An unforgettable day on Oahu with Mayra!

We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Oahu with Mayra! We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children, and everyone truly enjoyed the tour from start to finish.The route along the east coast was beautiful, with so many amazing stops and breathtaking views. Diamond Head, Halona Beach Cove, Makapuʻu Lookout, Waimanalo Beach, Byodo-In Temple, Chinaman’s Hat and China Walls were all highlights. We had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take great photos without ever feeling rushed.What really made the day special was Mayra. She was incredibly friendly, attentive and accommodating, and made sure we saw everything worth seeing. She shared interesting information along the way, took great care of us and was also wonderful with the kids. We felt very comfortable with her throughout the entire tour.It was the perfect way to discover this beautiful part of Oahu. A fantastic private tour and a wonderful experience for the whole family.We would definitely book with Mayra again and can 100% recommend this tour! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

Don’t pass on a great tour!

Our visit was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Maui! My wife and I had an incredible lunch in the Treehouse as part of an amazing tour and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.Our guide, Sean, was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about what he does. We learned so much about chocolate farming, production, and processing—things we had never even considered before. Sean answered all of our questions and made the tour both informative and engaging.The chocolate tasting was phenomenal. Every sample was delicious, and it was clear how much care goes into every step of the process. We were also really impressed by the farm’s commitment to sustainability and giving back to the local community. It’s refreshing to see a business so dedicated to making a positive impact while producing such exceptional chocolate.If you’re visiting Maui, don’t miss this experience. The Treehouse lunch, the tour, and the chocolate are all fantastic—and if you have the chance, ask for Sean. He made an already amazing experience even better!

Excellent food , bike and local history tour!!

Booked tour based upon TA review. Family and friend group of seven, 6 adults, one tween (12 yo). Bikes, helmets and water supplied. Bikes in excellent condition, comfortable “cruiser style “seat. Easy shifting gears and 95% of tour was flat , easy riding. Our tour guide Kelly, was fantastic! Very personable and shared a wealth of information. We saw and ate a places that we never would have dreamt to visit without booking this tour. The food, the history, the tour was excellent . I highly recommend this tour, plenty of food, water and bathroom breaks are built into the tour. You will not regret it. Come hungry!!

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 experience all around!

Myra was a very knowledgeable and caring tour guide. She contacted us before our tour to make sure that everything was In place. She was on time and was very flexable with the itinerary. She wanted to be sure that we were satisfied with the plan. She supplied snacks and water and took us to a great local place for lunch. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and especially Myra as a tour guide.
