What To Expect

North Shore Marketplace

This fun little adventure has it all: scenic views, exotic plants, and refreshing mountain streams. The "Iki" starts off with a 7-mile off-road ride to the trail head and continues with a hike through unspoiled natural beauty rarely witnessed by Oʻahu visitors. Hikers will scale windswept ridges, forge freshwater streams, and trek through verdant tropical valleys. See wild bananas, guava, bamboo thickets, scented gingers, and other spectacular rainforest plants. Revel in Hawai'i's fascinating history, culture, and ancient mythology as shared by an expert Hawaiian guide. If that's not enough, how about a rejuvenating swim in a private mountain pool? End your hike with a light gourmet lunch and this experience will have you smiling all the way home. This is the best little trail on the island and the perfect way to experience Oʻahu.

Great time on our Little Adventure! Learned so much about history of Oahu while hiking through the amazing North Shore. Ryan was an incredible guide. Wonderful morning out and easily doable with a 10-year-old.

Outstanding 4 hour hike! The description is accurate - rugged, heights, ensure you're physically able to navigate interesting terrain. Our Guide Ryan was so helpful, fun and educational. He had intricate knowledge of every inch of the trail, catered to the varying ability levels and was passionate about conservation and Hawaiian history. Highly recommend this as one of the first things you do in Oahu because you'll have so much more knowledge about the island to adjust rest of your trip. The lunch they pack you was yummy as well, yummy spring rolls!

First, a warning to all you "older folks" who think you can handle anything. The tour description says clearly, if you have leg, knee or hip issues, this tour might not be for you. I must have missed that part, and it is absolutely accurate. Our guide Ryan was exceptional, friendly and funny, knowledgeable and helpful. At the beginning of the hike he loaded us up with backpacks, lunch, water and snacks to fortify us for the adventure, and gave us a quick overview of what we could expect. Away we went, down a mountain trail into the jungle. In my mind, I had envisioned a leisurely stroll through a flowery glade where I could take lots of photos. What it turned in to was (in my 71 year old opinion) a 4 hour iron man competition, ending with a steep uphill trail of switchbacks roughly the height of an 11 story building. You might think I'm complaining - I am not. Ryan was careful to keep us all on the trail, narrate the natural and unique features of the jungle, the ecological challenges it faces and Hawaiian laws that protect certain species. He provided rest spots when he deemed it necessary. A beautiful Air Force couple took it on themselves to be our guardians, and during the final ascent, Ryan was right with me and my wife, helping for the final push to the summit... Any difficulties I had were the result of my overestimating my capabilities and endurance. Ryan and the other members of the expedition were absolutely kind and helpful, and I cannot recommend the tour more highly. Just make sure you're in shape...
