Sightseeing / Guided Tours

Enjoyed the hike in rainforest even though the hike seemed more like an intermediate level hike instead of a beginner's hike. (maybe I'm just out of shape more than I thought I was!) Driver to and from was friendly and k... morenowledgeable about Manoa Falls and the surrounding areas. The bug spray, walking stick, and water bottle were a definite plus. Overall, we enjoyed the experience.

Yoshi is an excellent tour guide. He took lots of care driving us up the mountain to reach the 10000 ft mark. Once there he took us to a special spot where we saw the beautiful sunset then he set up chairs with blankets ... moreand gloves for the cooler temperatures. We saw lots of stars and planets. He is very knowledgeable in relation to stargazing. Highly recommend taking this tour with him!

It was supposed to be a straight-forward excursion... pick us up, drop us off, pick us up again. However, our driver (unfortunately, I did not get his name) was such a hoot!!! At 5am, he had an energy and attitude that... more made everyone in the bus a little bit happier The pickup was quick and efficient. The driver made every stop an occasion.

Most of the tour was a long bus ride. The scenery was quite lovely, but we didn’t stop very much. The lighthouse was so far away that it was not easy to get a truly good photo. The movie site portion was showing us video... mores on the bus but hardly seeing the actual sights. Saw Princeville from the bus. Chocolate factory was, in my opinion, a waste of time. Hanalei was a cute town, but once lunch was done, it was just another shopping center.
Sorry.

Our guide was absolutely great! He was fun to be with. Unfortunately Mother Nature was not very cooperative, as it was very overcast/cloudy. No stargazing at the top or at the lower level was possible. Sunset was also di... moresappointing. We did get to wander around some awesome telescopes. We were told we would each get a rebate on our charge, but that hasn't shown up on our account yet. But, we did have fun w/ our fellow excursionists, and as I stated at the beginning, our guide was great! Back at the bottom, he did take some time to show us some stars and constellations that became visible.

Very fun tour, would recommend!
