Koko Head - fabulous guide! - Fantastic experience! Nicole was supportive and motivating and I loved that it felt like we were old friends catching up. I really wanted to hike Koko Head with someone as a novice and am so glad I booked Nicole. The hike was challenging, but fun and as someone who is scared of heights I didn’t find it scary. When I return to Hawaii I’ll definitely be reaching out to Nicole for more adventures. Thank you!

I kicked off the trip... - I kicked off the trip with Nicole and her super-nice ride—definitely set the tone for a relaxed, fun day. We chatted the whole way, stopped for a quick bathroom break, and then headed into the Koko Trail. Even though I work out regularly, I was surprised by how steep the trail was. But Nicole was always cheerfully encouraging, chatting with me non-stop and making the climb feel way easier and way more fun than I expected. When we reached the top, she took me off the beaten path to spots with hardly any people—perfect for awesome photos. As a solo traveler, I had an absolute blast, and Nicole’s warm personality made the whole experience extra special. Can’t recommend it enough!

Amazing and motivational - Special thanks to Nicole - the best tour guide ever! Nicole is attentive, full of positive energy and motivated to make your experience unique. She showed me beautiful views on our way to the Koko Head, encouraged me through the hike and she has been best companion for the tour. I wish I have booked tour earlier, as it was amazing! I highly recommend to everyone.

Nicole >>>>>> !!!!! - Nicole is such a lovely guide! She knows the area and the people, and clearly loves what she does. She provided both great conversation and adjusted her pace to mine as we hiked, making the whole walk up seem less difficult. She brought cold drinks for after the hike too! As for the hike, it gets hot under the sun but the breeze offers some reprieve. Wear lots of sunscreen and bring more water than you think you’ll need, just in case. There are also plenty of spots where you can leave the railway and sit down for a breather. The view from the summit is unreal and so worth the hard work and sweat! This is a must-try for even the sort-of athletic like me! And if you’re going, I can’t recommend Nicole enough - her positivity and energy are infectious and will leave you feeling like you can take on the world!
