Kona wonderful tour day
We had a great day with our tour guide and driver Jess. She shared so much interesting information. I learnt about the growing and production of coffee at Greenwell Coffee farm. Loved all the free coffee samples. The Painted Church was beautiful inside and the gardens lovely. Jess knew so much about Hawaiin plants we saw throughout the whole tour. The lunch spot was delicious local Hawaiin food. Lastly the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park and the beach where we saw the turtles. It was special to see them swimming in the shallow water just off the beach. Jess was very friendly and ensured we got to see everything in good time.

Day Trip from Oahu to Hilo: Volcano Adventure
G2647HPbrandyr, Sep 2026
So many beautiful stops
I am glad we left Oahu to see the national park and other beautiful parts of the big island. The weather at the top where you look out at the volcano was windy and rainy but still great! It was so cool to go from the outlook over the volcano to seeing what the cooled lava looked liked and then to change drastically to a tropical eco system to walk through the lava tube. Then we got additional site setting that included things like beautiful waterfalls. I would recommend it for sure!

Andrew was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, a fantastic guide/storyteller, and made us all feel safe. He is great at what he does! Seeing all the scenic parts while hearing about hawaiian history, the caves, the stars! Everything was so worth seeing. Doesn't even feel like hours had passed. Plus the hot chocolate at the end 👌 🍫.

Sam the man in the van
Our experience with the very knowledgeable Sam was a magnificent one. He was engaging, entertaining and educated us for the whole tour on the history of Hawai’i and volcanoes. Sam treated passengers more like friends than tourists as he navigated questions from all angles. Sam is a bloody legend!! Thank you for a brilliant trip.
