Our guides were very diligent in giving us the full experience. Some rainy weather moved in, and they worked real hard at giving us the stargazing experience we were looking for. They could have given up with conditions changing like they did. Both guides we’re extremely knowledgeable, and well-versed at their job 🤙🏻👊🏻

Waterfalls and botanical gardens north east island tour
Nice relaxing and enjoyable tour. Stefan was so knowlegable and informative of the island. I learned so much and the scenery where we stopped was so beautiful. Well worth paying for a driver so you can enjoy yourself. Also breaking tour up into specialty area is the way to go. Not rushing around trying to see whole island in one day.

Take this tour! It’s worth it!
Went on a tour with this company a few days after Hurricane Lala, so many sites were either altered or closed. However, our guide Grant made sure we had the best time. We rode around the top perimeter of the island and was able to see Rainbow Falls, stop in Hilo for specialized gifts and candies, have a wonderful lunch, and go into Kilauea to see the crater and hike the crater rim. Grant is an absolute blast! He entertained us with many stories of Hawaiian history and lore, having lived there for the past 50 years. We covered a large part of the island and drove back on the saddle. I would highly recommend this tour and tour company!

Great Experience!
Me and my wife had an amazing time on this tour. Our guide, Jon, was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. You can tell he really takes pride in his job and ensured everyone had the best experience possible. The waterfalls and views were stunning. The actually hiking between waterfalls / sites was brief but totally approximately 1 mile. The lunch provided was better than expected and very filling with a one of a kind view on a private cliffside picnic area.

Very Excellent Adventure Tour
What an excellent tour! Our guide, Garry, was so knowledgeable and interesting. So fun to explore with him. The tour picked us up at our rental house in a nice Sprinter van. We got to go onto private land which is pretty much uninhabited. They provided walking sticks, rain jackets, towels, day packs, snacks - everything was in great condition and excellent quality (ie. Patagonia jackets). It was so interesting to learn about the land and peoples who populated it originally. The hike was exactly as described - mild walking about 1-2 miles. Unfortunately, we were there the day before Hurricane Lala hit the island and the waterfalls were enormous so no swimming for us. Garry was amazed because he had been there 2 days prior and the size of the waterfalls was at least half to 3/4 of what we saw. We were disappointed to miss the swimming in the waterfalls but....that's nature for you. We had an excellent lunch afterwards. This tour is pricey but well worth it. I would definitely use Hawaii Forest & Trail again for other adventures.

Waterfall Hike You Cannot Miss!
Must-do family-friendly adventure! My son, niece and I thoroughly enjoyed hiking to see the various waterfalls and learning about Hawaii in general. Our guide, Dave, was very attentive and made sure we safely navigated the few spots on the hike that were slippery from the rain. I highly recommend this tour!!

A Great Tour
I just finished this tour and I am so happy I signed up for this trip. What a great tour of the Big Island! First of all, communication with Eric the day was perfect - plans had to change to due the impending storm and early closures. I can’t say enough about our guide Dave - he was a great driver and an excellent tour guide - very friendly and knowledgeable. Big Island Candies is a nice, local stop. Volcano National Park is always a great destination to visit. Lunch at Volcano House and the view was absolutely amazing. (A decent lunch and admission was included in the price.) Spending time at the Black Sand Beach and the coffee farm were nice stops to end the trip. I highly recommend and I would do this trip again on a future visit to the Big Island.
