Traveler reviews
Great waterfall tour
Stefan was our guide for this tour. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He prepared us for each site visit on the tour. Very relaxing. Some of the hikes were slightly rugged for myself and my wife in our seventies and having had knee replacement surgeries a few years ago. No problems on the tour. The waterfalls were beautiful. He rearranged our private tour of 7 people including 1 year old and 3 year old grandsons, due to scattered rain the island was experiencing on that day. I highly recommend the private tour and our guide Stefan
A core memory
Wow! Don’t doubt - book now! Stefan was such a cool guide. We learned so much about the island. It was so nice to just sit back, enjoy the views, and take everything in without having to worry about driving, parking, and passes. We will remember this adventure forever. Swimming in the waterfall will be a core memory.
Derrick is the best!
Derrick is absolutely AMAZING! Not only was he very cheerful and pleasant as a tour guide, but he offered so much interesting information and small anecdotes. But what I appreciate the most was that I left behind some belongings that were very valuable to me and he went out of his way after a full day long tour to drive back to my hotel and give them back to me. I highly recommend this Tour and Derrick to anybody interested in chasing waterfalls in Hawaii. P.S Please remember to tip your tour guides, if they are anything like Derrick then they deserve a hug too! - C.
Hawaii waterfalls fun adventure
Our tour guide Drew was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable and fun! He also was a respectful and grateful person of his land which we appreciated! We got to see a lot of Hawaii and got treated to malasadas!
Beautiful Waterfalls, Great Fun
Our tour was led by Jason, who not only showed us many gorgeous waterfalls and the botanical gardens, but introduced us to malasadas, the scrumptious filled Hawaiian doughnuts. We had a great day. My husband fulfilled his dream of swimming in a waterfall pool. We both enjoyed the beautiful native flowers and other plants in the garden.
