This adventure was everything I expected and more. Dane and Curtis were excellent guides. Dane told us stories of his culture with great respect. The ziplining was so much fun and safety was definitely a top priority. The views were beautiful. The small group made it very personal. I would give this tour 10 stars ⭐️!

Dane was awesome. We all became friends by the end of the day. He was so informative, funny, and easy going. The entire day was very well organized and just an overall great experience. The views, the zip lines, the hike, and swimming under the waterfall. Very much worth the money. Absolute 10/10

This hike was amazing! There were so many beautiful waterfalls. And it was very unique to get to swim under a waterfall. The view at lunch was spectacular! And Mike is an entertaining guide. I highly recommend this experience!

This was a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept us at a good pace. We had a total of 5 in our party, including a 5 year old and a 7 year old. The kids were able to keep up without any problems.

Great app and tour of the big island. Very accurate gps coordination with tour speaking. I would highly recommend. So Worth it.
