ワイピオ渓谷 ワゴンツアー 小さなお子様から年配の方もゆったり楽しめる <午前・午後/英語ガイド/貸切あり>

ゆらゆら揺れました!!面白かったーーー♪

Reviewed by: ふわもこ☆

天気にも恵まれ、初めてのワイピオ渓谷のツアーに参加しました。
4WDの車に乗り、馬車に乗るまでの道のりは何かアトラクションのように急な細いくねくね曲がった坂道を降りていき、とても楽しかったです。またツアーガイドの説明で、ワイピオの歴史にも触れることもできました。

車を降りて少ししてから、馬車に乗り込みました。するとすぐに、車では進めない川を渡ったのは馬車ならではの迫力が圧巻でした。馬車のまた少し激しい揺れを感じながら、お花や植物の説明を聞き進んでいきました。こども二人(6歳と2歳)と一緒でしたが、怖がることもなく楽しそうでした。ただ揺れが結構あるので大人が隣で座って見ていたほうが安心だと思います。

とにかく景色がきれいで、カメラは忘れずに持参することをお勧めします。ちなみに私達は、ホテルに忘れてしまい残念でした。

又次、機会があれば参加したいツアーとなりました。

Wagons ho!

Reviewed by: hotgpa

What a wonderful way to experience this unique area of the island. Bob was a great guide and the views were spectacular, the only clear view of the tallest waterfall on the Island. I wish a trip to the black sand beach had been part of the experience.

Hamakua ATV Ranch Ride

Great ride

Reviewed by: ARV Enthusiast

This was a great trip on a 600 acre cattle ranch that runs from the ocean up to the mountains. A nice diverse ride through trees and down to the ocean. It was a great private ride just with my family and two guides.

This is a very short ride

Reviewed by: Mead Family

The ride down into the valley in the 4x4 van was quite beautiful and thrilling on the one lane road which is very steep. The wagon ride itself was very short and leaves you thinking was that it for the money?

If you are traveling with the young or the old you will not be able to go into this valley any other way as I would not recommend you drive there yourself even in a 4x4. The only other way in is to walk and it is very steep walk.

Best Tours on the Big Island

Reviewed by: Gene From Texas

This is one of the best tours on the big island. I did not have high expectations before the tour. I thought it would be a just a ride through the valley. It was way more than that. The ride in the van just to get down to the valley is something else. The guide was excellent having lived his whole life in the valley. It is a very educational tour.

great horse ride!

Reviewed by: Joe

Hilarious guide that made it even more fun, outstanding scenery, horses not old nags, good riders......This ride comes highly recommended.....even got to see wild fruit trees. This is a one of a kind trip well worth the value! Definitely one of the best parts of my vacation! Don't forget to try the ice cream at the store where the trip starts when you get back....delicous.

Nice Trip

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We have been down to Waipi'o before, but the rest of the group had never been there. The children thoroughly enjoyed it. The driver/guide was well informed, though somewhat unenthusiastic, but I can only imagine how many times he has repeated the same litany. The trip seemed rather short, considering the cost. It would be nice if it could traverse a loop rather than down the road and back. We were visited by a small group of the Wiapi'o wild horses, which was exciting for all of us. With few ways to actually visit the valley, this was a nice one.

Waipio Valley - a joy to see.

Reviewed by: Fred

Seven or 8 years ago my wife and I enjoyed a wagon ride through the Waipio Valley. Our daughter and her family were on The Big Island with us this year and we thought they would enjoy the same. Well this trip ventured further into the valley, had a very informed driver, and exceeded our previous trip by far. We would recommend it to other families to enjoy a visit to this unique valley in this manner.

Reviewed by: Vista Jeannie

This 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.

Great Ride thru Beautiful Valley

Reviewed by: Karen&Amy

A van takes you down to the valley floor where you are introduced to your horses. The ride takes you thru beautiful vegetation (mangos, avacados, bananas, taro and amazing flowers). You cross thru streams and see waterfalls streaming down into the valley. The riding itself is not very exciting. The horses walk at a leisurely pace. However the views are so worth it!

We loved our guides

Reviewed by: Hunter

Keone we think and Jay were wonderful guides and added greatly to the beautiful experience of riding in Waipio Valley. Their friendlyness and helpfullness really made the ride from great to an amazing experience. It was fun to ride through water and learn about the valley. I would recommend it to anyone interested in horseback riding. The horses were easy to ride but also had some personality which is always fun and the guides did a good job of teaching the basics and what to do to stay safe.

Awesome scenery, great guide!

Reviewed by: Randy and Cyndi

This 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!

See the real Hawaii

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This trip is recommended if you can't hike into Waipio or ride on horseback to see. We had a family with two small children visiting, so this was a perfect way for our guests to see and understand some of Hawaii -- botanically, geologically, culturally -- authentically. This trip is for people who want to get off of the beaten path and are genuinely interested in hearing native Hawaiians discuss their culture and their land.

A Lot of fun & Beautiful views

Reviewed by: Bill

While the shear beauty of the valley is worth the trip out to Waipio, our guide made the day a special one. He was funny, knowledgeable and a pretty good photographer. We brought home some great memories and the pictures to keep them fresh. The ride was pretty tame, which was fine for us. The horses were gentle and the pace was leisurely and relaxing.

Wagon ride could be a little longer

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

For the money we payed there should have been less time getting the mule ready when we got to the bottom they should of been ready to go. The wagon trip was very informative but for the money we paid it wasn't long enough. The trip down the hill was very good. Over all I liked the whole experience. Just needed the wagon part to be longer.

Expected more

Reviewed by: Cali Girl

After reading about how wonderful the Waipio Valley Ride was, I was excited to go. I have shown horses for over 20 years and know my way around a horse. When we arrived at the stables, and, yes, the road into the valley was an experience to be had, I was very disappointed in the quality of the horses. I over heard one worker state that most of the horses were lame.

The ride itself was peaceful and the scenery was beautiful. The guide took us on public roads and down a short stream; the actual ride was about 1 1/2 hours long. My horse was pleasant to ride and knew his job.

The guides were okay but spent a great deal of time talking with locals or riding off on their own. Several times very inexperienced riders were left by themselves and seemed very uncomfortable; I would not be surprised if their experience was not a good one. I am glad nothing bad happened but it easily could have.

I would do this activity again but probably with another operator.

Horse back riding

Reviewed by: al

It was fun and the staff was great! I rate an overall 5 star but I think the horse back route could be a little more interesting if we had gone in a circle instead of taking the left route then turn back the same way and then take the right route and then turn back to get back and that would complete the journey. But don't get me wrong, the ride was exciting and very entertaining!
