Review of Big Island Waterfalls Tour with swimming, botanical gardens, Waipio Valley, lunch, hotel pickup, and practical tips.

“This was a really awesome tour! Amazing coastal views along the way and it was great to stop in the botanical gardens and see so many exotic floral and trees. I loved seeing all of the waterfall's. Akaka was unfortunately closed for repair but swimming in a very impressive Kulaniapia Falls was definitely a highlight of the day, as was stopping by Rainbow Falls after. Our tour guide Dreu was amazing, very energetic, funny and full of info and knowledge. Thank you for a great time!”

Review of Oahu’s 8.5-hour circle-island tour with Byodo-In Temple, Waimea Falls, hotel pickup, local treats, and practical tips.

“Definitely some positives with great stops and info, but captain Vince was unprofessional as he used much of the tour to try and hookup with a female guest. And while it was nice learning some Hawaiian words, the repetitiveness of him asking us to recite their meaning, grew tiresome.”
