Keiko is the funniest guy we ever had. He is very knowledgeable about Honolulu's history and culture. He knows where he should go and is always on top of things. We are so excited to have him lead our tour. Thank you, Eco Tour.

Narrations by our driver and guide Juicy/Chauncey was very informative while entertaining. He speaks clearly, answers all questions, and details realistically what to expect. As advice: Bring rain coverage just incase (tour does provide ponchos incase which it did down pour). This tour provides water for the Waimea Valley hike. There isn't really a need to pack your own drinks really. Make sure to have a backpack for the stores. They do provide bags but those just fold at the top and don't have handles. Cost of your tour does not include any tip. Usually for a full day tour 20% is recommended as something to keep in mind. Keep Hawaiian traffic in mind when booking your tour. As in try not to book anything immediately upon your return like a luau because you will likely be late usually due reasons of construction, people rubber necking at turtles on the beach, questionable other drivers beyond the control of our guide which he does mention at the beginning of the tour and he will try his best to accommodate or give options.We had the pleasure of touring with Ray Ray who showed us a great time.

We had the pleasure of touring with Ray Ray who showed us a great time. We liked what we saw and enjoyed ourselves. The only reason why we downgraded to a 4 instead of a 5, is the last stop. We went into the shop and purchased an ice cream. There wasn’t anymore time to be able to explore such activities as the maze or the train. There should be enough time added for a complete visit of the Dole plantation.We took this tour on our first day in Hawaii. It was nice to see everything and be able to ask questions about locations we might go back to. Very educational and fun! Our favorite parts were the waterfall and Byodo-In Temple. Juicy and Momi were great tour guides!

Thank you so much "Juice" and Momi for a great experience! I was traveling with my grandparents, one of whom needed wheelchair transportation for each stop during the tour and Momi and "Juice" always helped her on and off the bus and getting in and out of her wheelchair! Two kind, energetic and funny people with so much knowledge of the island! I highly recommend this tour! My favorite part was swimming in the Waimea Falls!
