Hikers saved Tuesday morning stuck in forest Monday night

Three Hawaii Pacific University students missed their first day of classes after spending the night on a ledge above Manoa Falls.

The three — two men and a woman in their early 20s — called for help with a cell phone at 6:20 Monday night after they wandered off the trail, said Capt. Terry Seelig, the Honolulu Fire Department spokesman.

The trio left the trail after climbing to the top of the first waterfall and then became disoriented and ended up on a ledge, Seelig said.

A Fire Department helicopter spotted the three at 6:45 p.m., but fire rescuers were unable to reach them because of darkness and suspended the rescue efforts until 6 a.m. Tuesday. The helicopter airlifted the trio off the ledge and flew them to the Lyon Arboretum parking lot at 7:15 a.m.

None of the three needed medical attention.
