Waipio Valley Experience
Reviewed by: Thuvan, 2022/03/05Waipio Valley Wagon Tour is a great way to see and experience the valley. Although the van drive down and up the valley was bumpy, we were glad it wasn't the wagon or hiking on foot because of the long, windy steep hill. We saw the waterfalls from afar (not up close), wild horses, taro fields, streams and river. We were a little disappointed that the tour did not go the black sand beach. Overall the wagon tour is a good way to see the valley below, especially for those who are not experienced in hiking uphill.

Bob is the guy!
Reviewed by: Sherrie , 2020/02/24Trust this experience to someone who knows how to drive and maneuver this very intimidating road down into the valley and back up! Bob is that guy! This narrow, winding, and steep road that serves as the only way in and out is simultaneously occupied by experienced drivers, novice drivers, experienced hikers, novice hikers, and everything in between. Bob was cool as a cucumber every inch of the way. As for the mule and wagon ride, Bob handled the mules with grace and respect and the mules were great hosts. Bob was very informative and knowledgeable about the Valley, its vegetation, its history, and its community’s way of life. We were well pleased and recommend this tour and Bob!

Wonderful experience in Waipio Valley
Reviewed by: Shira, 2018/06/17We had a wonderful experience riding along in this incredible sacred valley. Bob and the mules were a delightful experience. The waterfall was breathtaking and Bob's knowledge of the valley was captivating. So grateful to have chosen this adventure to share with my 7yr old grandson who was equally enthralled to have the experience.

Waipo Valley
Reviewed by: David Wright, 2014/08/08A good experience,our guide Bob was knowledgeable and had a clear understanding of the history of the Valley and the plants that grew there. A steep hill ride down in the 4x4 van was an experience in itself. I would recommend this as a way to explore the deeper valley in a n unusual way.

WOW!
Reviewed by: Vista Jeannie, 2011/08/25This is a fun experience.
The young man/tour guide who was raised in the valley, shared so much knowledge with us; the history, the topography, the flora and the fauna....he was GREAT, and the experience I'm sure would not have been as educational and fun if he were not a part of it.
PLEASE pass on to him just how much we appreciated his commentary......his attention to safety was also noted.

Awesome scenery, great guide!
Reviewed by: Randy and Cyndi, 2009/07/21This very pleasant tour gave us a unique look at some awesome scenery that is hidden away deep in the Waipio Valley. The wagon was surprisingly comfortable, and the mules were photogenic! Even though it rained quite a bit, we didn't get very wet. Our guide was a resident of the valley himself, and his family had lived there for several generations. He was both entertaining and informative. Don't miss this opportunity to see a piece of genuine Hawaii up close!

Wagon tour
Reviewed by: Tony Pratt, 2007/10/26This last August 2007 our family had one of the best times on this wagon ride. Our girls 4, and 8 had the best time and my dad of 80 and mom of 78 said this was the highlight of the whole vacation. The ride is bumpy at times but the wagon has nice padded seats and the wagon has springs on it to make it a better ride. On our trip our guide was great she told us all about the history of the valley, we sucked the nector out of some of the flowers seen wild horses crossed two small streams and seen how the locals still live off the land today in the valley. On out trip the Island was having a drought and all but one waterfall was flowing but dont let this stop you from taking this trip its still beautiful and fun so make sure you book this trip its worth it, we booked afternoon trip and loved it.
