Unforgettable trip to a beautiful place

This tour is wonderful. Waipio Valley is an incredible place, and the tour guide (who grew up in the Valley and lives there still) was phenomenal.

Great insight

Reviewed by: Diane

We had done a tour of Waipio decades ago when it was a horse drawn wagon tour. The van tour we did this year was many times better than that one, and our guide was actually a resident of Waipio and gave a lot of insight into the area.

Waipi'o Valley ワイピオ渓谷

Reviewed by: miki

Four years ago, I visited Waipi'o Valley and took photos from the observation deck. I joined this tour because it allows you to drive down to places that ordinary people can't access! The slope was steeper than I expected, and the driving was very slow and cautious. The guide spoke entirely in English, so I didn't understand anything, but the other foreign guests in the car were laughing and asking questions, so I think it was a good guide. It was fun to drive into the river and cross it; it felt like an attraction!

４年前に来た時は展望台から眺めて写真を撮ったワイピオ渓谷。こちらのツアーでは普通の人が行けない場所まで車で下って行けるとの事で参加しました！
思ってた以上に急斜面で、かなりゆっくり慎重に運転されてました。ガイドは完全に英語でしたので、私は全くわからずでしたが、車内の他の外国人の方は笑ったり質問したりしていたので、良いガイドさんだったと思います^_^河に車で入って横切ったりと、アトラクション的な感じもあったので、楽しかったです！

We’ve been to Waipio Valley several times but have never taken a guide-led tour, and it made a huge difference. The guide was charming, knowledgeable and experienced. We saw parts of the valley that we wouldn’t have been able to in the past, and certainly now that the valley is closed to non-residents. Highly recommend!

My wife and I took this tour with our three young kids. We had a very knowledgeable guide for our tour—Ray. He is a native of Waipo Valley and he had a lot of good information to tell us both about Waipo Valley and Hawaiian history in general. Beyond this, the valley itself is breathtakingly beautiful! All of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Overall, this was an excellent tour!

Descending a steep slope, into the old way of life in Hawaii. 急な坂道を降り、ハワイの古い暮らしの中へ

Reviewed by: ちょこあ

Only authorized vehicles can enter down to the valley, so it's worth going. Basically, you receive explanations while remaining in the car, but it's not an ordinary drive as you cross rivers and navigate steep slopes. This time, I had elderly parents with me, and it was great that we could enjoy the sightseeing without any strain. It's also recommended for those with small children or anyone who may have some concerns about their physical stamina. We went there by rental car, and it was easy to arrive by setting the destination in the GPS.

渓谷の下までは許可された車両しか入れないので行く価値が有ります。基本的には車に乗ったままで説明を受けますが、川を車で渡ったり、急な坂道を登り降りするので普通のドライブではありません。今回は高齢の両親がいたのですが、無理なく観光できたので良かったです。小さなお子さんもそうですが、体力に少し不安のある方はおすすめです。レンタカーで現地に行きましたが、目的地に設定していけば簡単に到着しましたよー

Wild Tour ワイルドツアー

Reviewed by: kikimambo

The meeting point was in a remote area. The view of Waipi'o Valley was amazing, but the directions to the meeting place were a bit unclear. However, I managed to search for the address and arrived just in time for check-in.

This tour takes you to places that are inaccessible to regular travelers, going down a steep slope in a four-wheel drive vehicle and driving through the river—an experience you can't have in Japan. Unfortunately, due to the rain, we could only see part of the waterfall, but I was overwhelmed by the magnificent nature. I created wonderful memories. The local driver was cheerful, and although the entire tour was conducted in English, I hardly noticed it and he treated us kindly, which was great. Thank you very much.

現地集合でしたが、辺境地でした。
ワイピオバレーの景色は最高でしたが、集合場所の案内が少し分かりづらかったですが、住所を検索して、なんとか時間に間に合って、チェックイン。

一般旅行者は通行止めでも、現地の方しか行けないところに入るツアーで、急な下り坂を四輪駆動車で降りて行き、川の中を突き進んで行くとても日本では体験できないツアーでした。
残念ながら滝は雨の為、一部だけしか見られなかったですが、壮大な自然に圧倒されました。
とても最高の思い出ができました。
現地のドライバーさんも陽気で、もちろん終始英語での案内でしたが、ほとんど気にすることなく、優しく接してくださり、良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

Waipi'o Valley sightseeing tour in a windowless four-wheel drive vehicle. ワイピオ渓谷観光ツアー　窓ガラス無しの四輪駆動車

Reviewed by: Ryuuta1gou

I was overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery. The location of the steep entrance in the rugged canyon, along with abundant water sources, is said to have once been the capital. Although it suffered damage from tsunamis twice, it is believed that everyone was safe due to the powerful mana (spiritual power) that protects it. We descended to the valley floor in a four-wheel drive vehicle, crossing four to five small streams. We got off at a riverbed further in to take a break, and it felt like a mysterious and sacred place. My wife wanted to explore on horseback, but due to my weight limit, we had to settle for the four-wheel drive course.

雄大な景色に圧倒されました。切り立った渓谷で急勾配の出入り口の立地、豊富な水源で、かつては首都となっていたそうです。2回、津波による被害を受けましたが、全員無事だったのは、強力なマナ（霊力）によって守られていると信じられています。四輪駆動車で谷底までおり、４～５の小川を渡っていきます。奥の河原で下りて休憩しましたが、神秘的で神聖な場所と感じ取れます。妻は、乗馬で散策するコースを希望していましたが、私の体重制限で断念して、四輪駆動車のコースとなりました。

A must do experience on the big island. The tour guide did a great job of driving the very steep and very bumpy road and explaining the history of the valley. If you get car sick or can't handle a really bumpy ride, you may want to wait til a hiking trail is made. At this time, this is the only way to see the valley. We finished our tour with a Hawaiian lunch at the food truck down the road and a fruit stand. It was a perfect day.

It was almost magical, definitely a fun tour to a place you cannot go on your own. Waipoi valley is like going to a hidden paradise that only a few outsiders get to visit and I feel envigorated that I was one of them. I saw many people in regular vehicles at the view point over looking the valley but only residents and tour groups are allowed to enter the valley and if you request it you can get off the 4x4 van and walk to the beach and catch the next vehicle back for a small fee. Overall I very nice experience.

It was truly a valuable experience to visit Waipi'o Valley, which we couldn't have gone to on our own, and I definitely want to go again.

Since there was only an English tour, it was a bit challenging to interpret for my husband, but it was really a sacred area where we received a lot of energy.

The guide was also very kind, and I would love to participate again.

自分たちでは行けないワイピオ渓谷へ行けたのは本当に貴重な経験で絶対また行きたいです。

英語のツアーしかないので主人への通訳が少し大変でしたがほんとに神聖なエリアでたくさんパワーをもらいました。

Reviewed by: mm

I was able to see about four waterfalls.

The scenery of Waipi'o Valley was also beautiful.

You can walk around the Botanical Garden in about an hour. It’s very worthwhile.

I swam in the waterfall pool. You can borrow a jacket for free, so even if you're not a good swimmer, you can still enjoy it. There is one place to change, but I couldn't use a shower.

Along the way, I was happy to receive water, juice, and snacks!

The guide was very friendly and a good person. Since I can't speak any English at all, I couldn't understand most of the explanations (I was prepared for that), but I think it’s a great tour for those who can understand. You can hear a lot of interesting stories!

I was glad that the weather was nice all day! ☀️

滝は4つくらい見れました。

ワイピオ渓谷の景色も素敵でした。

ボタニカルガーデンは1時間位で一周できます。見応えたっぷりです。

滝壺で泳ぎました。ジャケットが無料で借りれるので泳ぎが下手でも楽しめます。着替えるところ（一つ）はありますが、シャワーは使えませんでした。

道中、お水やジュース、お菓子もいただけるので嬉しかったです！

ガイドさんもとてもフレンドリーで良い人でした。私自身が英語が全くできないので説明がほぼ理解できませんでしたが（覚悟はしてました）理解できる人にとってはとっても良いツアーだと思います。色んな話が聞けます！

一日中天気に恵まれて良かったです☀️
