Hiking to Manoa Falls - Just Outside Honolulu, Hawaii (Family Hike)

Hiking in Hawaii is beautiful and Oahu is the best island for hikers. If you are on vacation in Hawaii be sure to check out this beautiful waterfall hiking trail that is located just outside of Honolulu and Waikiki. It is super family friendly, dog friendly and has a decent amount of parking at the trail head. Just be ready to pay $7 for out of state and $4 for military and Kama’aina (locals).

I have been meaning to do this hike ever since I took my little girls to Lulumahu Falls on the other side of the ridge from Manoa Falls. The falls themselves look almost identical, but Manoa falls is definitely an easier hike, groomed and well maintained.

My daughters are 7 and 5 and were able to easily complete this hike. When we arrived we immediately spotted wild pigs. There was also a centipede on the trail, multiple mongoose, chickens, and we spotted a parrot. I still couldn't believe it, let us know in the comments if you have ever seen a parrot. And no it was not a parakeet.

🪖 If you new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! #MilitaryFamilyVlog We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
