Jungle Hike

About This Experience

Escape into Oahu's lush rainforest canopy on this jungle hike Honolulu adventure where you set the pace. Custom Island Tours LLC guides you to two incredible trail destinations, backed by official DLNR permits granting access to seven different hiking trails across the island. With flexible 2 to 4-hour durations and Waikiki hotel pickup, this experience adapts perfectly to your schedule and fitness level.

Two distinct trails await, each with unique rewards. Manoa Falls ranks among Oahu's most beloved hiking spots—a 1-mile trek each way through dense jungle to reach the waterfall. The recently improved gravel trail cuts down on mud while preserving that authentic rainforest feel, where frequent rainfall keeps the jungle vibrant and the waterfall flowing strong. You'll end up about 50 feet from the falls, viewing from the designated barrier area.

For something easier, the Kalawahine trail offers a gentler 1.5-mile dirt path with minimal elevation gain. Since transportation takes you partway up the mountain first, you'll have energy to enjoy the diverse tropical flora—flowers, trees, ferns, plus seasonal pink and strawberry guava. Ancient lava flow remnants add fascinating geological layers to this jungle hike Honolulu experience.

At 1,500 feet elevation, Kalawahine delivers sweeping views of Leeward Oahu, stretching over the airport and Pearl Harbor areas. The flexible trail length means groups can turn back whenever comfortable, accommodating various fitness levels.

Pricing starts from $250 for groups of 1-4 people, while larger groups of 5-11 people are $400. Your experience includes hotel pickup directly from Waikiki accommodations, professional guide services, and official trail permits. Full refunds come with 24-hour cancellation notice or operator weather cancellations, though no-shows receive no refund.
