Hilo is the wettest and greenest part of the island, with charm and character to spare. Escape the touristy parts of the west coast and slow down to the pace of the laid-back locals. Our Valleys & Waterfalls Tour showcases our amazing Hamakua Heritage Coastal region with its diverse scenery; from 400ft waterfalls to bridges crossing deep cleft valleys, each with entirely different vegetation patterns in wild variety. This tour is designed to take advantage of both seasonal and daily weather changes as well as varying passenger loads from one to a vanful, and may take smaller numbers for an intense look at the beauty within 14 miles of Hilo including the Scenic Route and Akaka Falls. For larger numbers (5 or more), a long-ranging tour may go as far as Waipio Valley. We will honor even one reservation by running the tour with no minimum number for a shorter duration and more intense enjoyment of the area as far as Akaka Falls. In this way we can serve those who choose not to rent a car or those who realize that they will see more and learn more in a guided tour. During seasonal heavy rainfall, waterfalls within a few miles of Hilo become spectacular cascades. There is no set route nor list of sites as each tour is as different as the guides who lead it; some with stories of family growing up in the villages you will pass through.
