Half Day Private Road to Hana Tour with Pickup

Jamie_B, Sep 2026

Have them drive so you can enjoy the ride!

This is a beautiful winding ride through the jungle. It is best to let someone local who knows the road do the driving so you can just enjoy the views of the flora, fauna and lovely waterfalls. Our driver Nick knew the best spots and was knowledgeable about all the places we were seeing. We would definitely do it again!

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

Taylorannef27, May 2026

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!

Must Do Boat Day on Oahu!

We had the best day with Kaden & Koa! They are so friendly and knowledgeable. They navigated perfectly and took us to an amazing snorkeling spot and then we went on the lookout for the whales. It was so exciting to see them as they also shared interesting information we wouldn’t have even known to ask about. We loved every minute and would definitely sign up to spend another day with them when we come back to O’ahu.

Deluxe Professional Photo Session: 2-Hr Oahu Look

_S88JH, Mar 2026

Highly recommend

We had an absolutely fantastic experience renting a convertible from Yaroslav in Hawaii. He took us to some of the most beautiful spots on the island, and the car itself was stunning—a Ford Mustang convertible with a memorable, unique design. Everything was top-notch: the service, the drive, and the overall vibe. I highly recommend Yaroslav if you’re looking for a special, unforgettable adventure—everything was perfect!

Fun and unique way to explore Honolulu

We had such a fun time with GogogoCars Photo Tours in Honolulu! It’s a really unique way to explore the city and see beautiful places around Waikiki and the coastline. The little cars are super cute and perfect for photos. The whole experience was easy and enjoyable, and the team was friendly and helpful. It’s a great activity if you want to see Oahu in a different and memorable way. Highly recommend it!

West Oahu Whale Watch & Turtle Snorkel with Whale Guarantee

lauriehO4203XY, Feb 2026

This is an absolute must do experience on Oahu!

Steph and Joanna took us on an amazing adventure! We saw turtles, spinner, dolphins, and many whales! We had a wonderful snorkel adventure followed by some amazing whale watching! We were able to watch a mama and baby whale along with their escort for more than an hour. Totally blew us away! They made sure we were comfortable, shared a wealth of information about all of the ocean creatures. The videos we were able to get are truly amazing! We felt like family by the end of our time with them. They truly love their jobs and we loved learning from them. We've been on a lot of snorkel/watch tours and this is by far the best trip we've ever had! Mahalo!

Grand Circle Island Tour

deloress19, Sep 2025

Kona- Customized and Hospitable

MIEXIA was referred to my friend and I by another driver that was unable to accommodate us due to time constraints. We assumed Miexia would be priced out of our league as his vehicle was a nice Mercedes van clearly able to handle large groups. Not only was he reasonably priced, he proceeded to give two senior ladies with challenges a tour of Kona that left us feeling as if we had found a new home with built in family. We saw the Big Island’s sunny side with highlights of local businesses, a coffee farm, chocolatier, and parfumerie. We not only had a tour we both left Kona with a new friend. As a side note,, I left my phone in the van, MIEXIA moved heaven, earth, and NCL to get it back to me before the ship left. Sincerely service with true compassion.

An amazing experience that I will never forget!

The views were awesome! I 100% recommend! You get to explore so many places and learn so many new things on top of it! Our tour Guide Summer was a once in a lifetime experience. Her light, positive energy, and happiness make the experience so much better! All props to her! I cannot wait to share the experience I had with friends and family! If you’re debating on booking your trip. This is your sign. Book that trip, you will not regret it and if Summer is your tour guide you will have that much more fun!
