Traveler reviews
Very Excellent Adventure Tour
What an excellent tour! Our guide, Garry, was so knowledgeable and interesting. So fun to explore with him. The tour picked us up at our rental house in a nice Sprinter van. We got to go onto private land which is pretty much uninhabited. They provided walking sticks, rain jackets, towels, day packs, snacks - everything was in great condition and excellent quality (ie. Patagonia jackets). It was so interesting to learn about the land and peoples who populated it originally. The hike was exactly as described - mild walking about 1-2 miles. Unfortunately, we were there the day before Hurricane Lala hit the island and the waterfalls were enormous so no swimming for us. Garry was amazed because he had been there 2 days prior and the size of the waterfalls was at least half to 3/4 of what we saw. We were disappointed to miss the swimming in the waterfalls but....that's nature for you. We had an excellent lunch afterwards. This tour is pricey but well worth it. I would definitely use Hawaii Forest & Trail again for other adventures.

Such a refreshing dip under waterfalls after great hike with great leader!!!!! I will return to this hike with family! And I will schedule BIRD WATCHING ALL DAY ADVENTURE later in2024!!
Fantastic tour
Great chance to hike waterfalls otherwise inaccessible since they are on private land - tour guide was knowledgeable and shared history of Hawaii with the group
Unforgettable experience chasing waterfalls
We had a wonderful time hiking to the waterfalls and swimming. Mateo was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. In addition to his knowledge about the plants and sites, he also shared history and legends. I would definitely do this again!
Adventurous and fun day
The guide was very invested in our experience. He even swam with us to ensure our safety since my husband is not a strong swimmer. One person dropped their iPhone off a bridge near the falls. The guide went into the water to retrieve it. For lunch, he took us to an amazing view. He stopped the van twice to get us fruits off of a tree so we could try it. It was an adventurous and fun day. My 11 yr old son had a good time too.
