During this experience, places you will visit include:

  • Byodo-In Temple
  • Waimea Valley

Will I see a waterfall?

The flow of the waterfall depends on rainfall. So the size or if there a waterfall at all depends on if it rained recently and/or how much it has rained recently. There is no guarantee the waterfall will be visible at Waimea Valley (especially during summer)

Is there a lot of walking on this tour?

This circle island tour as more walking than most circle island tours due to the visit to both the Byodin-Temple and Waimea Valley.

The trail to Waimea Falls is about 3/4 of a mile and takes approximately 30 minutes. It is paved the entire way, with gentle hills. There are several gravel paths off the main corridor, for more adventurous walkers to explore all our botanical garden collections. According to Waimea Valley Website

It was a great overview of the island. The tour guide made it a history lesson and a sights guide. He was incredible. This tour was way beyond my expectations fantastic. Our driver was Kimo. I’m not sure if he realizes how much of an ambassador he is for Hawaii. But he set the tone of our understanding of the islands and now our love for the people: their attitude and kindness as well as their deep seated sense of family. To our surprise, Kimo spoke to us for the entire trip. Literally giving us tour information and pointing out sites to see and giving us very deep history of the island. He was also pleasant and funny, and you could tell he just really cared about our experience as well as about his island. Even if we hadn’t seen anything, it would’ve been worth the tour just to hear him. He even played the ukulele and sang to us as we were waiting for people to get back to the bus. We circled the island so we did not get to stay long at any place we stopped. It around an hour at each stop, But we now know where we might wanna go next time to stay longer. He even pointed out the best and famous bakeries and restaurants in Honolulu as we drove through there. Literally, he left nothing out.
