Coco is a fabulous guide. She’s very knowledgeable and funny and it’s very apparent that she wants all participants to have a good time. The weather didn’t fully cooperate but she tried her best to see that we got the best available views of Waimea Canyon. Lunch at The Lodge was yummy and my husband was even treated to a birthday piece of pie which he kindly shared with me. The tour is long but there was a good variety of activities and the day went by very fast. Coco’s commentary was very interesting: that gal has a lot of facts in her head! Come on, take this tour, you won’t regret it.

Coco was outstanding. Incredibly knowledgeable, funny and seemed to know when to let people wander on their own. She made sure we ALL had gorgeous photos. Excellent driving and a clean vehicle. Highly recommend this tour.
