Ray was an amazing tour...
Ray was an amazing tour guide. He had everything taken care of for us. Snacks, beverages, chocolates, and even some surprises. We loved the tour so much we booked another with him the next day. All the best sites were included in the Hilo area, and everything was very personalized to accommodate the tour group. The tour vehicle itself is pristine and designed for smaller groups instead of a larger tour bus. Would highly recommend.

Andrew Rocks! Best experience!
Andrew was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, a fantastic guide/storyteller, and made us all feel safe. He is great at what he does! Seeing all the scenic parts while hearing about hawaiian history, the caves, the stars! Everything was so worth seeing. Doesn't even feel like hours had passed. Plus the hot chocolate at the end 👌 🍫.

A terrific tour!!!
Can't imagine a better experience! Justin is an excellent tour guide! The tour van is his own and he keeps it in excellent condition. The tour is well organized with enough time at each of the stops to get a good experience of Hilo and the surrounding areas. He gets you as close to the volcano as you possibly can. The visit to the lava tube, the Rainbow Falls stop and the sea turtles stop are also memorable highlights.

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.

I rarely write reviews, but Daniel made it impossible not to. Out of all the tours we’ve taken, this was by far the best. Daniel was incredibly knowledgeable, shared interesting stories that made the drive fly by, and took us to amazing places. His energy, humor, and passion made the entire experience fun from start to finish. If you’re looking for an unforgettable tour, ask for Daniel—you won’t be disappointed! Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

Sam the man in the van
Our experience with the very knowledgeable Sam was a magnificent one. He was engaging, entertaining and educated us for the whole tour on the history of Hawai’i and volcanoes. Sam treated passengers more like friends than tourists as he navigated questions from all angles. Sam is a bloody legend!! Thank you for a brilliant trip.
