Great tour guide. Great tour. Easy, affordable and VERY worth it !
Raymond Georges was an excellent tour guide. Not only was he very knowledgeable of his homeland, but his love of the Islands and his family (O'hana) immersed us into his world. He arranged our tour according to what we requested, but we also trusted his judgment to take us to places he knew visitors would want to experience. We felt very safe with his driving. And we appreciated that he had local bottled water and snacks available.On Maui & Kauai we rented a vehicle since we had 2 days, but with Kona (and Hilo) I totally recommend using Hawaii Island Insider Tours instead because it was so very EASY!! We didn't have to Uber to the airport and go thru the hassle of getting a rental. Instead we just got off the tender boat (or ship in Hilo) and there he was...waiting for us with a big smile. We just hopped in his vehicle and off we went to explore Kona! It was a perfect day!

Took the waterfalls and volcano tour. Absolutely wonderful. A small family owned and operated business, with tons of local knowledge and advice on things to do. After a day with them I didn't feel like a customer, I felt like family. Highly recommend for anybody wanting to see the beauty of Hawaii and learn cool history.

Volcanos National Park e-bike tour
Jade led our e-bike tour through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and absolutely made the experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the volcanic landscape, the geology, the history, and the unique plants and wildlife we encountered—and she shared it all with such genuine warmth and enthusiasm. The e-bikes made the terrain accessible and fun, and Jade's attentiveness to our group meant we felt safe and supported the entire time. What really stood out was how much she clearly cares about sharing the magic of the park with visitors. We had such a wonderful time pedaling through lava fields and native forests with her guidance. If you're visiting the Big Island, this tour with Jade is an absolute must-do. Five stars, no question.

One of the best tours that I have ever taken in all of my travels. Our driver was very knowledgeable, great stories and historical points. The hike was beautiful and rewarding. They worked with me on my last minute change to my pickup point without hassle. I definitely know who I am calling the next time I come to the biggest island in Hawaii.

We did the stargazing hike with Kalaninuimehameha while visiting Kona. It was truly the most amazing experience of our trip. He was so knowledgeable and fun. It was incredible learning about the Hawaiian culture. Then add in the star gazing and our night was made. I highly recommend doing a tour with Kalaninuimehameha! I will do more next time I’m here for sure! Thank you Kalaninuimehameha, you were amazing!

Great Day
I took the Hilo Finest Waterfalls and Town tour with Hannah Kealoha Adventures while our ship, the Celebrity Solstice was in Hilo for the day, and I enjoyed it very much. It turned out I was the only one on the tour, so it was very personalized. We saw most of the places on the itinerary, and it was especially nice, since I was alone, that the places were completely uncrowded. The Farmers Market is very small during the week, and we did not go to the candy store. I needed some things that I did not want to buy on the ship, so the guides were flexible enough to take me to the local Target, where I was able to pick those things up. It was a very pleasant day and a low-key excursion. It was like touring the area with friends.
