E Bike Volcanoes National Park Tour

Volcanos National Park e-bike tour

Jade led our e-bike tour through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and absolutely made the experience. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the volcanic landscape, the geology, the history, and the unique plants and wildlife we encountered—and she shared it all with such genuine warmth and enthusiasm. The e-bikes made the terrain accessible and fun, and Jade's attentiveness to our group meant we felt safe and supported the entire time. What really stood out was how much she clearly cares about sharing the magic of the park with visitors. We had such a wonderful time pedaling through lava fields and native forests with her guidance. If you're visiting the Big Island, this tour with Jade is an absolute must-do. Five stars, no question.

Mauna Kea Hike and Stargazing with Native Hawaiian

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!

Amazing first day on Oahu!

This tour was amazing! Diego offered two options... One was free while the other was way more focused on the entire Cacao and Rum experience... We did that one. I'm just appreciative on giving us options. He called us about a week before so we could plan our day. He was able to send a link to help with the tickets so we didnt have to worry about it on our tour day. He stayed with us the entire time helping guide us on where to go. The whole tour was 6 hours but everything timed perfect. He picked us up at the Honolulu pier, held our bags and at the end got us to our hotel with plenty of time to get to our Luau... Couldn't have asked for a better first day on Oahu! Mahalo Diego!

This Private Big Island: History & Local Market Tour was with Wayfind Hawaii. This tour picked us up at our resort! Our guide was friendly & knowledgeable. He listened to what we wanted to do the most. Local market was fun. The History sites were interesting to visit. We got to see Green Sea Turtles!

Makapu’u Point Lighthouse Guided Hike

Christine_T, Sep 2025

Lighthouse tour with Nicole !

The walk to the lighthouse was about a mile up a small incline. It had beautiful ocean views, but be prepared as it was very humid. . We wore hats and had plenty of water. Our tour guide, Nicole was very informative, fun and a safe driver. We were the only ones on the tour so it felt personal and she was entertaining! If you want a fun beautiful experience book with Nicole.

Our wonderful experience on the Big Island

The Volcano tour was amazing. We loved the amount of information and personal touch by Shawn. It was great to have everything arranged from personal transportation to meals to park passes to gear to personal pictures. Shawn made this trip a memorable one for us as we learned a great deal and loved all that the Big Island has to offer. Thank you, Shawn.

Very good service

From the beginning we were attended by Elijah via WhatsApp. Via Email, you don't care, you ask for answers and someone else replies and never complete answers, except for sending invoices Finally, two tours were contracted, Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. He confirmed Elias and we made the full payment. The next day we were immediately sent the invoice. Once hired he gave us ample information about everything. Yes, they have great service experience. Days before arrival we sent an email and we were answered by another person with a reply that was not for Us, however he sent the correct one and everything in order. We talked to Elijah again and everything was ready. Already on the island, the customers very well served and have been satisfied.

Oahu Private Honeymooners and Lovers Tour

Guerajess, Jan 2020

Amazing!! A must!

My husband and I were on our first trip to Hawaii and came across this tour, immediately caught my attention from the title. We've done a couple tours before so we were not expecting anything special to be honest but we were in for an awakening.Tony our tour guide arrived for us at our hotel greeted us with a nicely decorated mini van along with some chocolates. He had a beautiful crown of flowers for me as well as flower necklace for both my husband and I. Tony was by far the BEST tour guide we have ever had. Very friendly, laid back, very informative and he hust shines his love for Hawaii. He took us around Oahu to the best and most beautiful spots. We have a ton of amazing pictures. He also took us to a delicious local restaurant.Aside from the beautiful views we had the trip was very relaxing and peaceful. Tony made us feel more like family rather than customers.Aside from Oahu a couple days later Tony flew with us to Maui. He took us up the road to Hana, we hiked up to the most beautiful amazing waterfall such an unforgetable expirience. He also took us to the Red Sand Beach as well as Black Sand Beach which are very beautiful as well.I am extremely pleased with the attention we received on both tours and am very appreciative it was way more amazing than i could have ever though. I 100% percent recommend!!!
