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.

Great experience
Zip-lining is awesome. For the four of us, all in our 60s and 70s, it was the highlight of our two weeks in Hawaii. The safety protocols in place were excellent and assuring. The guides were professional, confident and fun. On each of the zip lines a guide went first. Highly recommend it.

A great day of sightseeing and getting to know our guide.
This was a great tour! Our tour guide Anni picked us up on time. Anni was a great source of the island geographic and cultural elements paying special attention to our needs. She transported us to the Mauna Kea visitor center first where we spent about 45 minutes acclimatizing to the elevation (about 9000feet). Then it was on to the top, almost 14000 feet (you need a 4 wheel drive vehicle for this). It was an unusually clear and calm day according to Anni so we got some great pictures. Then back to the visitor center where Anni shared some of the local fruits with us she had brought. From there we headed back to Hilo and visited a couple of local art galleries and a beautiful downtown park. Anni then returned us to our condo by mid afternoon. An especially enjoyable tour made special by our guide Anni.

Loved it. A surprising find at 14,000 feet.
One of the better excursions on the island I enjoyed. Especially recommended if you are intrigued by observatories, lava flows and want something completely different. Recommended visits are for sunrise or sunset but we were there mid-day and enjoyed it any way - and only a light jacket was necessary with the sun shining. An expensive tour but it is a small group and the park requires four-wheel drive vehicles to go to the summit. There is a visitor center with several exhibits and souvenier shop at about the 9,000 ft. level which regular cars can visit. The mountain itself has a variety of different kinds of lava, lots of different observatories which you can walk around but not enter. Several peaks have Hawaiian shrines on top which you can view from the distance and the Rainbow falls was an added bonus. The guide was very experienced and provided lots of commentary during the trip. He also provided water, snacks and heavy coats if desired. Overall, I was very impressed.

Mixed experience
I'd rate my ride from the airport to the hotel as a 3 and the ride from the hotel back to the airport as a 5. On the first trip, the driver called me while I was still on the plane. He texted me to call him, but I couldn't, and he seemed a little put off that I didn't answer my phone. When I finally got off the plane, his directions for finding him were hard to understand, and he got impatient when I expressed confusion. He was chatty on the ride to the hotel, but he was very opinionated and blunt in his manner, and it was uncomfortable. It made me feel bad about my chosen vacation plans as well. I appreciate that he was on time and that the ride was safe, but it left me with a negative feeling based on our interaction.The 2nd trip was perfect. The driver called ahead asking to pick me up a little early to make sure I got to the airport on time. I really appreciated that. He was friendly and professional and knew exactly where to drop me off based just on my airline. He showed me where to go and was very helpful.
