Good to know
Know before you go
Tickets begin at age 5, with child and youth bands below the adult category. Moderate fitness is required. This hike isn't recommended for poor cardiovascular health, and your party needs to handle muddy ground on foot.
Mud and wet shoes are part of the planning for this waterfall walk. Bring a small towel for the outing. Your guide supplies bottled water and bug spray, so you can carry those along with your own belongings.
Entering the water depends on conditions at the waterfall. It isn't guaranteed with your booking. Your guide's visit to the falls doesn't mean standing beneath the falling water will be appropriate on the day.
You need to provide the place where you want collection. Custom pickup addresses can be arranged. The covered areas include Waikiki and Ala Moana, with downtown Honolulu and Diamond Head also included in the pickup description.
A booking accepts one to eight travelers with an adult, and the group stays within eight. Your booking is accepted immediately with a mobile ticket. Weather or insufficient turnout can still prevent the departure from running.
You can receive a full refund by canceling at least 24 hours before the scheduled start. Inside that window, cancellation isn't refundable. Check your available afternoon before choosing a later departure around other plans.
