    Cancelled by Bike Hawaii, Yet Still Refusing Refund

    Unprofessional and unresponsive. They cancelled the Ko’olau Waterfall Hike via phone but are now refusing to authorize a refund to the booking agent, claiming the booking was non-refundable. You cannot cancel a service and keep the customer's money. Currently having to escalate this through wholesale partners because Bike Hawaii will not take accountability. Avoid booking here if you value your money and your time.

    Great Hike to Manoa Falls Waterfall!

    This is a great, easy trail with a spectacular waterfall at the end. It’s in a rainforest that gets 200 inches of rain annually so it’s wet. Be sure to bring a poncho. Our guide, Ray, was terrific!

    Response from the operator: Aloha and mahalo for hiking with us. Ray loves to share his love for Hawaii outdoors with others. Come back again soon. Safe travels home.

    We had fun but not for everyone

    My family and I had a great time but this hike isn't for everyone. The majority of the hike is on uneven terrain, steep uphill climb at times, and since you're going through rain forest, expect to get really wet and shoes/feet will be soaked and muddy! Our guide, Ray, was great, very informative, and we got to see and do something we don't have in Indiana.

    Beware for People with bad knees or ankles

    The hike was much harder than I expected it to be. I did not make it all the way to the falls. It was steep and very rocky.

    Response from the operator: Aloha Deborah, Yes our hiking trails in Hawaii can be difficult for folks that have never hiked or that have old injuries. This trail is nearly 2-miles round-trip. Thanks for joining us and giving a review.

    Manoa Falls Hawaii

    This was an amazing experience. Our guide Daniel was a wealth of information about Hawaii and shared great information with our group. He is fun, has a great sense of humor. He went way above the call of duty, helping me down the trail after I took a fall. The scenery, the flowers and plants are beautiful, plus seeing the waterfall was a stunning reward for making the hike. We would highly recommend this trip!

    Response from the operator: Aloha Lynn, We are happy to know that you enjoyed the hike with Daniel. Thank you for your kind words!

    Hawaiian Waterfall Hike: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Honolulu.

    How much does Hawaiian Waterfall Hike cost?

    +

    Prices start at $73 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Honolulu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hawaiian Waterfall Hike take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Honolulu is not rushed.

    Is Hawaiian Waterfall Hike worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Honolulu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hawaiian Waterfall Hike?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hawaiian Waterfall Hike suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hawaiian Waterfall Hike?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Honolulu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Honolulu and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hawaiian Waterfall Hike start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Honolulu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Honolulu?

    +

    Honolulu and greater Oahu run on early starts. Pearl Harbor memorial tickets release on a fixed schedule, the North Shore circle-island loop needs a full day, and the catamaran and snorkel runs off Waikiki fill fast in season. We rank on whether the operator secures Pearl Harbor entry themselves and how tight the circle-island itinerary really is. On Outty we rank every Honolulu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kevo's Beach Bus Paddleboard Snorkel Adventure North Shore Oahu, Pearl Harbor City Tour, Ultimate Pearl Harbor Circle Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Honolulu?

    +

    April to June and September to November, between the wet season and peak crowds. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Honolulu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
