Ask for Rachel and the Hawaiian Guy

Rachel and the Hawaiian guy were awesome. I was very scared to do the zip line in the beginning, but they were very patient with me and encouraged me. I finally got the hang of it in the third zip line. Thank you so much.

Best. Day. Of. My. Life.

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!! My boyfriend and I went out for the 7 am tour (HIGHLY recommend the early slot, we were literally the only people out on the water!!) with Hana and Meredith who were absolutely AMAZING!! Since we got out before all the other tours, we saw an eagle ray, a Galapagos shark, two octopi, AND A SEA TURYLE!! It was quite literally the most glorious day of my life and Hana and Meredith could not have been better guides. If/when we come back, we will most definitely be booking w Kona again!!🌸☀️💕

Unbeatable Maui bicycle tour

Our family of five had a fabulous experience. The private tours were booked and I wasn't sure we would like the group setting as much, but Matt, the owner, has carefully considered and arranged every aspect of the tour to be excellent, fun and safe. Our picky teenagers and college student had not a single complaint and loved everything about the tour - equipment, thoughtful extras, gear, stops, instruction, rides to and from the route, instructors...every single aspect was very well done. It could not have been improved upon. Highly recommend!!!

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.

One of the best tours I have ever taken

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.

Absolute 5-Star Luxury Experience!

We booked the Private VIP Buzz Tour (Unguided) and it completely blew us away! Riding up Haleakala in the all-electric VW Buzz van was a total vibe. The perks on this VIP tour are unmatched: amazing breakfast, great lunch, and the best homemade treats you will ever taste. Going unguided gave our group the perfect freedom to enjoy the 19-mile downhill cruise at our own pace without feeling rushed. High-quality bikes, incredibly friendly staff, and free merch to take home! Easily the best thing we did on Maui. Highly recommend Maui Bombers!

NE Kauai Private tour with Orlando was great

Very enjoyable day stopping to see or quickly explore various locations on North and east side of Kauai. Orlando met us right inside the harbor (we arrived in Pride of America) and we were quickly on our way in a very comfortable car. He drove very responsibly and provided lots of information about each location and highlights as we drove. They even modified the schedule when we wanted to walk out to the lighthouse at the Kilauea Lighthouse Wildlife Refuge as opposed to just stopping at overlook. When we stopped, Orlando typically gave an overview of the area and snapped a picture of us. Very pleasant tour!

Great tour with Katelynn!

We had a wonderful day on our private tour of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park from our cruise ship, thanks to Katelynn! From start to finish, everything was smooth, well organized, and stress-free. Katelynn was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. She answered all of our questions with patience and shared so much interesting information about the volcanoes, the island, and the local history. The scenery was absolutely incredible, and having a private tour allowed us to explore at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed. Katelynn made sure we saw all the highlights while also tailoring the experience to our interests. It was truly one of the best days of our cruise, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii by ship. Thank you, Katelynn, for such a memorable experience!

BEST TOUR EVER

Captain Jane and Deckhand Kona were absolutely phenomenal!! They made sure we were safe and that everyone on board had an absolute blast. We were fortunate enough to be able to see all of the sea caves and snorkel and the views were breathtaking. Captain Jane and Kona were super knowledgeable of the coast and the history. 10/10 recommend taking a boat tour with this company!!
