On your way, observe local flora and fauna and remnants of ancient Hawaiian farming terraces. Your guide provides mosquito repellent, a poncho, trail snacks and water, and other amenities so you can relax and enjoy your surroundings.
Manoa Falls has become a celebrity of sorts, having had starring roles in some major blockbusters! From Jurassic Park to the Hunger Games: Catching Fire where it was used in the film’s jungle arena sequence. This location has even been seen on television in scenes from Lost and Hawaii Five-0 – this majestic Hawaiian attraction shouldn’t be missed. Be sure to bring your camera.
Manoa Falls is well-known for its fascinating stories and legends, especially the eerie Night Marchers legend. According to this tale, powerful Ancient Hawaiian Warriors roam the Manoa Falls Trail as Spirits. Pay special attention near the Banyan Tree at trail’s start as this is believed to be one path taken by these eerie warriors who can sometimes still be heard screeching through the night!
