Your downhill biking and hiking adventure will begin discovering the hidden hiking treasures of Oahu’s lush volcanic rainforest. This moderate 1.5-mile round-trip guided hike is a great opportunity to explore Hawaii’s lush tropical rainforest, experience tranquil streams and splash in a privately owned waterfall. Join us on a guided Koolau waterfall hike on private property as we explore lush tropical vegetation of Hawaii’s paradise, tranquil streams, a picturesque pool and a secluded 35 ft waterfall with ocean views of windward Oahu. With average year-round temperatures of 80 degree (cooler in the rainforest), 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. As a locally owned and operated company with a particular passion for the unique Oahu volcanic rainforest , we take great pride in knowing our guests are experiencing something unique. Our rainforest adventure is more than a hike; it is a journey to the old Hawai’i. This is a mild to moderate hike over dirt trail with rocks and roots. In the rainforest, expect rain and forest. Trail can be muddy and slippery when wet. Hawaiian waterfalls will vary in water output depending on many factors, including recent rainfall. Hiking time is approximately 1.5 hours. After the waterfall hike, you’ll experience another specialty of Bike Hawaii on our most sought after bike tour. This easy 5-mile tropical ride coasts downhill on a paved road nestled in the lush Puu Ohia rainforest. This unique experience combines Hawaii’s tropical rainforest, magnificent panoramic views of scenic Oahu, the fragrance of tropical fruits and flowers with Hawaiian culture, history, native species of bird and animals and its unique geological features.
