Traveler reviews
Must do waterfall tour and swim
Mark Frazier was our guide and he was amazing! So entertaining with lots of facts about Hawaii. He made sure everyone was comfortable and had what they needed. Definitely recommend the waterfall tour and swimming in it was the next part. 10/10!
BEST thing to do on Big Island!
Waterfalls hike was the highlight of our Big Island trip. The guides Mark and Rachel told us many interesting facts about the Big Island and the flora/fauna in our hike. We’ve swam in waterfalls on other islands, but this was special because we learned so much and had access to private uncrowded waterfalls that weren’t 6-10 miles to hike to.
Amazing Guide, Great Waterfalls!
We had a great time on the Hawaii Forest & Trail Secret Waterfalls of Kona Excursion! Our guide, Mark, was incredible--he kept everyone talking and he was genuinely interested in hearing everyone's travel stories. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with a wealth of fascinating information about the island. After a comfortable van ride, we hiked a beautiful trail that led us to a series of truly stunning, pristine waterfalls. We were treated to a delicious lunch from a local deli, and we loved that it was mostly served in eco-friendly, reusable containers. On the way back, we made a perfect final stop at a local macadamia nut store. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and we recommend it!
Great swim great views
Dave gave us s great tour of the property and waterfalls! Each waterfall was better and better. We had plenty of time to swim around and the views from our picnic were stunning. Highly recommend this tour. Can’t leave Hawaii without doing this tour.
Day well spent in North Kohala!
Our guide, Mark, is amazing! He is very energetic, engaging, knowledgeable and caring. We saw three waterfalls, learned a lot about preservation efforts and local agriculture in this private nature reserve and ended the tour with a well prepared picnic lunch with an amazing view of the sea cliffs!
