Fabulous tour from Hilo cruise port
Excellent day visiting Richardson black sands, Macadamia nut factory, the fantastic national volcanoes park, the beautiful Rainbow Falls with a bonus trip to the big island candy store. Andre was our guide and he was exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable and amusing. Lovely to have just 11 passengers on the bus. Ensured we were back to the cruise ship with plenty of time to spare. One of the best days of our holiday.

Kīlauea Hike and Lava Gazing with Native Hawaiian
J2147XHalisonm, Sep 2026
The absolute best volcano tour.
Kalaninuimehamhea is a fantastic guide briming with local and cultural knowledge. He was full of stories of the local plants and wildlife and how the land at higher elevations came to be viewed as sacred. The tour started with a brief history of the islands peoples and how they came to be here, and progressed through to modern times ad the tour progressed. An absolutely gem of an experience and the highlight of my entire trip. If you have a curious and respectful mind and soul, you can't book a better tour.

Best way to see the Volcano National Park
The absolute best way to see the Park. The navigation APP was amazing and easy to follow. You get to see areas that would normally require a 1/4 to 1/2 mile walk with ease. Gwendolyn was amazing in getting us set up and used to the bikes. Highly recommend this no-brainer way to see an amazing park.

Best. Day. Of. My. Life.
BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!! My boyfriend and I went out for the 7 am tour (HIGHLY recommend the early slot, we were literally the only people out on the water!!) with Hana and Meredith who were absolutely AMAZING!! Since we got out before all the other tours, we saw an eagle ray, a Galapagos shark, two octopi, AND A SEA TURYLE!! It was quite literally the most glorious day of my life and Hana and Meredith could not have been better guides. If/when we come back, we will most definitely be booking w Kona again!!🌸☀️💕

Family Snorkel Day!
A wonderful charter experience that was easy going and supplied everything we needed so was stress free Led by Captain Mitch and Riley as guide. The 10 person boat was great to avoid crowds and get in and out of site with ease. We had one family member not comfortable with the ocean/snorkleing but the guide and captain made her uncomfortable with the experience she was in the water the entire time! We saw beautiful coral reefs and a multitude of fosh along with spinner dolphins chasing our wake. The captain and guide were top notch and very knowledgeable about the marine life and history of Hawaii. Can’t wait to call them and book next trip to the Big island.

Worth booking!
Christian is such a knowlegeable teacher and steward of Hawaiian culture, history and nature. He made the hike informative yet entertaining and our family of 6 learned so much and had fun! It was a beautiful view of Kilauea volcano and the nighttime stars. A magical experience that we highly recommend- thank you Christian!
