Experience the nature of Hawaii

4.00Considered the best and biggest botanical gardens in Oahu. A must for gardeners and botanist. It's a 1.5 mile walk one way so 3 miles round trip. The main drag is paved but the side trails are often times dirt and uphill so hard for a person with a wheelchair or walker. One can pay extra for a go-cart shuttle ride to or round trip to the waterfall that leaves at certain designated times. Many of the plants are labelled. swimming in the waterfall is optional. Pool seemed smaller than I was expecting. Changing rooms, life vest for lease and towels for sale I think are available on sight. If you are doing both the gardens and swim I'd recommend at least two hours there. The pool has a little slanted cement walk down but the rocks can be slippery. If you take the shuttle round trip you breeze past through the gardens, I took the shuttle to the waterfall and then walked back. Price was like ten dollars. You get a wooden nickel for each ride as proof of fair. Friendly staff.
Capt. Vinces Island Tour

5.00This tour was booked as a group tour, however my wife and I were the only two participating. The guide, Capt. Vince went ahead with the tour anyway, which was very much to our advantage, it had become a private tour. The tour was exceptional, Capt. Vince's local knowledge of both the Island, and the people we were dealing with first class. The tour left our hotel at 6.30am to get ahead of the crowds later in the day, and did exactly that. We found we didn't have to line up anywhere. The tour was excellent and the guide, Capt. Vince was first class.
Great way to see the island

5.00Captain Vince was an awesome captain and tour guide showed us a lot of great spots all over the island. Tell us a little bit of the native tongue. My family and I had a great time would definitely look Captain Vince up when we come back.

5.00This was the best experience! Captain Vince went above and beyond. He ensured all passengers were engaged, entertained, and having fun while experiencing true Hawaiian culture / traditions. He is SO knowledgeable and answered every question we had with enthusiasm. He truly wants his passengers to have a great experience. I would 100% recommend this tour over tours offered with other companies. Definitely a highlight of the trip!
See Oahu in one day! Highly recommend!

5.00Great, comprehensive tour of Oahu. Captain Vince is knowledgeable, personable, and kept us entertained the entire 9 hours. :-) His was the only tour we could find that took us to both the Byodo-In Temple and the Waimea Falls -- they were "must-sees" for us. We highly recommend Captain Vince and this tour.

5.00The best day on Oahu! Vince made the day so much fun! He was so good about learning everyone’s names and including everyone in the conversations throughout the day. Not only did he take us to all the stops…he made it a learning experience. We learned so many history facts as well as trivia facts. We started out getting pics at sunrise. Beautiful! Vince took several pics of each couple and a group pic. Maybe favorite stop was the Waimea waterfall. Nothing like swimming under a waterfall. (Life jackets provided). At the end of the tour we all had a late lunch together. Great to make new friends on vacation! Mahalo Vince!
You won’t be disappointed!
