Beautiful Wiapio Valley

Reviewed by: S Munkelt

Excellent tour of a nearly inaccessible and uniquely beautiful part of the Big Island. Our guide filled in historical notes - this was the first location for settlement on Hawaii nearly 2,000 years ago - an identified loacal vegetation and agricultural factors.

ハワイ島エコアドベンチャーツアー ワイピオ渓谷展望台からの眺めやボタニカルガーデン、穴場スポットでの滝つぼ遊びも!<1日/昼食・スナック付き/英語ガイド>

Tour of waterfalls in the northern part of Hawaii Island. ハワイ島北部の滝を巡るツアー

Reviewed by: RygerSeven

We departed the hotel after 8 AM and enjoyed the view of Waipi'o Valley from the Waipi'o Valley Lookout. After that, we visited Akaka Falls and had lunch at the Botanical Garden, staying for about an hour before heading to a waterfall located on the grounds of a certain hotel. We parked the minivan on the hotel property and changed in the separate changing rooms for men and women, which I found to be quite clean. We borrowed life jackets and made our way down to the base of the waterfall to swim. It felt cold at first, but once I got used to it, it was pleasant. We were advised not to get too close to where the water falls due to falling rocks, but we could swim freely elsewhere. We swam for about an hour. After that, we went to Rainbow Falls near Hilo to enjoy the view. We returned to Waikoloa via Saddle Road around 5 PM. I don't think there will be any particular issues even if you don't understand English.

八時過ぎホテルを出発し、ワイピオ渓谷展望台からワイピオ渓谷を眺める。それからアカカ滝を見て、ボタニカルガーデンでお弁当。一時間ほど滞在してから、とあるホテルの敷地にある滝に行く。ホテルの敷地にミニバンを停める。そこにある男女別の更衣室で順番に着替える。割と清潔感があると思った。ライフ邪見っとを借りて、滝つぼまで下りていき滝つぼで泳いだ。最初冷たく感じたがなれると気持ちいい。滝が落ちるところは岩が落ちてくるといけないので近づかないように言われたがほかは自由に泳げた。一時間程度泳ぐ。それからヒロ近くのレインボー滝にいく。滝を眺める。サドルロードを通ってワイコロアに戻る。夕方五時過ぎ。英語が分からなくても特に困らないと思う。

Absolute must do this tour.

Reviewed by: Craig utsman

Waipio valley is magical. Our guide Keleo was so knowledgeable and you could feel his passion for his land. I lived in Maui. Visited 4 different islands. And I can say. This place you do not want to miss. I feel like I learned more on this tour than any tour I have ever done in all my travels. Even my 13 year old said it was amazing

Unforgettable Waipio Valley Tour: A Must-Do Experience for Families

Reviewed by: Kate

My family, including two teenagers, agreed this was an amazing tour and a must experience. Our guide, Kaleo, a resident of the valley, was funny and knowledgeable about the history, legends, and way of life for the current residents of the Waipio Valley. We saw wild horses, birds, waterfalls, and stunning views. We also enjoyed our time at Waipio Valley Artworks while we waited for our check-in. Customer service was also great. We needed to change our time for our tour, and because there was room on the earlier shuttle, they were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour on the Big Island.

ワイピオ渓谷観光ツアー 窓ガラス無しの四輪駆動車で遮るもののない壮大な景色を堪能!約366メートル滝やタロイモ水田など写真スポット多数<1.5時間/英語ガイド>

Witnessing the majestic canyon 雄大な渓谷を目の当たりに

Reviewed by: うさぎ

After gathering at the designated store, we all got into a jeep and headed to the location. Waipi'o Valley can only be accessed by those recognized by the country, so tourists must join a tour to visit (although it can be viewed from the observation deck).

During the tour, we crossed rivers in the jeep, received explanations about the plants, and sometimes stopped to observe wildlife, allowing us to have various experiences. While Hawaii is strongly associated with the ocean, this trip made me realize that there are jungles like this as well.

指定のお店に集合した後、みんなでジープに乗って、現地に向かいます。
ワイピオ渓谷は、国で認められた人しか立ち入るかとができないので、旅行客はツアーに参加しないと行くことができません(展望台から見ることはできます)。

ツアー中は、ジープで川を渡ったたり、植物の説明を受けたり、時には立ち止まって、野性動物を見たり、と様々な経験をさせてもらいました。海のイメージが強いハワイですが、このようなジャングルもあるのだと感じることができる旅でした。

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley

Montgomery Adventure of a Lifetime!

Reviewed by: Montgomery Trip

This shuttle tour is absolutely amazing!! Our guide, Kaleo, was extremely, knowledgeable, courteous and funny! He and his family live in the Waipio Valley and his pride of the history of this historic place shines through! In the beginning of the tour he stops at the Sacred Rock and prayed in his native language for our safety. The ride is very steep and very rocky. Along the way, he stopped the vehicle and lucked chameleon off a bush and allowed each of us to hold it. What a treat! At the bottom of the valley we saw wild Spanish horses, Belladonna flowers, Sleeping Hibiscus and Kaleo explained the history of the Taro plants It was like stepping into Jurassic Park. We saw the most magnificent Hehelava Falls and the Kohala cliffs. We road through rivers also. This tour was one of our best adventures of our trip and one of our favorite memories. We felt very safe with Kaleo as he lives in the valley and travels the road daily. Mahalo Safari Shuttle Tours and A Hui Hou!

  • We found Paskal!

  • So beautiful!

  • Our wonderful guide and our blessed family!

  • Right out of Jurassic Park!

  • Gorgeous Helava Falls

Amazing experience and breathtaking scenery

Reviewed by: Jody

This was an amazing experience taking us deep into the Waipio Valley. This shuttle is almost the only way to explore the Waipio Valley, which is something NOT to be missed in touring the Big Island of Hawaii.

Our driver (unfortunately forgot his name; were on the 1st morning tour on 5/9/24) was extremely proficient in navigating the exceedingly steep terrain and making us feel safe and calm. He pointed out areas of interest, and made frequent stops for us to get out of the van and take pictures.

We highly recommend this tour!

Awesome and upclose venture into Waipio Valley

Reviewed by: Lenni

We were impressed by the tour guides knowledge of the Valley and the breathtaking beauty of an unspoiled and barely populated part of the island. We saw wild Mustangs, countless birds, streams and experienced seeing the valley upclose. Just seeing the valley from a lookout point doesn’t compare to going down into the valley. Don’t miss out on this shuttle experience, it will leave you impressed!

Mystical & Adventure 神秘的&冒険

Reviewed by: ヨッキ

When you descend into the gorge, you feel a mystical sensation. Even now, there are people living in the gorge, creating an indescribable atmosphere. From a Japanese perspective, you can feel the presence of gods in the river, mountains, and land. When I shared this with the guide, they said, "This is a special place." There was no Japanese guide available, so I couldn't understand the detailed explanations, but I enjoyed it enough. The quiet atmosphere brings a sense of calm, allowing you to become one with nature and the gods.

溪谷に降りると、神秘的な感覚を覚えます。今も、溪谷で暮らしている方々もいらっしゃって、何とも言えない雰囲気です。
日本人感覚としては、川、山、土地に、神様が居るのを感じます。
ガイドさんに、それを伝えると、「ここは、特別な場所。」と
日本語ガイド無いので、細かい説明は、分かりませんでしたが、充分楽しめます。
静かな雰囲気が、落ちつき、自然と神様達と一体になれます。

Our guide, who was born & raised in the valley and still lives there, was amazing. We learned a lot about the day-to-day lives and history of the people in the valley. He was so friendly, welcoming & willing to answer any and all questions. He pointed out local birds & stopped to grab & show us a chameleon from a tree & paused again when a group of wild horses joined on the road. Also, the parking & check-in process were super easy plus the shop had bathrooms, several cute gift options and snacks/coffee available for purchase.

Fantastic Tour Into A Most Special Valley

Reviewed by: Volcam

My wife and I were treated to a magnificent drive down the unusually steep road into Waipio Valley in the early afternoon of Thursday, 4/18/24. Our tour guide Kaleo is a great young man who has lived in this unique place for most of his life; he grew up here. Kaleo was friendly, very knowledgeable, and very hospitable. He led us to several spectacular sites including waterfalls, lush foliage, and flowing streams. One could readily sense the tremendous power and majesty of this valley. We will treasure the opportunity we had to visit here. Our tour was for 1.75 hours. We HIGHLY recommend taking time to experience this great tour!
