Traveler reviews
Waterfalls and botanical gardens north east island tour
Nice relaxing and enjoyable tour. Stefan was so knowlegable and informative of the island. I learned so much and the scenery where we stopped was so beautiful. Well worth paying for a driver so you can enjoy yourself. Also breaking tour up into specialty area is the way to go. Not rushing around trying to see whole island in one day.
double sister vacation
We had a great time our driver and guide was a lot of fun and knowledgable of Hawaiian topics. I would recommend this tour. Lots of fun. Weather didn’t cooperate to well so a few of us declined the waterfall swim (rain/muddy).
Great waterfall tour
Stefan was our guide for this tour. He was very knowledgeable and informative. He prepared us for each site visit on the tour. Very relaxing. Some of the hikes were slightly rugged for myself and my wife in our seventies and having had knee replacement surgeries a few years ago. No problems on the tour. The waterfalls were beautiful. He rearranged our private tour of 7 people including 1 year old and 3 year old grandsons, due to scattered rain the island was experiencing on that day. I highly recommend the private tour and our guide Stefan
A core memory
Wow! Don’t doubt - book now! Stefan was such a cool guide. We learned so much about the island. It was so nice to just sit back, enjoy the views, and take everything in without having to worry about driving, parking, and passes. We will remember this adventure forever. Swimming in the waterfall will be a core memory.
Derrick is the best!
Derrick is absolutely AMAZING! Not only was he very cheerful and pleasant as a tour guide, but he offered so much interesting information and small anecdotes. But what I appreciate the most was that I left behind some belongings that were very valuable to me and he went out of his way after a full day long tour to drive back to my hotel and give them back to me. I highly recommend this Tour and Derrick to anybody interested in chasing waterfalls in Hawaii. P.S Please remember to tip your tour guides, if they are anything like Derrick then they deserve a hug too! - C.
