What To Expect

With average year-round temperatures of 80 degrees fahrenheit (26 degrees celcius), refreshing trade winds and two volcanic mountain ranges on this Hawaiian island, Oahu is a hiker's paradise. Given the popularity of hiking, and since most all other hiking companies feature public trails and multiple groups, the secluded personality of the rainforest is often compromised. This exclusive rainforest adventure is more than a hike; it is a journey through the past and present in a remote 75-acres (300,000 square meters) of private Manoa Valley rainforest.

This is a mild to moderate hike over dirt trail. Hiking time is approximately 4 hours.
