Beautiful waterfalls! - A fun tour with experienced guide,Matt. Learned about Hawaiian plants. Glad for the hiking stick they loaned me, as some parts of the hike had loose dirt and was slippery. Would never have found these waterfalls on our own, so it was totally worth it. Would have liked them to offer water at the end of the tour.

Nice experience and... - Nice experience and guide. Waterfall was great and picked up a few interesting bits of local knowledge. The walk was steep but not hard. It you’ve hiked to Hideaway beach this is much easier.

Wowza ~ so cool - What a terrific adventure. Guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area, the vegetation and the history. Highly recommend if you're looking to get off the beaten path and see a great waterfall without all the people!

Hidden waterfall hike - My husband and I are on our honeymoon and we were looking for an easier hike to do. This hike was extremely doable, and the waterfalls were beautiful. Our guide was amazing, she did a great job of warning the group of any upcoming mud spots and also educating us on the unique features that we got to see along the way. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a quicker hike, beautiful scenery, and an awesome crew to guide you!

Fun hike and swim - We really enjoyed the hike, it wasn’t too difficult and the waterfalls are beautiful. We ubered to the meeting point but then you walk about a half mile down a dirt road. The problem with that was the Uber drivers wouldn’t come pick us up because the location is so remote. We ended up walking back to a main road to get picked up. I highly recommend driving yourself to this excursion
