Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to go on this tour? I want to avoid rain!

A: The best time to do this tour is between April and October when the weather is typically drier and there's less chance for rain. However, the Big Island can still surprise you, so it's good to check the forecast. If you go in the wet season, just be prepared with a poncho or light rain jacket!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour? Thinking of taking my 6-year-old.

A: No age limits here! This tour is family-friendly, so it's perfect for kids. They’ll love the waterfalls and the caves! Just make sure they’re comfortable with some light hiking and walking. Also, bring snacks for the picnic dinner!

Q: Can you reschedule if something comes up? Need to know before I book.

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just try to give them at least 24 hours' notice. They’re pretty flexible, but it’s best to check their policy when booking. If you need a specific date, I’d recommend booking early to avoid any issues.

Amazing waterfalls and a picnic dinner - Loved the Kona Waterfalls Tour!

Just got back from the Kona Private Waterfalls and Mauna Kea Visitor Center tour, and it was incredible! The Rainbow Falls were stunning, and the cave exploration was super interesting. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the whole experience fun. Plus, the picnic dinner surrounded by nature was such a nice touch. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Big Island! Just make sure to bring a light jacket for Mauna Kea!

Considering gifting the Waterfalls tour... thoughts?

I'm thinking about getting the Kona Private Waterfalls experience for my sister’s birthday. She loves nature and exploring. Is it really as good as it sounds? What should I know before I book? Any tips would be appreciated!
