Manoa Falls

The Manoa water falls trail is 0,9 miles (1,5 km) long, is considered easy, and should take about an hour or less.
There is a parking lot at the end of Manoa road, which costs $5, but you can also take bus number 5 which stops nearby.

There are several signs that guide you on the way.

The gate just after the road divides to the arboretum and to the trail to the falls.

This public toilet is the last one before the falls.

Th very first part is quite open before you get into thicker vegetation.

Around two thirds of the path is covered with gravel.

Eucalyptus tree

Sometimes the growth forms canopies over the trail, like these plants.

The path is kept clear, and although this trunk seems low, even a tall person can pass under without problem.

We visited a day when it was very dry, so there was no mud. However, that meant there was very little water in the falls. The trees may be Kauila trees

One of several bamboo patches.

The “portal” through the root of a banyan trees, a popular photo point.

The path is under repair about two thirds of the way. It becomes a narrow, ungravelled trail.

The path is so narrow in some places that people cannot pass each other.

One old section with steps, although some prefer to walk beside the steps.

Mud steps which can become very slippery when wet.

Although it was dry, one elderly person fell and hurt himself and had to be rescued by the Honolulu fire department. Indigenous hapuu ferns to the left.
