Our guides, Willy and Eric, were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Eric took the time to point out a million different peculiarities of the Hawaiian landscape and Willy was very funny and entertaining. The two of them are a great team.
The sights on the volacano were amazing and my wife and I took tons of pictures. We never felt rushed and enjoyed it thoroughly.
The food was very well prepared and quite delicious. My wife and I ate the turkey club sandwich and were impressed when we received a gourmet sandwich, not some week old mystery meat thing.
I would highly recommend this event not only because of the beautiful sights, but also because of the best service one could ask for.

渓谷の下を行くとなると、体力に自信ない人はこのようなツアーでしか行けない。上からみる渓谷と実際行ってみると、違うことに驚きます。参加したときは、折角の絶景ポイントの滝に迫力がなく、主に植物の話がほとんどでした。私自信が植物等に興味がなかったので・・・。その日最後のツアーだったため、馬車から馬を厩舎へと片付けの時間待たされてしまったのでちょっと予定が狂いましたが・・・。待っている間、とても人なっつこい他の馬が寄ってきてくれたのは嬉しかった。おりこうさんでかわいかったです。

Great transportation, very knowledgeable guides/drivers, wonderful "star gazing," well prepared food (too much for one person to eat at one meal!) with stainless steel table service, warm parkas and gloves provided. Recommend wearing jeans, sneakers and socks, and perhaps a light jacket to wear under the parka. Understand that it will be cold at these altitudes and be wary of altitude sickness if you are normally near sea level. Be well rested when you go and altitude shouldn't be a problem since a couple of rests (and restroom stops) as you ascend are provided. On the ride back after excellent stargazing and a hot drink and cookie, really nice and varied selections of music were played! I've never seen such wonderful sky views! Hope to come again and bring grandchildren!

I am so happy that we found this tour since it was by far the best experience me and my family had while on vacation on the Big Island. The zipline experience itself was amazing, but to be able to see such a beautiful garden as well just took it over the top.
Totally recommend this tour and can't wait to go back to Hawaii and do this again!

I would not recommend this activity unless you've already done most everything else on this island. Everyone we talked to after getting back was dis-appointed. It sure isn't what I thought. First the transportation isn't very convenient. Getting to and from the pick up points should be improved. Next on the way up the mountain we stopped at a gift/visitor shop. Thats where we had a cardboard box dinner in the van. Someone else said bring a sandwich. I also recomend that. Going on up the hill. The observatories we only got to see from the outside, and was just told about them. We did watch a nice sunset at 13,780 feet of elevation. It was a nice view although I like the sunsets over the beach better. After the sun went down we left and went down to about 7000 feet elevation and they set up 11inch Celestron telescopes. Nice telescopes, i have a friend who has one. We saw several stars and clusters ect. Beautiful clear sky. Chitchen-Itza ruins in Mexico was just a clear a

Captain and crew surely cannot be faulted for the fish not biting. They did their best to navigate us into waters where fish were known to be biting in the past, but with the big beautiful Humpback Whales roaming the seas the odds were against them. It would have been nice if at least one of them was a bit more communicative and share with us some local knowledge, but they kept to themselves. I know that is not their job, but it would have added some color to the day.

The tour was excellent and the guide had a lot of passion for what he does, so it was kind of contagious. He told us a lot of interesting stories making the trip very entertain. Dinner was very good and they provide us with coats and globes which we really needed. Then we had a second stop to explain to us about the telescopes and what is being measured. Finally we arrived at the top. I must admit I got very sick, but the guide had warned us that it could happen and recommended to sit on the floor. That is exactly what I did. I didn’t like the feeling at all, but I saw the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen so it was worth the bad 5 minutes feeling LOL but I wouldn’t recommend it to people with heart problems. After the breath taking view we went down and watch the starts through a telescope. The guide explained a lot of things I didn’t know. I am not very knowledgeable about astronomy but I really learned a lot and enjoy the time. I will definitely recommend it as a must see

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.

2009/11/4に友人と参加しました。私たちは、ワイピオ渓谷の底に降りたり、滝を間近に見たり、海岸線へ出たいなーと思っていたのですが、このツアーは馬車でゆっくり谷底を回る程度で、写真撮影にための途中降車もなく、ちょっと期待外れでした。シャトルで巡るツアーは、奥まで進んでいったので、同じ料金ならシャトルの方が良かったかも。でも、お馬さんや追走するワンコ2匹はとても可愛いいし、川をザブザブ突き進むところは、ちょっとしたアトラクションぽくて面白いですよ。お子さんがいるグループにはいいかもしれません。

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.

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.

I really enjoyed this trip and it was well worth it. We toured the park on bike and enjoyed the beautiful day. The ride was not too difficult for those who aren't in the best of shape like myself. The staff is prepared for rain and also provide snacks and water to keep you refreshed. The only thing I wasn't happy about was that we did not go to *closely* see where the lava hits the ocean; however, it would have been another 16 miles round-trip, so I can understand :). Guide did recommend where we could go park and see it later that evening. All in all it was a great trip with awesome guides!

The views were amazing and we would have missed so many of them if we had not taken the bike ride! I highly recommend the trip and I hope you have the same guides. They truely made the trip more than a bike ride! Have fun, I did!!!

英語のツアーだったため、私の英語力ではガイドさんの話は50%くらいしか理解できませんでしたが、それでも十分、みる価値のある星空でした。あんなにはっきり太く天の川を観たのは生まれて初めてです。すごく寒いと予想していて、貸してくれる防寒具はフード付のジャケットと手袋だけと聞いていましたので、下半身の防寒具を自分で持って行っていたので助かりましたが、ジーンズなどで参加していたら、日本人では寒すぎて辛いんじゃないかと思います。(欧米の方はみなさん薄着ですよね。。。)マフラーも持っていけば良かったです。
ツアー自体は車に乗っていれば山頂まで連れていってくれるしレーザーポインターを使って星の説明もしてくれるので、英語がちょっとわかって、山頂で星をみることが目的ならば十分に楽しめると思います。
ちなみに、日本では9月の大型連休中だったにも関わらず、約30名車2台のツアー参加者のうち、日本人は私達二人だけでした。一応、最初の免責説明の署名用紙などは日本語の物がありましたが、他は全て英語での対応です。

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.

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.

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!

昨年、事故が起きてけが人が出て保険にも入ってなかったので問題になったと聞いておりましが、今回経営者も変わり保険にも
入り安全面にも配慮して点検も毎日行ってるのとことで
申し込みました。
ホテルへのピックアップがないためツアー会社の事務所までレンタカーで行きました。
事務所と言うより山小屋、わき道に入るため目印の看板を見逃さないように行くのが大変でした。
ハワイ島初めての方はタクシーで行った方が良いかもしれません。
受付後車でワイピオ渓谷に降ります、斜度25度以上迫力あります
馬車の置いてある場所につきました、馬車は、古く、乗りごこちよくありません
ガタガタ道ですし、馬車自体古いので少々怖いかも
ガイドさんは、英語のみで、切れ目なく話し始めます
私は、英語が分からないため英語の分かる妻が通訳しようとしますが、切れ目のないトークのため
あとで要所要所の話聞きました、
話の内容は、植物の話とワイピオの歴史などだったようです。
川を渡る所は、なかなか迫力ありました。
日本人向けには、説明の内容をプリントで配ればよいのでは?と思ったのと、
出来れば、森の中だけではなく海岸にも出てくれれば満点だったのですが、それでもある程度楽しめました。
総合評価、期待道理、英語がある程度わかり植物の好きな方にお勧めです、景色と川を渡る所もお勧めですね。

ハワイ島の自然をのんびり楽しみたい方、都会の喧騒に疲れた方はお勧めです。
四駆で下まで降りた後、馬車に乗り換え、のんびりと自然を堪能します。可愛い犬が先導してくれます。途中、川を渡ったりとそれなりに楽しめます。
ただ、やはりレンタカーで行くのに
「ホノカアからハイウェイ240に入りワイピオ展望台 (Waipio Lookout)に向かってください。ハイウェイ240を進み、約7.5マイルほど進み、道路左手に7mileと記載された標識の場所。WOH RANCHでお待ちください。スタッフがお迎えに参ります」←この説明では難しいです。
実際は「7mileと記載された標識」は有りません。
「WOH RANCH」の看板が有るだけです。
240を走って約7.5マイル付近、道路左手に有る「WOHRANCH」の看板の脇を中に入って約100メートル先に小屋が有る所が集合場所です。仮設トイレも有ります。
ハイウェイ240沿いで待っていた為、危うく遅刻する所でした。
朝一のオプションの為、帰りには、ヒロの街、Big Island CandiesやCAFE100等いくつか巡りワイコロアへ。ヒロからワイコロアへは約1.5時間でした。お勧めのコースです。
