Manoa Falls Trail is a true nature gem in Honolulu, easy enough for most hikers. When I visited, the waterfall didnât have much water, but itâs important to note that swimming isnât allowed due to bacteria. The trail can get very muddy and slipperyâespecially if itâs drizzling like when I wentâso wear sturdy shoes with good grip, as there are a lot of stones along the path. Thereâs a $7 parking lot at the start and a building with restrooms before you begin the trail. Walking through it feels like trekking in the middle of a jungleâitâs peaceful and refreshing. This spot may not be super popular, but I think itâs absolutely worth visiting when youâre in Honolulu.

Manoa Falls is a great hike if youâre looking for something scenic and relaxing đż The walk takes around one to two hours and is surrounded by lush rainforest and greenery, making it feel calm and refreshing. The trail is mostly easy with a few moderate sections, and it can get muddy or slippery, so good shoes are helpful đ The waterfall at the end is a beautiful reward and makes the hike worth it đŠ A great option for anyone wanting to enjoy Hawaiiâs natural beauty without a long or intense hike đșđŽ

A well cared for trail with beautiful trees and fair few green ringneck parrots. The trees are impressive and the falls are very cool to look at. Please note that swimming is not permitted or recommended due to bacteria. The actual walk itself is fairly easy with some incline and steps, so not wheelchair accessible. I will say that it can be VERY slick and muddy so prepare with sandals or shoes that have good tread and you don't mind getting mucky.
