I did…read morenot even know they offered that service, but right after we booked, I received a call from Lauren and she offered so many great recommendations for things to do around the Island as well as before our ATV/zip lining tour. Her knowledge of the Island makes her to the perfect personal concierge and tour planner. Did I mention that this is complimentary?! Lauren is so friendly and really nailed our vision for how to spend our time on the Island. If you are thinking of booking with Malama Tours, please ask for Lauren. You won't be disappointed and again, it's complimentary, so you can't go wrong.

Joe was a fantastic tour guide. We had a great time on our tour and got a great taste of the island.read more

Nandor the Explorer!!! What more can I say about this man and his utmost professionalism. He was in…read moreconstant communication with us from booking through to the beginning of our hike up the Moanalua Trail. We were worried about the rainy weather but Nandor told us not to worry and I'm glad we trusted him because even though our hike began with a downfall, it cleared up and switched between cloudy/misty and sunny. The weather was perfect for the hike because if it was all sunny, I think it would've been too hot. Only thing was it was extremely muddy but fear not, our guide came prepared. He has spikes for us as well as extra rope since somehow all of the normal ropes that were supposed to be on the trail were cut down or removed. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. If you need recommendations for other trails basically anywhere, this is your man! He's been around so many places and has hiked and explored almost all the places I could think of. I'm pretty sure I would've fallen off the ridges or slipped and tumbled my way to certain injury if it weren't for his guide and ensuring our safety. One bonus thing, the guy takes AMAZING pictures for you on his professional camera. So don't even worry about using your phone, he's got you covered! Thanks Nandor, I shall come to you the next time I want to explore Hawaii's secluded gems!

Nandor provides a world-class experience every time. I have had the pleasure of hiking 4 trails in…read moreOahu with Nandor and each have been difficult, exciting, and a memorable experience. I would highly recommend him as a guide for any level of experience hiker as he personalizes your adventure. He never packs multiple groups together but rather offers a private experience for you and your group. He is an easy companion and good conversationalist, which is important if you're out for a 4-5 hour hike. Utmost professionalism in that he assess your capabilities, keeps a watchful eye, yet encourages you to accomplish things you didn't expect you ever would. He understands the weather and geography of Hawaii. Watch his youtube videos from Hungaro Explorer to see what kind of fun awaits.

However if you want to enter the picnic area where there are bathrooms, you will need to pay an entrance fee if you don't have a Hawaii Driver's License or ID.

Don't speed, there have been many accidents because people took the turns too quickly. Enjoy the beautiful views!!

This was one of the most thrilling helicopter rides I have ever been on. While driving from the…read moreairport, I noticed a sign about Magnum Helicopters advertising they did "doors off" helicopter flights. I was intrigued by that. Earlier that week, I had done another helicopter tour with another company that was more sedate but good as well. The day b4 my flight back to the states, I decided to give Magnum a try. I was looking for a thrilling ride that could rival skydiving (I used to skydive many years ago). This ride gave me the thrill I was looking for. It was so fun to have the doors off, be strapped in, and hear the wind rushing by. This place is very very conscientious about safety. You watch a safety briefing on a video, etc. The ground crew takes good care of you and makes sure you are strapped in well, etc. Our pilot was Josh and he made the whole trip fun. He was an excellent pilot, took us to see all the important sights, and had great banter with the passengers. You can tell he is very experienced with piloting a helicopter and very safe too. Feeling the wind blow in your face, mussing up your hair as you fly around was a lot of fun. We could bring our phones with us to take pics and videos but they had to be in a plastic bag case tethered to our wrist (case and tether is available for rent or purchase). Magnum Helicopters is also based upon the Magnum PI show. The helicopter is painted in those colors and there is a Ferrari that one can sit in (in the waiting area) and gets pics in. I am hoping to come back to Oahu later this year so I can visit the other islands. If I do, I'll be sure to come back to Magnum Helicopters to get another thrilling ride

I definitely recommend this hike. If you're looking to do something with your family, this hike is…read morenot too steep. Very doable for all ages. But also not recommended if you have a health condition, with restrictions. Before you arrive, you need to make a reservation on their website. It's more convenient because you can pay for the parking on there as well. When you receive your email confirmation, it will give you a once use QR code. You will get this scanned in the entrance and it will cover you for parking. NOTE: when making reservations, you will select times slots. Morning slots do fill up first, so put that into consideration if you were planning to do this hike. Right across from the visitor center they have the restrooms. These restrooms are the cleanest restrooms I've ever seen. They even have changing stations for mom's with babies. Sinks also have soap and water. The outside of the bathrooms, they have water fountains, and water dispensers for you to fill up your water bottles. Me and my sister did this hike and the time slot we got was for noon. The sun is out! I suggest you carry your sunblock with you while on the hike because you will need to reapply as you keep moving upwards. The sun is out and you will feel it. This hike is also nice because it has designated resting spots with benches in case you need to pull over get a drink and catch your breath. Somewhere towards the top, you will reach a huge flight of stairs. That's very steep, if you like a challenge, the stairs will lead you closer to the top. But if you take the left path, that's a pathway with rails. That is completely doable, for the slower hikers, like myself. And on the bright side, the left side path does come with a view. When you are all done with your hike, they have some very cute souvenirs at the visit center. Very cute hello Kitty merchandise as well, if you are a fan. ALSO!! GET A SWEET TREAT! on the far right next to the visitor center there are two food trucks parked that sell shaved ice, and Dole whips!! I had a great experience! I'm so happy I get across this hike off of my list.
