Staying in Waikiki and don’t want to rent a car? Booking a Manoa Falls shuttle is a great option to conveniently travel to and from the trailhead for the Manoa Falls Hike.
Of course, taking the local bus, a guided tour, a taxi, or an Uber or Lyft are certainly options for getting to Manoa Falls, but a shuttle offers the convenience of pick-up from select Waikiki hotels and drop-off right at the trailhead for the falls.
