Intimate island tour with a knowledgeable guide
Great small in a van with 8 total guest with a knowledgeable guide! Such a interesting Volcano National Park drive with a lava tube tour. Plus multiple other volcano sites. The large turtles at the black sand beach were adorable. Lilluokalano gardens were pretty, sign up for this tour it was unique.

Best tour guides on the island!
Desmond and Anthony started the day as strangers to us. Within a very short while we really felt like we had known them forever. How so? Their demeanor, kindness, thoughtfulness, and engagement with the whole of the group, plus their passion and enthusiasm not only for the tour but also for people too make it so.We loved their sense of humor, much needed when the weather turns a little bit wet! They know and love their homeland so much you can feel it oozing from deep inside them. What a team! What a great couple of guys! So kind, so friendly, so knowledgeable and so much fun. You will laugh, you will smile for days afterwards and you’ll cry when you have to say farewell at the end of the day.

Rae was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide, who took us to a variety of interesting locations and provided a value-for-money experience; and this was despite the inclement weather from a nearby hurricane and the closure of many state parks.

Excellent Volcanoes National Park Tour from Hilo
We really enjoyed our Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park tour from Hilo. Everything was very well organized from the moment we got off the ship. Our guide was wonderful — she was both our driver and tour guide and did an excellent job. The bus was comfortable, the group was small, and the lunch was excellent.Unfortunately, the much-anticipated Episode 55 eruption didn’t happen during our visit, but we still saw and experienced so much. When the black sand beach became unavailable, the itinerary was adjusted to include Akaka Falls and Rainbow Falls instead, which was a great alternative.A very well-organized and enjoyable tour. We would definitely recommend it!

Seeing the volcano was the main event, but the Queen Liluokalani Gardens were beautiful. The Rainbow Waterfall was one of the more memorable falls on my trip. I learned a lot about volcanoes from Kemo. He was the best!

Best of Hilo/Best tour guide Kimo!
We travel quite a bit, and this was one of the very best tours we have been on. We went not only to volcanoes national Park, but to the waterfall tour and historic downtown Hilo but what made the trip the most enjoyable was our tour guide Kimo. He was extremely knowledgeable and very, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend him for any tour.
