The Hawaiians named this valley Manoa, which means thick, solid, vast, and deep.
10,000 to 20,000 years ago, a lava flow cut through land to make the deep, wide, and lush valley floor.
Manoa Falls is a beautifully maintained trail that takes hikers through rain forests to a waterfall and swimming hole.
Standing beneath a tunnel of heart-shaped hau leaves, listening to thrush calls and water flowing down Manoa Stream, visitors will know they are in paradise.
