If you’re looking for a great way to spend a whole day exploring the island, this is it! Dreu, our travel guide kept us group entertained from the moment he introduced himself, to the moment he dropped us off. He is a huge wealth of knowledge, but adds a lot of humor and character to the information (he knows virtually everything you want to know about the entire island (and the others!); be it geological, historical, local, agricultural, past and present culture. We’re always looking to maximize our experience when vacationing from the popular sites, to the lesser known. My husband and I are not easily impressed or entrained (yes, we’re boring), but this experience was absolutely phenomenal! How often have you had the opportunity to swim in a private, beautiful waterfall? We did. The experience at Kulaniapia was one we will never forget. Stop reading hundreds of other reviews and book this!

We loved the waterfalls and variety of the tour. The Bento box for lunch was tasty. The only negative comment was our tour guide Derrick didn’t help or check on the older guests exiting the van/or on hike down to private waterfalls.

Our tour guide was Derek Stuart, and he was amazing! He picked us up at a campground, took us on an amazing tour, and conveniently dropped us off at the airport. He was very knowledgeable about the island and knew the answers to all of our questions. He gave us a tour that fit our wants and needs, taking us to places unknown to most tourists. It was a very authentic experience. Thanks Derek!

The waterfall tour was truly an astonishing experience. Our tour guide, Derek, was unparalleled in many ways. First, the care he has for his guests is evident in the way he treats everyone. He made sure we all had what we needed, always made sure we were comfortable and that we were having a great time. He took pictures for groups, gave personal recommendations for restaurants and other activities/ tours, and gave us potent of opportunities for bathroom breaks. Second, his knowledge of the history of the island is beyond anything we could have hoped for. We learned so much from Derek, even on the drives between stops! Third, he went out of his way to accommodate everyone in what we wanted to do for the day. For example, we all got to decide whether we stopped at a beautiful fruit stand along the way; and who would do no to that?! Besides how great Derek was, the entire day was astounding. We experienced so many breathtaking views, got up close with some truly remarkable plant life and had the opportunity to get once in a lifetime photos! I would recommend this excursion to anyone looking to get outdoors and enjoy some breathtaking sights.
