Visiting Waipio?

[Durian Fiend]

On too the original purpose of the topic:  My 75 year old brother is visiting soon and had Waipio on his bucket list.  We did locate a tour guide that can take him down into the valley for $75.  A bargain as far as he is concerned.  As for myself,  I have been there several times and intend to not add my footprints there again.  Let it be.

Not bad.  Where does the tour commence?

The discussion of biking got me wondering if E-bikes have been used.  Maybe walk them down, or have them driven down, then bike up.  Sounds like something a tour company would dream up, although possibly a bit too risky.
