Wet Walking Waterfall Tour - You're going to get wet! Trail is slightly difficult and the provided walking sticks were very handy. The final waterfall was worth the hike. Loved our driver who gave good info about the island and surrounding areas. Very personable!

Beautiful rain forest - Walking sticks were great. Time at the falls was perfect. It was muddy and rained off and on which was expected. Pick up and drop off was great.

Beautiful rainforest walk to falls - The home was tranquil and beautiful. I would definitely sign up for the early hike (7am), got to walk without crowds and could enjoy the bird chatter in the canopy. I would also wear comfortable walking shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy.

Will tour with Kaimana again - I am so glad I booked this. It was a great little change up from the beach. It was so beautiful and quiet in this lush rainforest setting. I was a little worried about ability as we aren’t avid hikers. It was easy enough to enjoy, but still a nice little workout. Matt was an awesome driver and it was great having him share information about the area as well as hearing some of his personal stories, and lots of dad jokes. I liked that it wasn’t a guided tour on the hike itself and we could explore and take in the area at our own pace.

Authentic hawaii - Just a reminder that it is all up hill with very uneven stones to climb. Bring a walking stick to help. We are older and take ur time. Nature was wonderful with a cockatiel laughing like a person in the trees at trail beginning! Falls are worth it.

I’d skip this one or DIY it - This experience is literally just a ride to the waterfalls, an hour long hike then a ride back. I don’t personally feel it was worth the $50 per person price tag. I don’t believe there’s an admission fee to get into the entry point either so you could easily drive yourself and pay the parking fee or take a taxi instead. The hike itself was moderate, mostly easy but some areas “difficult” because it’s so slippery. The terrain is entirely river rocks, it rained the morning of our hike so lots of mud and slippery rocks. Highly recommend shoes but hiking boots not super necessary. It’s about 45 minutes up due to the incline then about 30 minutes down. A hiking stick was given to us but it’s not necessary if you’re able bodied. The waterfall itself is a bit underwhelming a very thin but tall waterfall. The driver was informative and entertaining so that helps increase the value of what we paid.
