It is an open door tour and a must do if you can swing it. I wouldn't bother with the other tour companies as they only offer enclosed cabins. We did the 2 hour tour which included landing at a secluded waterfall and having lunch. They took us into a valley with tons of waterfalls (where Jurassic Park scenes were filmed). Bring some champagne to go with the sandwiches. It was amazing! You only live once. |
We did the slightly cheaper option that didn't include lunch, but otherwise I completely agree with this (not that I disagree about lunch; I just can't say either way). That was the highlight of our trip and one of the most fun times I've ever had.
I also agree with previous comments about the hike, but I wouldn't bother with it after it rains unless your girl is into outdoors activities. Mine wasn't, and she did not enjoy it after slipping and falling a mile into the hike.
As for food, the Sueoka Snack Shop is a good, cheap option that's popular with the locals for stand-and-eat food. It's in Koloa, so it's close to your hotel. The shrimp cart towards the Sprouting Horn is another good lunch option if you like garlic. It's only a few miles from your hotel too. Lappert's Ice Cream is also excellent, and they have a few locations in the area.
