Great one-day sampler of the Big Island — Miexia made it easy!
We booked Ohana Tours’ Big Island in a Day and would happily recommend it. Miexia was a great guide. He was friendly, kept the day moving, and made a long itinerary feel easy. Pickup and drop-off were super convenient, which took a lot of stress out of covering so much of the island in one day. This tour is perfect if you want a little taste of the Big Island’s major sights without planning the driving yourself. You hit the highlights and get a real sense of what the island has to offer. The only thing to know going in is that you don’t get a lot of time at each stop. It’s a sampler, not a slow day at one or two places. That was fine for us and still felt like a 5-star day because the guide, logistics, and overall experience were so good. If you’re short on time and want the “greatest hits” version of the Big Island, this is a great choice.

Volcano national park
Was on Norwegian spirit and they changed port of call dates but our tour guide Don was helpful in rescheduling our tour to accommodate us. He was very informative about Hawaiian history and facts about area. Made stops not normally done by cruise line and spent extra time in wonderful places. Highly recommended if on big island.

This was a great experience and we had a wonderful time. They went OUT OF THEIR WAY to make sure we saw what we wanted and even took us to a slightly different spot when part of the volcano was clouded in. They even got us local treats to try.

Choose your own adventure
This self guided tour was everything! I loved that it gave us the option to choose our own adventures. If we passed something, the tour would recognize it and move on to the next thing. It was so nice to have something that linked directly to gps for us. When we lost internet connection in the rainforest, this tour got us through to the main road. The tour guide had an awesome voice too!

Inter Island travel was nbd, make the trip and see the volcano!
Mel was great, provided lots of great information and a dash of humor. The van was perfect, modern with charging capabilities for electronics and very comfortable. We made numerous stops as we made our way to the volcano, all important to understanding the islands characteristics. Our day gave us a small glimpse of lava, no fountains but enough to scratch the itch to see. I did one day travel from Oahu, even with flight issues (a cancellation and maintenance problems) the tour group kept things on track and low stress. Really enjoyed the trip, and highly recommend.
