    A tour guide was Jason and he had Isaac with him to Translate for two other couples. They were both so nice and friendly. There was no fakeness to them. Jason was so knowledgeable all the way to & from our excursion at Waimea Falls. When we got to the Falls, he escorted us up explaining all the plants & trees native to Hawaii & those brought in. We had an exceptional experience. The water was so refreshing. Great day!!! I would highly recommend this tour!!!!
