Jackson was our wonderful tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to as well. We lucked out and had a small group so Jackson was able to personalize our experience a bit which was very nice. The company Jackson works for seems to be run fairly well, and if they have more tour guides like Jackson then we will absolutely sign up for more activities with them.

Little over priced.

Nuha_A, Aug 2026
Our tour guide Jeremy (JAK) was the best part of this trip. He is full of enthusiasm and energy. He talks about everything your eyesight lands on in a funny way. We did not swim in the waterfall because it was rough that day. Be careful neither tickets to dole garden are included nor the dole whip.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Aloha Nuha, Thank you so much for the kind words about Jak. We'll sure to pass this along to him. We're sorry the waterfall conditions weren't swimmable that day. Stream conditions can change quickly, and safety always comes first for us. Regarding Dole Plantation, the tour includes a stop at the plantation grounds itself, but admission tickets to the attractions are not included in the tour price. We'll also take a look at our tour materials to make sure this is communicated as clearly as possible up front. Thank you again for your review. We truly appreciate it and we hope to welcome you back on another adventure with us soon. Mahalo Cindy

Lots of Adventure Awaits

Kelli_T, Apr 2026
This is an excellent tour and tour company. Very attentive, informative and friendly. Walk to waterfall is gorgeous and not strenuous. If swimming bring water shoes and note there is a place to change clothes. Food was excellent!

Waimea valley

Melinda_W, Feb 2026
Started off rough when we were picked up about 45 minutes late. Could have done without the coffee farm stop. Our pastry was a hot dog. Waimea valley saved the tour. It was beautiful and our guide/driver was great. He was very fun to talk with and very knowledgeable. His helper was the Japanese interpreter and he was so funny. Would have liked more time at dole plantation to ride the train but we weren’t allowed since we had such a late start. Lunch was very good.

Very Good Trip to Waimea Falls! Dole Plantation stop on way back.

Nancy_D, Nov 2025
Trip to Waimea Falls and Dole plantation. Easy pick up, comfortable and cool bus. Very friendly guide/driver. Waimea falls was great but Dole plantation too short. It stated 2 hrs. We only got 1 hr.

Hands down one of the best tours on the island

Wonderful driver

Jeanne_O, Jul 2025
The activities were just as described and our driver kept us on task. We were able to see and do what we had planned.

Waterfall experience

Greg_R, Jun 2025
Waterfall swimming activity definitely worth the trip, would highly recommend booking thru Nature to go.

Great Experience

Martha_M, Jun 2025
The tour was great! Host was excellent in communicating the travel plans … from pick up destination and time to pre-planning snacks and lunch. The highlight was the waterfall experience. I would recommend taking water shoes and a water bottle. The lunch was more than expected. Definitely recommend!

The Waterfall, chefs kiss!

Mariah_M, May 2025
Jackson was an amazing guide. Fun, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. The swim, chefs kiss! This was the reason I booked the tour, and the whole experience was amazing!

Fun hike and a great day!

KathrynDenise_P, Apr 2025
Great time with Jason and Mai! Coffee, banana bread, Hawaiian history, fun hike, beautiful waterfall, yummy lunch, Dole Whip and scenic drive! Even learned some Hawaiian words!

Thank you Jason for a memorable trip.

Isabet_G, Apr 2025
Jason our very knowledgeable guide was very nice to take us along the road. When we arrived, he took us to the fall explaining us a lot of things about plants and trees. We wear a group. I would say you’re 15 people you are free. If you wanna go ahead, you can or like me and my husband we prefer to walk along the way to the cascade with Jason, who taught us a lot of things I didn’t know About the trees. The swimming in the cascade was very refreshing and fun. It was not too crowded. It’s easy to get in if you like to walk on the rocks.. in the morning, he took us to a place to have our coffee with a banana cake, but you have the option to buy something by yourself if you want more the place was very green. On our way back we stopped at doll which she is also a place to shop if you want to and where are you? Definitely taste their delicious with capital letters pineapple ice cream but you have other options too.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the hike and the opportunity to learn more about the local plants and trees with Jason. It sounds like you had a great time at the waterfall and appreciated the coffee stop and visit to Dole as well. We appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you again on a future tour. Mahalo!

Kathleen_H, Jan 2025
Great day at the amazing wonderful splendid spectacular waterfall. Be ready to do an ice plunge because the temp of the water is -10 degrees (joking)
