Good tour but too short
Reviewed by: Lori, 2019/12/19The mule ride was really short and could have been done with an extra 15 minutes in the van. We thought we’d see more of the valley. The best views were from the view point that we went to before the tour

Okay, not great
Reviewed by: Fred Andrews, 2017/02/14It was okay but not great. It really amounted to a van ride down the steep hill, after which the mules took over. The explanations were pleasant. We were disappointed that we did not take the track to the ocean. Maybe we should have booked a horse ride.

Waipio Valley Option
Reviewed by: Joan, 2016/08/22I have wanted to experience Waipio Valley since I moved here three years ago and so was looking forward to this trip that one of my friends found online and organized. It was fine. We three were surprised that the tour on the wagon was as short as it was. The gal driver was great in her enthusiasm and information. I would have thought we would have seen more and spent more time in the valley. If you do not want to walk up or down (which we were very glad we did not have to do), then this trip is an option since they take you down and up in a van. The van was older without AC and the driver left the sliding door open for air. Not sure I would want to get back in that vehicle since great brakes are the most important feature and I did not have confidence that this was that up-to-date.

Wagon Tour
Reviewed by: Beverly , 2013/03/06With few options to actually descend into the valley, this was a pretty good one. The guide/driver was knowledgable and friendly. The kids, 2 & 6, had a very good time. We were visited by some of the wild horses, which was exciting for everyone. The only improvement I can think of would be is the route were a loop and not just "down the road and back."

This is a very short ride
Reviewed by: Mead Family, 2012/08/16The ride down into the valley in the 4x4 van was quite beautiful and thrilling on the one lane road which is very steep. The wagon ride itself was very short and leaves you thinking was that it for the money?
If you are traveling with the young or the old you will not be able to go into this valley any other way as I would not recommend you drive there yourself even in a 4x4. The only other way in is to walk and it is very steep walk.

Warm Aloha Joan,
Thank you once again for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are currently verifying with the activity provider as to whether the door remains open during the ride down the valley. We will get back to you as soon as we hear back from them.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
