This extended 90-minute tour takes you deeper into the rainforest, past exotic plants, fragrant flowers, and even a tranquil stream running through the property. Along the way, take in stunning panoramic views of Mauna Kea, the Pacific Ocean, and the surrounding countryside. With expert guides leading the way, you’ll experience an effortless and exhilarating journey through one of the most scenic locations on the Big Island.

What to Expect

Your adventure begins with a brief training session where your certified guide will introduce you to the Segway PT and ensure you feel comfortable navigating the terrain. Once ready, set off on a guided tour through the lush gardens, effortlessly gliding beneath towering trees and past a dazzling array of tropical plants.

As you move through the gardens, you'll see exotic trees bearing cashews, pineapples, and cinnamon, while orchids and other vibrant flowers add bursts of color to the landscape. Depending on the season, you may even get to taste fresh fruit straight from the trees. The experience is a full sensory journey—smell the fragrant blooms, hear the soothing sounds of the waterfalls and trade winds, and feel the cool rainforest air against your skin.

Your journey continues deeper into the rainforest, where you’ll follow scenic trails leading to Kamae‘e Falls, a stunning waterfall tucked away at the top of the property. Along the way, your guide will share stories and insights about the local flora, fauna, and the rich history of the land.

Take in breathtaking 360-degree views of Mauna Kea with its observatories in the distance, the rolling green hills of a traditional paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) cattle ranch, and the vast blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean—where, if you're lucky, you might even spot a humpback whale breaching offshore.

With the ease of the Segway PT, you’ll be able to take in all the beauty without exerting yourself, making this an ideal way to explore the gardens in comfort and style. Whether you're a first-time Segway rider or an experienced glider, this tour offers a truly unforgettable way to experience Hawaii’s natural wonders.
