Waimea Valley Waterfall Swim & Hike tour
I like botanical gardens very much. I love swimming near/under waterfalls. So I was excited since I discovered the opportunity. But the reality was far beyond my expectations. The tropical forest in Waimea Valley is really amazing! The water under the waterfall was warm enough for my wife to join. The pieces of pineapple at Dole Plantation are very tasty. On top of all of this were very interesting and deep stories from our guide Jayson.
