Just a short 8 minute drive away from 2416 Manoa Road, lies a popular 1.6 mile round trip hike that is perfect for beginners. Located at 3737 Manoa Road, this rocky terrain gives a decent workout, but is one of the easiest trails in the Honolulu area that rewards its hikers with a cascading waterfall. Soak in the fragrant smells of Eucalyptus trees and indulge in the lush bamboo forest oasis that is ironically in the heart of Urban Honolulu. Walking through the thick of the forest, you will find a pleasant change from traffic, road work, crowds and instead, you will find yourself spending time with the birds, the stream, nature, and, well, fellow hikers of course. It is an easy hike and one of the best, we found, to show our mainland friends, who will love the benefit of a waterfall at the end. Make sure you go to the Lyon Arboretum that is next door to see the incredible giant trees and flowers.
