The site for the luau was gorgeous. The food was excellent. We couldn't see the show at all because we were in the back and had kids , although none of us could see it. We left early. We haven't gotten our pictures because we didn't get a chance to do it quick enough. The old method of bringing to the guests was better.

This shuttle tour is absolutely amazing!! Our guide, Kaleo, was extremely, knowledgeable, courteous and funny! He and his family live in the Waipio Valley and his pride of the history of this historic place shines through! In the beginning of the tour he stops at the Sacred Rock and prayed in his native language for our safety. The ride is very steep and very rocky. Along the way, he stopped the vehicle and lucked chameleon off a bush and allowed each of us to hold it. What a treat! At the bottom of the valley we saw wild Spanish horses, Belladonna flowers, Sleeping Hibiscus and Kaleo explained the history of the Taro plants It was like stepping into Jurassic Park. We saw the most magnificent Hehelava Falls and the Kohala cliffs. We road through rivers also. This tour was one of our best adventures of our trip and one of our favorite memories. We felt very safe with Kaleo as he lives in the valley and travels the road daily. Mahalo Safari Shuttle Tours and A Hui Hou!

This was an amazing experience taking us deep into the Waipio Valley. This shuttle is almost the only way to explore the Waipio Valley, which is something NOT to be missed in touring the Big Island of Hawaii.
Our driver (unfortunately forgot his name; were on the 1st morning tour on 5/9/24) was extremely proficient in navigating the exceedingly steep terrain and making us feel safe and calm. He pointed out areas of interest, and made frequent stops for us to get out of the van and take pictures.
We highly recommend this tour!

食べながら見るという感じですが食べ物、飲み物の種類と量もちょうど良い感じです。
Alii Seatだと優先的に入れてブッフェも先に取れるし飲み物もテーブル担当の方が直ぐに聞いて持って来てくれます。
ショーは派手さはないですけど飲み食いしながら気楽に楽しめる感じです。
英語がわからなければ雰囲気で楽しむしかないですけど。

We were impressed by the tour guides knowledge of the Valley and the breathtaking beauty of an unspoiled and barely populated part of the island. We saw wild Mustangs, countless birds, streams and experienced seeing the valley upclose. Just seeing the valley from a lookout point doesn’t compare to going down into the valley. Don’t miss out on this shuttle experience, it will leave you impressed!

時期的にあちこちで出現しますので、船の全方向で見ることが出来ました。
途中、マイクを海中に沈め、クジラの鳴き声も聞かせてくれます。
子鯨が頻繁にジャンプしますので、大体あの辺にいそう、というのを見極めてスタンバイしてるとジャンプなど見れます
ただ、安全のため一定の距離は取っているので比較的遠くでしか見ることはできません
望遠鏡などあると良いと思います。私は10倍のものですが、持参してよく見ることが出来ました。
船の乗船は砂浜から小さなボートにのり、少し沖にある船に乗り換えます。
ビーサン、裸足がオススメです。
船ではドリンク(缶ジュースか、マイタイ)、スナック(チップス)がもらえます。
船上は日除無いので日焼け対策はしっかりしましょう。
船内もそんなに広く無いので荷物は最小限にした方がいいです。
みなさんスマホ以外ほぼ手ぶらでした。

Our guide, who was born & raised in the valley and still lives there, was amazing. We learned a lot about the day-to-day lives and history of the people in the valley. He was so friendly, welcoming & willing to answer any and all questions. He pointed out local birds & stopped to grab & show us a chameleon from a tree & paused again when a group of wild horses joined on the road. Also, the parking & check-in process were super easy plus the shop had bathrooms, several cute gift options and snacks/coffee available for purchase.

It was nice. The staff enjoyed educating on your surroundings The staff were very friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a fun time.... I wouldn't call it fun... nice and relaxing is what it was. We realized on this trip that this was geared more for kids and elderly.
Mahalo for your kind words. We are glad you had a relaxing evening!

My wife and I were treated to a magnificent drive down the unusually steep road into Waipio Valley in the early afternoon of Thursday, 4/18/24. Our tour guide Kaleo is a great young man who has lived in this unique place for most of his life; he grew up here. Kaleo was friendly, very knowledgeable, and very hospitable. He led us to several spectacular sites including waterfalls, lush foliage, and flowing streams. One could readily sense the tremendous power and majesty of this valley. We will treasure the opportunity we had to visit here. Our tour was for 1.75 hours. We HIGHLY recommend taking time to experience this great tour!

Fire performance was as the cool kids say these days....fire!
The buffet food was better than average. I go to Hawaii every year and we always do luau. This was the more memorable ones. Dessert buffet table was really good too.

This tour is wonderful. Waipio Valley is an incredible place, and the tour guide (who grew up in the Valley and lives there still) was phenomenal.

The boat was comfortable, the captain was friendly and knowledgeable. We got a text in the morning saying that visibility was poor... and it was. We didn't see much. I don't feel like it was worth the price. Maybe a beverage, a snack or a little souvenir could have been included for the $50 we paid.
Aloha,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Glass Bottom Boat Cruise. We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the boat and your interactions with our Captain. We're sorry that the ocean didn't cooperate on the day of your cruise, and that's why we sent the text prior to your arrival.
We've always tried to give our guests updated information about anything that will affect the quality of their cruise in time for them to reschedule or cancel their cruise should they decide not to join us. We appreciate your suggestions about additional items that can be added to the cruise, and we've forwarded your ideas to our Exec Team for their review.

We had done a tour of Waipio decades ago when it was a horse drawn wagon tour. The van tour we did this year was many times better than that one, and our guide was actually a resident of Waipio and gave a lot of insight into the area.

We very were honored to be in the presence of such a beautiful and sacred place. The discussion of Waipi’o history and culture from someone who was raised in the valley was a special experience. Thank you for your hospitality!

We are so happy that we took this tour! It was one of our favorite days of the vacation. Our tour guide, Omar, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Hawaiian culture and the history of the valley itself. It was beautiful.

For us it was a true Luau. Not just a Hawaiian show. From weaving headbands to teaching hula dancing. The show was very personable with audience interaction. Food was very good, brought out to the table instead of a buffet bar. It was an all day affair for us. Went to Waimea Falls first and spent some time there and then to the Luau. MC was great. Highly recommend. We stayed on the North Shore so it was very convenient!
