Fascinating walking tour - Tremendous tour. 105 minutes jam-packed with wonderful information on the History of Hawaii, birds of Hawaii, flowers of Hawaii, coastline of Hawaii, sites to see in Maui. Topped off with a sweet ice cream treat. Easy walk at a comfortable pace. Well worth the time. Very affordable. HIGHLY recommended.

Lovely unusual morning - We did the walk together with the owner of this business,a young lady,so cheerful and professional, welcoming us to her island, as if she were an old friend of ours!! She was such good company, explaining many interesting historical facts and pointing, during our pleasant walk, at some beautiful birds, both endemic and imported. She even offered us a refreshing “mochi” in the middle of our walking tour, that lasted about two hours.  Very recommended for a relaxing morning,far from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki Beach.

Awesome way to spend the morning - I had an awesome time on this tour a couple weeks ago and learned a lot about Hawaii and local animals. Honestly this tour should be mandatory for all tourists and locals alike, I feel like I understand the place much better now. My guide had an insane amount of knowledge and could answer all my questions. It's a great deal too for all you get. Ice cream, sticker, info cards, etc. Super fun overall and I highly recommend.

Learned a lot and so much fun - We wanted to do something more than just the beach, and this walking tour was perfect. We learned a lot and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The kids loved identifying birds, and we loved learning more about the island!
