Manoa Falls Shuttle

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.

A Manoa Falls shuttle offers you the chance to ride back and forth with a knowledgeable local that may impart helpful information en route. Some drivers give you tips for great local eateries, others point out landmarks along the way, or give insightful commentary on the city and Hawaiian culture.

This highly-rated Manoa Falls shuttle includes return transport from many Waikiki area hotels and resorts. The half-day tour gives you plenty of time at Manoa Falls, to enjoy the hike to the waterfall and back, and take lots of photos.

Once you arrive at the drop-off point by the trailhead, your driver will give you a walking stick (super helpful on slick portions of the trail), bug spray, and bottled water, and he will let you know where you will be picked up at the designated time after the hike.

You can reserve now and pay later, and you also have the option to cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours prior to the experience.
