We LOVE DREU! What an amazing experience! The waterfalls were beautiful- they capture the aloha spirit of The Big Island. What a treat to swim in a private waterfall!! The botanical gardens were lush and exquisite, and our tasty Hawaiian lunch by the ocean was a lovely treat too. Drue was an excellent guide- lots of knowledge about the island with a gleeful sense of humor! This is definitely a must-do on your list of experiences for Kona! Mahalo!

Had an amazing tour thanks to our lovely Dreu who made it such a wonderful, educational, comfortable and fun day! I love every bit of it, especially swimming in the private falls. Will definitely be back in the future. :)
