Valley of the Rainbows Oahu Small Group Adventure

Oahu, United States of America

Put on your walking shoes and take an easy, small group stroll through lush rainforest deep within the beautiful Valley of the Rainbows on Oahu. You'll enjoy a personalized experience on this exclusive small group tour (maximum tour number is 14) and all hiking equipment is provided.

Led by your expert hiking guide, this four-hour small group trek takes you off the beaten track to explore Oahu's tropical natural beauty. There's no need to pack any extra gear, as you'll enjoy free use of a backpack, flashlight, binoculars, walking staff and raingear. While you stroll, you'll learn about Oahu's fascinating geology, natural history and ecosystems from your expert guide.

First stop is Lyon Arboretum, one of the world's premier botanical gardens. The arboretum is home to many rare and endangered native Hawaiian plants, and a special area is devoted to species used by the ancient Polynesians.

You will then visit Pu'u Uala'kaa, perched above the glistening waters of Waikiki. From this lofty vantage point, where Elvis Presley had a picnic lunch in the movie Blue Hawaii, you will have breathtaking 180-degree panoramic views of Oahu's scenic south-east coastline. Perhaps you'll even see a glistening double rainbow arching across the Valley of the Rainbows far below!

This was an interesting tour as our guide was very knowledgeable about the plantlife of Hawaii, and the sights are amazing, particularly from the viewing point on the return journey - we saw right across Honolulu to Diamond Head. The only disappointment was that this is billed incorrectly on Viator and there are no waterfalls on the tour it is a tour of botanical gardens in a rainforest called the Valley of the Rainbows due to the frequency of rainbows occurring there. We still thoroughly enjoyed it though!

Really nice hike...minus the killer mosquitos. If you have insane, severe allergic reactions to mosquito bites, please avoid this tour at all costs.

If you love learning about the flora and fauna of Hawaii, this is the tour for you. The microclimes of Hawaii are amazing, and this was an excellent example of that. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge and made the day go by so quickly. The hike was very easy, but still one should wear shoes on the walk as recommended.
