- Admission to every stop has been taken care of, just bring money for snacks and souvenirs.
- Lunch is included on this tour. Your driver will update you on the daily menu and offer you a few different options from our favorite places to eat.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a change of clothes if you are thinking about taking a quick dip at Waimea Falls.
