DO NOT book this tour if you're expecting a leisurely cruise up the coast to photograph some waterfalls. This is an unsafe and traumatizing experience that you should very much reconsider.
First of all, the boat pictured in the photographs is not that boat you will be on. You will be on a small inflatable raft with a motor attached, and you’ll be expected to sit on the sides of that raft that has all of the handles ripped off of it. You will not be provided life jackets, you will be not given a safety briefing.
This tour operates rain or shine, no matter what the weather or water conditions are which is absolutely insane. We sat in this raft in the middle of the bay for over an hour in an absolute downpour as our guide rambled on and on his own perspective of the history of Hawaii which he made up off the top of his head. After that, we headed out into the ocean with 20ft swells, still in the pouring rain, bouncing up and down, fearing for our lives the entire time. The hard rain on our face that felt like knives was the least of our worries on this tiny inflatable raft.
Even if the weather was perfect, if the water was smooth as glass, and had we been on an actual boat, the tour itself and the sights we saw are not worth the price of admission. Tiny little waterfalls off in the distance, so small it looks like someone just left their faucet running. Our guide was completely silent for this second half of the tour, by the way, once he has finished up his tall tales in the first half, he had nothing more to say.
The tour ended at 4:30pm and we simply couldn’t bring ourselves to do anything else the rest of the day. We were traumatized.
If I knew what this “tour” really was, I never in a million years would have done this, nor would I have signed any sort of waiver. This company should be shut down. This tour is NOT safe.
