up and down.

Great walk, take hiking stick as can get very slippery, bring mozzie spray as they will carry you away, can get very muggy. take water, bring your camera lots of photos to be taken along the way. Taxi will cost about $25.00 us both ways.
