Too far to go; if on the island already is OK. Would you like me to be more critical? Don't want to spend any more of my time with this!

Great views! Rosario was a great guide. You might get motion sickness going up and down the canyon. Take meds, but otherwise it's a good time.

HAWAIIAN SUPERMAN KALEO! We love you! We are so grateful to have you as our guide TWICE! Anyone who is wondering if this tour is worth it, 100% yes it is worth it! The best part was definitely having Kaleo as the bus driver because of his wonderful sense of humor, upbeat music choices, and excellent relay of information. We appreciate his attention to detail, wide range of knowledge, and warm Aloha Spirit! Mahalo Nui!
