Awesome Day Out - I highly recommend Wasabi tours, I did the waterfalls tour. I loved that it was a small group and our guide, Dreu was so much fun, he had a lot to say about waterfalls, volcanoes, island history and much more. It was an excellent day with lots of great memories to take away.

Amazing Hawaii Tours - We did two tours with Wasabi. Volcanos tour and waterfall tour. Both tour guides were very good and super interesting. Waterfall tour was my favorite and dreu (tour guide) was amazing. Super funny and knowledgeable. I highly suggest the Wasabi tours.

Get out into the wild! Waterfalls plus Tropical Bioreserve - Spend a day out in the wilds of Hawaiian waterfalls and tropical bioreserve. Our guide, Derek, has lead tours all over the world and brings such a sense of fun and adventure that he had our whole group participating in the joy and adventure of it all. Our highlight was the private waterfall where we all jumped in - and Derek jumps right in with you! Just go for it!

Beautiful waterfalls - Great way to explore waterfalls, not too much time sitting in a van without getting a chance to stretch, saw a beautiful botanical garden. Our guide Derek was super knowledgeable, had wonderful stories about the island and was a super safe driver. Would definitely recommend this tour for family or small groups

Great falls and local lore - Dreu our guide was great, made sure everyone was involved and had so many interesting facts about trip. Waterfall’s were great and learned so much about falls, towns we went through. Our swim in the private falls was great, we were the only ones there. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Fun, beautiful, educational. - Beautiful island, great tour guide. Drew was funny and very knowledgeable about everything. He made this adventure authentic and fun. All ages group was fun and able to do this trip. Some steep areas, but good shoes helped. Gorgeous scenic tour. We had great weather and amazing spots to visit including the bio garden and the valley of kings. Without Drew, it would not have been the same. Haven't had a better guide ever. MAHALO, Drew!

Not what we thought we signed up for... - I have to admit I didn't read the description carefully enough. While you travel by bus, this is a walking tour and there are plenty of long, steep trails you will have to travel to get the fullest out of the tour. I think that the description should emphasize that. We were attracted by the waterfall swim and for us that was the main attraction. To find out that there was a significant possibility that we could not do the swim once we got on the bus was disheartening. It turned out that we were able to swim but we didn't know that until we got to the site. However, the real gem of this tour was the trip to Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve & Garden. What a beautiful place. It was truly the highlight of the tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and the features of the big island.
