Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

My favorite guided tour !

Reviewed by: Nancy V

Forrest was quite knowledgeable and so polite! I'm prone to motion sickness, but did not get nauseous at all in the van. Got to get out and walk along the water, pet and feed horses, and learn all about the history of the beautiful, Hawaiian valley. The gift shop was great, too, with very reasonably priced snacks and ice cream. Wonderful and memorable experience! Mahalo nui loa!

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

The snorkeling tour is fun. シュノーケルツアー 楽しいです

Reviewed by: アキムゲンキ

We were the only Japanese participants. It truly felt like an overseas trip. The guide is also focused on environmental protection, practicing the balance between nature conservation and tourism on the Big Island.

Additionally, they pay attention to the safety of tour participants, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. There were plenty of fish swimming around, and the water clarity was high, making it a fun tour.

Lunch and breakfast were simple but delicious. I would love to participate again when I come back to the Big Island.

日本人の参加は我々のみ。まさに海外旅行です。ガイドは環境保護にも注力しており、ハワイ島の自然保護と観光の両立を実践しています。
また、我々ツアー参加者の危険行為にも注意を払っており、安心して楽しむことができます。魚も沢山泳いでおり、透明度も高く、楽しいツアーでした。
ランチ、朝食も手軽だけど美味しかったです。

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Amazing must do experience!

Reviewed by: Holli

This tour was one of my favorite things we did while on the Big Island! Initially, the plan was to just go to the Waipi'o Valley lookout. I am so glad we ended up deciding to take the tour. You're taken down into the valley (on an extremely steep road) in a 10ish seater van. I get really carsick and had no issues during the tour. Our wonderful guide, Forrest, informed us of the history of the valley and it's people. He was extremely informative and clearly cares so much about the valley and it's history. The views inside the valley were stunning! Do yourself a favor and book this tour.

ハワイ島 ジップライン体験9本 19以上の滝の上を滑走し大自然を満喫!滝での水泳アドベンチャー付き <英語インストラクター>

Thrilling! スリル満点!

Reviewed by: ロッキー

My first zipline experience! There were about ten participants, and at first, we received help from the instructor to put on the necessary gear like harnesses and helmets. After that, we took a van up to the starting point on the hill. Once we arrived, we received a briefing on safety precautions for ziplining and then descended the first zipline over grass to confirm our basic movements. From there, we continued at quite a speed over a valley with three waterfalls and above the river. We took breaks along the way for hydration and fruit, enjoying the thrill of eight ziplines, including the longest one over 600 meters. (Originally there were nine, but the eighth zipline was under maintenance, so we did a total of eight.) The speed and height were a bit scary at first, but by the end, I was able to enjoy the scenery. Some experienced adults and children even went upside down while zipping, having a great time.

初めてのジップライン体験!10人くらいの参加者で、最初はインストラクターに手伝ってもらいながらハーネス?やヘルメットなどの必要な装備を装着。そこからワゴン車に乗って丘の上の方にある出発点に連れられて行かれます。到着したらジップライン滑空時の注意事項などの説明を受け1本目の草地の上のジップラインを下り基本動作を確認。その先は三連滝のある渓谷の上や川の上を結構なスピードで続けて下って行きます。途中で水分補給やフルーツをいただいて休憩も取りつつ最も長いので600mを超える長さのものを含む8本のジップラインを爽快感を味わいながら下りました。(本来9本ながら8番目のジップラインがメンテナンス作業中だったため計8本に)スピード感、高さとも最初はちょっと怖いくらいでしたが、最後の方では景色を楽しむ余裕が出て来ました。慣れている大人や子どもの中には逆さまになって下る人たちもいて楽しんでいました。
