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.

Entertaining and informative Big Island experience
My extended family of 6 with ages ranging from 90 to 19 booked the Big Island in a day tour. While the tour encompassed a full 9-10 hours of the day, our guide Leon provided an excellent experience. He provided knowledge of the history island as well as the geology needed to understand the island’s origins. In addition, he made the journey personal by relying family and friends of his that lived in the various villages and towns that we toured through. My entire family enjoyed the outing which is no small feat given the variety of personalities. Thoroughly looking forward to another tour when we return to the Big Island. Highly recommended this adventure. You won’t regret it!

The café we went to for lunch was awesome. A great variety and massive portions. If you like pancakes get ready.

Easy to locate, even parking was easy. They had everything we needed and were very clear in where we were going and directions for our drop. The water was smooth and clear - great way to snorkel at Cook's monument. the earlier you pick up and go the better the water will be with fewer snorkelers in the water where a to of big tour companies go.

The guide was very informative and walked through the entire process from tree to store shelf. We also received some information about mangoes and Apple bananas. The couple we were with had taken a different tour before and didn’t get as much information as this tour.

Guided Outrigger Canoe Tour in Kealakekua Bay

Fantastic Outrigger Canoe Adventure
We participated in the outrigger canoe snorkeling trip. It was fantastic. Mal was an excellent guide and very personable. We initially were scheduled for one day but the company called to reschedule us to come a day early so that we could avoid bad weather. Thankfully we could make that work. Parking was a little confusing, but there ended up being enough street parking. During the canoe trip we got to snorkel with some manta rays and saw a lot of different fish. It was great being in a small group (no more than 8) of people for the snorkeling. The French couple we were with were very pleasant. Ehu and Kai provide life jackets for children and noodles for everyone while snorkeling. My septuagenarian father and 7-year-old daughter decided to stop snorkeling early and Mal showed them around Kealakekua Bay in the canoe. Ehu and Kai also provided snacks and drinks. This was one of our favorite events during our whole trip and was such a unique activity! I highly recommend.

A well-organized tour.
We visited many parts of Hilo and the national park during the well-organized trip.Chris was a friendly and informative tour driver.We rode in a minibus, not a large motor coach. So, after each stop, we did not have to wait a long time for all passengers to return to the bus.The length of the trip was just right.
