Robert our guide was FANTASTIC! He was very informative and kept the hike at steady pace. He made sure we were ok walking the trail. I highly recommend.

Gerard_s

Chris was great guide. Well knowledgeable and professional. Very energetic. Learned a lot about local plants and some customs. Tour was perfect for a couple of 60 year olds who loved to hike.

BeckyH

Super fun! Even though it rained the whole time we were there! But still beautiful to be in nature !!

Sarah_M

Our tour guide was lovely and very informative. She took tons of photos for us and was just so delightful. The hike itself was pretty crowded.

Tracytiki

Gorgeous Hike! Beautiful. Our tour guide was sweet, kind, helpful and cautious. She talked WAY too loud (on microphone the entire time in small van) and WAY too much. She did not breathe. It took away some of the enjoyment of the trip. She had a lot of good info just WAY too much of it. No chance to engage and ask questions without interrupting.

Paul_W

Good tour enjoyed it nice photo opportunities and also a nice hike to enjoy. It’s 3.5 - 4 hrs long so plan accordingly

Great tour and hike to the waterfall, kid friendly as-well. Thank you Hema for all the knowledge of the islands and great day and experience!!!

Brian_T

The hike to the waterfall, which was almost dried up but it’s a toss up, would you rather have tons of mud and a huge waterfall or a little mud and a little waterfall lol absolutely gorgeous either way. Would recommend if you don’t get to go out into the actual island much.

Really enjoyable few hours hiking up and then bicycling down. I don't usually join these kinds of group excursions, but it allowed me to easily jump right in to some nature near Honolulu on this my first time to the place and without renting a car. Daniel was an outstanding and enthusiastic guide and leader. The hike was slippery in some spots but indeed it was easy to keep everyone moving at around the same acceptable speed despite different levels of physical ability. Riding in a van up to the summit and then leisurely cycling down as a pack is also not the way I usually roll, but, again, everything was super convenient. I can recommend this experience for persons who are not super serious hikers or who do not go out to hike or bicycle on a regular basis.
