Worthwhile hike.
Dave was our guide. It was a rainy day but he made the best of it. He is very knowledgeable. We only had 4 people on our tour. We were unable to swim due to the intensity of the falls but the overall experience was great fun.

A moment in time, well spent getting to know more about the Kona region of Hawaii. The Kona coffee designation/region is a special place to grow this specific variety of coffee, and to explore the purveyors/custodians of this region is truly a treat. The passion for stewardship and being one with the planet is the only way to keep this remarkable flavor unique.

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.

Great way to experience Hilo
We had a great experience from beginning to end. Steve was very responsive and helpful. Our tour guide Amanda was very nice and knowledgeable. We enjoy learning about the culture. We were provided with a great meal, wich provided sample of local food. This was a nice unexpected touch. Overall, I was very pleased with the service. I would definitely recommend touring with Aloha Aina.

ATV paired with a tasting
We had a wonderful coffee tasting experience! It was educational, engaging, and entertaining from beginning to end. We learned so much about the growing, harvesting, roasting, and brewing process, and the tasting was both informative and enjoyable. The ATV ride was a great addition and made the experience even more fun. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and memorable adventure!

Best experienced UTV ride
Our Guide Kamalani was very informative on the island and we enjoyed the UTV tour and the course was muddy which made it very good for the tour. Got to taste guavas along the tour. Its great for Local families that hasn't done ATV/ UTV riding before. They teach you how to use the equipment before going out. Locals call to book your reservation:)

A great tour and we felt we were contributing to a good cause.
Our guide Peter was extremely knowledgeable and experienced and is a member of the Friends of the Volcanoes Park, so the money we paid goes to the benefit of the park. He was very interesting, had lots of great stories, and was fun to be around.

Fun, exilerating, and snuck in some learning!
We took the small boat tour out into Hilo bay for a two hour waterfall tour. Our captains, Koleco and Morgan, took excellent care of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire adventure. Morgan made the safety tour fun and interesting. In spite of no promises, we did get a pod of spinner dolphins that follwed us around for awhile and showed off why they’re called spinners. The scenery, old sugar mills, ans waterfalls were just all so lovely. Morgan was a great source of information about hos the sugar mills operated and shaped the coastline. Koleco was a master at avoiding as many of the larger swells and kept us relatively dry. It only really rained on us the last 15 minutes or so and in no way dampened our enjoyment of this trip. Great job, mahalo, brothers!
