Free Vacations Hawaii presents… the most most exotic Oahu Mountain Hike…Oahu Nature Tours Mountain Hike Valley of the Rainbows Adventure!Travel with us to the enchanting, lush rainforest deep within the beautiful Valley of the Rainbows. Nestled below towering jungle trees, Lyon Arboretum, one of the world’s premier botanical gardens awaits you. Oahu Nature Tours provides exclusive, small group, guided tours to this exotic rainforest paradise where 5,000 species of plants bathe in the, fragrant mists produced by over 185 inches of rainfall every year.
As we explore the 200 acre garden, colorful blossoms including bromeliads, hibiscus and orchids surround you while tropical birds sing nearby. Your nature guide will provide information about the garden’s interesting history and efforts to save some of the rarest plants in the world.
Traveling through the historic valley you will learn about the fascinating local history and mythology.The ancient, cloud-swept, emerald green hills have witnessed a steady procession of uses on the valley floor, from Hawaiian taro farms, to cattle ranches, coffee plantations and Japanese rice paddies.
We then visit Pu’u ‘Uala-ka’a located 1,048 feet above Waikiki. From this lofty vantage point you have a breathtaking 180 degree panoramic view of Oahu’s scenic southeast coastline and sometimes a glistening double rainbow arching across the Valley of the Rainbows far below.
Reviews;
Took the North Shore and Manoa Falls Hike with Oahu, had Harry and Dante as the tour guides. Both were awesome, provided so much information and always entertaining. Originally thought the tour would just be pointing out the sight seeing spots and what to look for, but both Harry and Dante provided more interesting facts which made the trip a fun, interesting, and learning experience. It made me appreciate the nature and Hawaiian culture so much more.
