LOL! Definitely on our bucket list for our next visit to the island. But plan at least 1/2 day for the experience!
I think there are horseback outfitters who offer trips into the valley, which is definitely the way we'd chose to do it!
What part of the island did you base yourself out of when you visited Waipi'o? We're thinking of spending a 1/2 day and coming from Waimea (Mauna Kea).
