We had a wonderful coffee tasting experience! It was educational, engaging, and entertaining from beginning to end. We learned so much about the growing, harvesting, roasting, and brewing process, and the tasting was both informative and enjoyable. The ATV ride was a great addition and made the experience even more fun. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and memorable adventure!

Best Experience Ever!
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!

Once-in-a-lifetime hiking experience on the Big Island of Hawaii
Hiking with Backroad Adventures was hands-down the highlight of my trip to the Big Island. Shawn and Lisa were incredibly attentive and responsive to all of my questions, even before I officialy booked my tours. I joined them for both the Pololū Valley hike and the In-depth tour of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, and both were exceptional.My tours were well-organized, thoughtfully planned, educational and genuinely fun. Shawn's passion for Hawaiian ecology, especially native plants and birds, really stood out and added so much depth to the experience. I learned so much about the island's landscape, history, and cultural significance.What impressed me most was their flexibility and professionalism. Kīlauea erupted the day before our Volcanoes National Park tour, and they didn’t miss a beat. They kept me well-informed about the park’s status and seamlessly adapted the itinerary to ensure the day was still unique, safe, and memorable.An added bonus: they share photos from the hike digitally for your personal use, which is such a thoughtful touch and a great way to relive the experience.If you’re visiting the Big Island and want a curated, meaningful experience, I cannot recommend Backroad Adventures enough.

Fun drive around the farm with stops to pick some locally growing fruit. We learned a little bit about the different coffee farms that they owned, and local agriculture. At the end, we got to enjoy our fruit, some chocolate, and a few different tastings of coffee.

Private Hilo Shore Excursion – Volcanoes, Waterfalls, & Beaches
N1303ZJisabelc, Mar 2025
Amazing day!!
What we an amazing day!! We booked the Fire and Water tour. My husband and I had been to Kona several times before but were never able to make it to the volcano. Since that was our priority this trip, we reached out to Shawn for a private guided tour. We cannot say enough anazing things about him or our day. We were incredibly lucky in that the volcano has been erupting periodically for the last several months and there was a possibility that it might erupt during our visit. Shawn knew this was what we were hoping and so even before our tour day he was in contact with us. He had been following the volcano’s activity online to try to determine what day he thought we might have the best chance of seeing the volcano erupt. After picking us up from our hotel we visited several beautiful waterfalls. Shawn was incredibly knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna, the history of the island as well as all the volcanoes ( not just the one we were going to see). After the waterfalls we enjoyed a nice lunch and then headed to Volcanoes National Park . We toured the park with Shawn who showed us the highlights one of which was the vent where the volcano had been erupting .When we got to the park the volcano was only letting off gases. We continued through the park stopping at other points of interest and spending as much time at each spot as we wanted. Shawn had bookecd a table for dinner at the Volcano House which overlooks the volcano. We arrived at dinner only to discover that just at that moment the volcano began to erupt. It started out slowly and then over time was an incredible sight -a fountain of lava spewing 600 ft into the air. We ate dinner watching this spectacular sight right in front of us. After dinner Shawn took us to another amazing spot to view the eruption. It really was just so unbelievable to see. On top of all that , Shawn had everything organized for us and the day-snacks, warm jackets for the evening and headlamps. And on top of everything he memorialized the day in photos.Honestly it was just a magical day and Shawn is just fantastic!!

Girls Night at the Volcano
For our annual girl’s vacation we decide we want to come the Big Island. We were so lucky to find out the Volcano is erupting.! Wayfind Tour Company was so helpful in arranging the details! There is no way we would have wanted to make this drive ourselves at night!! We felt so safe and taken care of! What an amazing spectacle! Totally worth it! So much more fun with a knowledgeable guide to answer all our questions- even the sillier ones! The Big Island is our favorite vacation spot so far. Now we want to take Round the Island tour! Several of us are planning to bring our families.
