Our guide Garry , led us to many beautiful vistas and described the history of these areas as well as some of the geological formations. We had a splendid, easy hike with a good group of friendly travelers. Multiple waterfalls were visited, and we were able to swim in the clear cool Kahala Falls. We were introduced to the local Fauna and wildlife. A nice picnic lunch was provided. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in getting to know the history and beauty of Hawaii

This was such an amazing and beautiful hike/experience. We had such a great guide- Dane! He was so knowledgeable and shared so much history and information about the plants, trees, and all the wildlife of the surrounding areas. The waterfall stops were incredible and we loved swimming in the refreshing water!! Dane even joined us in the water and made it so much fun. The gorgeous views during our lunch at the end were breathtaking. And the lunch was delicious!! Thanks, Dane for a fantastic and memorable experience for our group!! Highly recommend!!

So glad we booked this! Our guide Taro was organized, knowledgeable and the pace of the tour was perfect! The small format was really good, the walk through the area was so beautiful, the waterfalls and especially the one we swam in were amazing. Tara took the time to take pictures for the guests while updating on the area, plants and birdlife. Lunch was excellent held on a bluff with picnic tables and a soaring view of the ocean. Walk I would classify as moderate, you have to be able to do some stairs.The guide was good in making sure the pace was good for everyone! 5/5 all the way!
