Ricky –

Alanna, Dreu and Douglas provided a great experience! They were knowledgeable in every question and more. Well worth it if you want a tour of the countryside of Big Island :)

M
Marc – Spain

This was a beautiful and spiritual trip, all the green nature in the island available on one single tour. Amazing views with cold waterfall pools to dive in with delicious snacks after. Dreu was an amazing guide with a lot of good flow and spiritualism. I truly recommend this guide and of course jump to the water even if it's cold. Pay attention to the horn ;)

Full description

Explore Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve & Garden, swim at Kulanipia private waterfalls, visit majestic Waipio Valley Lookout, and the stunning Akaka Falls on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii on this full day of fun and exciting adventure. Discover the island’s diverse natural beauty, including multiple waterfalls, lush rain forests, and rugged sea cliffs as your guide shares history and legends.

The morning begins with a visit to the majestic Waipio Valley Lookout after passing through the famous Parker Ranch. Marvel at the stunning views of the rugged sea cliffs drop into the sparkling blue ocean and mile-long black sand beach.

A drive along the scenic Hamakua Coast will greet you with a burst of energy as the splendid waterfalls await – capture the famous Akaka Falls while you hear the unrivaled power of water coursing down hundreds of feet. Continue to a garden nestled in the scenic Onomea Bay – Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve & Garden. Throughout this garden valley, nature trails meander through a true tropical rainforest, crossing bubbling streams, passing several beautiful waterfalls, and the exciting ocean vistas along the rugged Pacific Coast. This highly acclaimed garden allows you to take up-close shots of rare and exotic flora-over 2000 species of exotic tropical plants and orchids in a tranquil setting.

In the afternoon, you will escape the crowd and get to swim under the 120 feet tall Kulaniapia private waterfall, Hawaii’s largest privately accessible waterfall, to cool down and relax when river conditions permit. The adventure ends with the return to Kona or Kohala Coast via a spectacular drive on Saddle Road, a highway nestled between the world’s tallest sea mountain Mauna Kea and the world’s most massive mountain Mauna Loa.

Unfortunately, it was an abnormally high rain day which limited visibility for most of the activities. Our guide did well given the location closures due to flooding but was able to provide alternative stops. The rain also required our guide to have extra focus on the road and limited some interactions.
