Na Ala Hele: Manoa Falls Trail
Na Ala Hele: Manoa Falls Trailvery nice and well maintained garden with two loops you can hike. Both are short, one much shorter than the other, and great for all groups and even kids. This place is peaceful and relaxing. The loop on this hike also connects to another trial that goes up along the ridge line and is much longer and more challenging. It eventually takes you to an overlook of the Kapa'a quarry. That hike is not good for kids, and is about 2 hours or a little more round trip. Several steep sections that can be slippery.
