APPROX. WALKING LENGTH: We only walk short distances at the visited stops. The Waimea Waterfall stop includes a 40 minute leisurely stroll under the canopy of the trees (about 1.3 miles) but the arboretum offers motorized transportation as well to those who do not wish to walk at all. (The arboretum charges approximately $10.00 for this extra service.)

This is not a hiking adventure, it is a sightseeing tour. Only minimal walking is required at the various photo locations on this circle-island type adventure. This tour visits many of the most famous sights along our island’s beautiful coastline so there is no hiking requirement, instead, there are numerous photo stops along the way, (15-120 minutes spent at each location.)
