Great experience - Chris was great guide. Well knowledgeable and professional. Very energetic. Learned a lot about local plants and some customs. Tour was perfect for a couple of 60 year olds who loved to hike.

Beautiful scenery, not too long and too difficult depending on the season - The hike to the waterfall, which was almost dried up but it’s a toss up, would you rather have tons of mud and a huge waterfall or a little mud and a little waterfall lol absolutely gorgeous either way. Would recommend if you don’t get to go out into the actual island much.

Enjoyable and convenient - Really enjoyable few hours hiking up and then bicycling down. I don't usually join these kinds of group excursions, but it allowed me to easily jump right in to some nature near Honolulu on this my first time to the place and without renting a car. Daniel was an outstanding and enthusiastic guide and leader. The hike was slippery in some spots but indeed it was easy to keep everyone moving at around the same acceptable speed despite different levels of physical ability. Riding in a van up to the summit and then leisurely cycling down as a pack is also not the way I usually roll, but, again, everything was super convenient. I can recommend this experience for persons who are not super serious hikers or who do not go out to hike or bicycle on a regular basis.

Great Tour Guide - Hema was a great tour guide. She explained everything on our way to the hike, on the hike and after the hike. She made us feel like we were apart of her Ohana. Than you so much for spending the day with us.

Great hike but crowded - Our tour guide was lovely and very informative. She took tons of photos for us and was just so delightful. The hike itself was pretty crowded.

Lovely tour - Gorgeous Hike! Beautiful. Our tour guide was sweet, kind, helpful and cautious. She talked WAY too loud (on microphone the entire time in small van) and WAY too much. She did not breathe. It took away some of the enjoyment of the trip. She had a lot of good info just WAY too much of it. No chance to engage and ask questions without interrupting.
