Informative Nature Walk

Posted on: 2015/09/21

The hike was advertised as a "hike" to the bottom of Mount Waialeale. It seemed more like a very bumpy van ride to the start of the walk deep inside the rain forest and more of an informative nature walk/stroll. I expected to see more on this "hike", so we were a little disappointed at how short, easy and unexciting the stroll was, but the only reason I still give it 4 stars was ONLY because our guide, Paul, made the entire trip pleasurable. He's very informative, gave us lots of information and history and he was fun, polite and very enjoyable. The 20 min ride on the unpaved trail was VERY bumpy. When I called, they said it's really not that bad, but it was quite bad. I'm surprised they allow pregnant women on this van ride. Bring LOTS of mosquito repellant and proper water/walking shoes you don't mind to get muddy.
