need a recommendation of a touring company for Waipio Vally - one that YOU have taken not just one you have heard of. Thanks in advance

This is from my trip report from last summer:

"The next day we took the Waipio Valley Shuttle to ... (can you guess???) ... the Waipio Valley! It was a wonderful trip and I was SOOOOO glad I didn’t try to drive into the valley myself. Our van crossed five rivers--and a couple of them seemed way too deep for a vehicle to cross. The guide/driver was excellent and we really enjoyed the trip. We saw quite a few wild horses and some very beautiful scenery and waterfalls.

I hope this helps!
When are you going to be there?

We are going in May and is WAIPIO SHUTTLE the name of the touring company? cost? length of time you are gone. Thanks

Here's all the info:

I'll be there in June for the Hawaii Songwriting Festival.

song doc.....have you taken this tour? 1.5 - 2 hours doesn't seem very long. One company was 10-12 hour day which was too long.

Yes, Shar. I took the tour and enjoyed it. 2 hours seemed about right to me.
There were longer tours that included hiking and time too swim.
For the tour I took, we mostly stayed in the van, only stopping a few times for photos.

FYI, the views are similar to the Pololu Valley, where I drove to the lookout and hiked down to the beach.
I loved both experiences.

FYI, I'll be there in June (at the newly renovated Westin Hapuna Beach) for the Hawaii Songwriting Festival. But I won't do much sightseeing this time, because I go every year
and spent extra time the past few years.

Enjoy!
