Our guide Stefan was incredible. We saw everything in the description plus a couple of extra stops along the way. The waterfalls were beautiful and the botanical garden has literally thousands of different species of tropical plants, most of which were in bloom. Stefan is really knowledgeable about the island and explained a lot of the history of the places we saw. There was plenty of time at each stop with over an hour at the botanical garden and the waterfall swim. Be aware that there is a lot of walking and stairs along the way, this is an outdoor adventure.

Explore Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, swim at Kulanipia private waterfalls, visit majestic Waipio Valley Lookout, and hike to the stunning Akaka Falls and Rainbow Falls on the scenic Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii on this full day of fun and exciting adventure. Discover the island’s diverse natural beauty, including multiple waterfalls, lush rain forests, and rugged sea cliffs as your guide shares history and legends.

Amazing tour! Chris was our guide and gave a great history of the island. The waterfalls and botantical gardens were amazing! Would highly recommend this tour,we also did the volcano and stargazing trip with Wasabi and would highly recommend doing both, as it's a great way to see different parts of the island. Both tours are long days, but worth every penny!
