Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley
Wonderful guided tour
Reviewed by: Paul H
Although this is now the only way that you can visit the Waipio Valley it is so worth taking the guided tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and culture of the valley, and shared loads of local insights and stories which made this one of the best tours we have ever experienced

Waipio Valley Tour
Reviewed by: JPA
We’ve been to Waipio Valley several times but have never taken a guide-led tour, and it made a huge difference. The guide was charming, knowledgeable and experienced. We saw parts of the valley that we wouldn’t have been able to in the past, and certainly now that the valley is closed to non-residents. Highly recommend!

Very informative tour
Reviewed by: Ateet Shah
My wife and I took this tour with our three young kids. We had a very knowledgeable guide for our tour—Ray. He is a native of Waipo Valley and he had a lot of good information to tell us both about Waipo Valley and Hawaiian history in general. Beyond this, the valley itself is breathtakingly beautiful! All of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour.
Overall, this was an excellent tour!

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley
Beautiful views!
Reviewed by: EB
A must do experience on the big island. The tour guide did a great job of driving the very steep and very bumpy road and explaining the history of the valley. If you get car sick or can't handle a really bumpy ride, you may want to wait til a hiking trail is made. At this time, this is the only way to see the valley. We finished our tour with a Hawaiian lunch at the food truck down the road and a fruit stand. It was a perfect day.

Second tour and still amazing
Reviewed by: Leah
Took this tour 6 years ago and had the most amazing experience. So I had to do it again. This tour offers the best of Big Island because you get to see Akaka Falls and Rainbow Falls. We saw lots of turtles at black sand beach and an actual rainbow at Rainbow Falls! Our guide Brent was very informative and helpful.

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley
There and back again!
Reviewed by: Robert S.
It was almost magical, definitely a fun tour to a place you cannot go on your own. Waipoi valley is like going to a hidden paradise that only a few outsiders get to visit and I feel envigorated that I was one of them. I saw many people in regular vehicles at the view point over looking the valley but only residents and tour groups are allowed to enter the valley and if you request it you can get off the 4x4 van and walk to the beach and catch the next vehicle back for a small fee. Overall I very nice experience.

Drew's the best!
Reviewed by: Tricia
The six if us had a great time with Drew who kept us entertained while ensuring we understood the historical and cultural importance of many of the sites we visited. The dad jokes were appreciated over the course of the day travelling from Kona to Hilo and points in-between. The consensus highlight was the swim in the waterfall pool. Even the weather cooperated. Fabulous day! Mahalo Drew!

Incredible tour but our Tour guide, Anson really brought the island and the tour to life. Honestly enjoyed the tour to the max but we would pay to just hang out with Anson again. Lol. I'm sure all the guides are great and extremely courteous.
All the jokes we made he would rebuttal and be involved all while still maintaining his poise and professionalism. It's the little things guys and this tour has it all. Thank you From the bottom of our hearts.

楽しかった!
Reviewed by: Hawaiiあいす
あいにくの雨で、どうなる事かと心配しましたが、いざ馬に乗る時になったら雨もやみ、ちょうど良いお天気に！気温が低めだったので、半袖の上にウインドブレーカーを着ても暑くなかったです。どの馬もおとなしく、下の子（9）も楽しく乗れました。 途中でガイドさんが採ったグァバを食べました！美味しかったです。とても楽しいガイドさんで、冗談を言ったり丁寧にアドバイスしてくれたりで良かったです。 渓谷に降りる道はものすごい急でちょっと肝が冷えましたが、ガイドさんの運転は慣れたものでした! 最後にガイドさんがそれぞれの写真を撮ってくれました!
