Overrated. You will see only 1 tiny (but high) waterfall from far far away. Then you cross a few rivers and look at the very typical Hawaiian floral. Not worth the $75 ticket cost($235 for the family…Full review by Elena S

Best day we had in the island. We took the 1pm tour down and got dropped off and had 2 hours to chill on the longest black beach in the world. We were the only ones there. After two excellent hours w…Full review by brad c

Great experience. Too expensive at $79 per person, plus a $20 tip. Tip is not required, we were feeling generous. Yes, Hawaii is crazy expensive, but this would be expensive at half the price.Full review by Matt R
Is this a hop on/hop off type of tour, or are you in the van the whole time? Do they allow time to get off at various areas to take in the beauty and enjoy for a while?

Steep way down and back in the van; expert driver. We stopped several times and got out of the van to get a great view of Hi’ilawe Falls, another time to take a look at a tiny chamelion he spotted on a bush; and another time at the bottomr of the valley to see the wild horses. The stops were not long, but were also not hurried. We had a great time.
This valley is so majestic, a 1-2 hour tour feels like a tease. Is it possible to go down with the tour in the morning and ride back up with the last van so we have time to truly relax and enjoy this remarkable place?

To take more advantage of the beach, you can be asked to be dropped at the beach and skipped the valley tour all together. If you go to the right, there is a trail that goes to a waterfall. If you go to the left and hike all the way to the end of the beach, you will see a sign for another trail head that lead to a multiday hike. Hike as far as you'd like to appreciate the views, then turn around and come back. To get to it you need to cross a river crossing, which is about waist high. But you can leave your stuff at the bank and just wade over. There's no getting around getting wet though.
