Have a light breakfast before pick-up since you'll be sampling snacks rather than having a full meal.
Bring a reusable water bottle, some cash for market goodies, and your camera to capture the day.
Wear comfy walking shoes and pack a light jacket. Waimea and Waipio can surprise you with cool breezes.
Bring a small tote or bag. It’s great for picking up treats and souvenirs at the markets and shops.
Let your guide know about any food allergies or preferences when you hop on so they can accommodate your dietary needs.
