Absolutely amazing
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.

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.

An Ethereal Experience
The Kona Cloud Forest tour was the highlight of my entire Norwegian cruise of all the Hawaiian Islands. I quickly realized I was walking through an undisturbed rain forest and began to understand the special, unique connection of these living organisms. It really was an ethereal, other worldly experience.

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.

Great tour with Katelynn!
We had a wonderful day on our private tour of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park from our cruise ship, thanks to Katelynn! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well organized, and stress-free. Katelynn was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. She answered all of our questions with patience and shared so much interesting information about the volcanoes, the island, and the local history. The scenery was absolutely incredible, and having a private tour allowed us to explore at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed. Katelynn made sure we saw all the highlights while also tailoring the experience to our interests. It was truly one of the best days of our cruise, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii by ship. Thank you, Katelynn, for such a memorable experience!

Best snorkeling experience!
I had a great experience New Year’s day with Colin. It was my family of 5 and it felt very personal and fun. We saw dolphins, whales, and lots of fish. The snorkeling spot was awesome, and the food and drink provided was wonderful. They also have prescription goggles with was nice and the whole trip was very accommodating. Colin told us all about history on the island and went above and beyond with the history and sight seeing.

True taste of Hawaii
Dave was an amazing tour guide. He was super knowledgeable and was willing to customize the tour to match our needs. We were lucky to see many turtles and the Cloud Forest was a spiritual journey. Our guide Anna was well versed in Hawaiian nature and made the experience of a forest interactive. The coffee farm was scenic and we got to pick some fruit!
