We had an excellent guide. A safe driver! He knew exactly what to do when the transmission went out. He made sure we were all safe! I loved the knowledge he shared of the valley, people and history.
He was very personable and he made the tour very enjoyable.
My GPS didn't recognize some if the turns but we fumbled our way in!

We had a blast exploring the WOH ranch on our ATVs. Be prepared to get covered in dust but the amazing views make it worth it! Our guides were amazing - making sure the whole group was comfortable and having fun. They shared info about the ranch as well as the island. In addition to being great tour guides they had a lot of great suggestions for places to eat and things to see while on the big island.
Bring a change of clothes and your camera!

It was my first time on a helicopter, and it was exciting. The pilot provided explanations in Japanese, which was helpful. Well, since it was volcanic activity, it couldn't be helped, but I didn't get to see the red lava of Kilauea. Also, it wasn't a landing tour to the waterfall, but I was hoping to see it, so I was a bit disappointed.
ヘリコプターの初搭乗なこともありますが、エキサイティングでした。パイロットさんが日本語でも解説してくれたので、助かりました。まあ、火山活動なので仕方ないですが、キラウエアの赤い溶岩は見られませんでした。あと、滝への着陸ツアーではありませんが、見られると思っていたので少し残念です。
I think it would be better if it were the passenger seat. When someone outside the group rides in the co-pilot seat, their clothing and behavior can affect the comfort and visibility for the people in
やはり助手席だったらと思います。グループ外の人がパイロット助手席に同乗した場合、その人の服装、振る舞いで、後席の人は快適性、外の見易さに影響アリです。ガイダンス通り暗めの服装をして欲しいです。

An unexpected and surprising journey of elves. We are tourists from China, attracted by the original vegetation, wild horses, and clear streams in the valley. The travelogue written upon returning to China has attracted a lot of attention from friends.
Pay attention to the weather forecast and choose sunny days for viewing.

Great experience and insight into Waipi'o. I have hiked it many times but never went back into the valley--well worth it, especially given the circumstances. I am glad our driver has had an authentic experience with the valley; that made a big difference.

Waipio Valley was such a gorgeous find - rich with history and a unique ecological place. Highly recommend! We loved our tour guide, Seanery - so personable and knowledgeable! We were fortunate to have a smaller group in the van, which was a huge plus. :)
The road down is bumpy, but most seniors could probably handle since you mostly stay in the car.

Brett was an excellent tour guide. Funny engaging and informative. It is a long day as the island is rather large. Greenwell Farms (coffee farm) was our first stop. Excellent coffee! Brett explained the growing and harvesting process, followed by tasting and souvenir purchases. Then on to the Punalu'u sweetbread bakery for treats. I lived the Lilikoi flavored pastry. Nice gift shop also. Next stop was Punalu'u black sand beach with a bonus sleeping turtle. Quick provided tasty lunch at a shady state park. Next into Volcano National Park. Brett has fantastic volcano pics. Kilauea was steeming and erupted hours later. Traveled down a large lava tube, very cool. Huge old lava fields. Next on to Rainbow falls and majestic Akaka falls on the East side of the island. On the North end, we visited Waipi'o lookout for sunset. It was along day, but excellent. Strongly recommend. Brett made the trip very enjoyable.
It is a long day, lots to see.

Waipi'o Valley looks very different from above compared to when you actually descend into it. Once you step onto the land, you can feel as if you are in the village from the movie Moana. The guide was very friendly and explained the plants and flowers during the tour. The scent of the vanilla flower that was picked and handed to me lingers in my nose.
ワイピオ渓谷は上から眺めるのと、実際に降りるのとでは、大きくイメージが異なります。
その地に降り立つと、映画:モアナ の村はこんな感じだったのかと、感じることができるでしょう。
ガイドさんはとてもフレンドリーで、ツアー中に草木や花の説明をしてくれます。
摘んで渡してくれたバニラの花の匂いが、鼻の奥に残っています。
I recommend watching the movie "Moana" in advance. I watched it on the plane on my way back and thought, "Ah, I was in this world."

I don't think too many people know about this, but it is an excellent experience. Our driver was a Waipio local who drove us down into the valley - a sacred place in Hawaiian culture - and showed us the beauty, the self-sufficient culture, and the hydroponics. We also got to see horses extremely up close on the way back (this is not guaranteed though). Most of all, I appreciated the commitment to preserving nature and living in harmony with it. Do go and check it out!

This was my second helicopter tour, but it was my first time sitting next to the pilot. The view was wide and I highly recommend it. You can see down very well, so this tour offered great views of the waterfalls and canyons. I think 50 minutes is just the right length.
The pilot was very kind and cheerful. He seemed to be a former military pilot, so his skills were definitely impressive. All the staff were also very friendly. There are many wonderful views on the Big Island that you can't see from a car or land, so I think taking a helicopter tour to see them from the sky is a great experience. I've heard that during periods of volcanic eruptions, reservations fill up quickly and it's hard to get a spot. Definitely give it a try!
ヘリコプターツアーは二度目でしたが、パイロット横の席は初めてでした。視界が広くおすすめです。下の方までよく見えるので、このツアーは滝や渓谷がよく見えました。50分は適当な長さだと思います。
パイロットの方はとても優しくて陽気でした。元軍のパイロットだったらしく、腕は間違いないです。スタッフの皆さんもとても親切でした。ハワイ島は車や陸からでは見られない素晴らしい景色が沢山あるのでヘリコプターツアーで空から見るのは良い経験だと思います。火山が噴火してる期間は予約がいっぱいで取れないとか。是非試して見て下さい。
If you are prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand.
乗り物酔いする人は酔い止めを飲んでおくと良いでしょう。

We got on the van and descended into Waipi'o Valley. At the entrance of the steep slope, the guide offered a prayer before we entered the valley.
There are breathtaking views that are not visible from the observation deck.
I was moved by the guide's love for their hometown.
I think it would be better to do a little research beforehand.

While flying over the vast skies of the Big Island, the lack of changing scenery was a bit disappointing, but I enjoyed the views of Kilauea Volcano and the coastline. I had hoped to see lava around Kilauea Volcano, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.

I was guided to Waipi'o Valley, Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls, and the botanical garden. Since the guide is American, I recommend this for those who understand English.
Entering the falls can feel a bit dangerous due to the many rocks, but having shoes suitable for the ocean and a floatation device can provide peace of mind. I recommend this for those who want to see the waterfalls and nature of the Big Island.
ワイピオ渓谷やアカカ滝、レインボー滝、植物園など案内していただきました。アメリカ人のガイドさんなので、英語がわかる方におすすめします。
滝に入るのは、少し岩が多く危ない感じがしますが、海で履ける靴や浮き輪があると安心です。ハワイ島の滝や自然が見たい方におすすめします。
