Hilo Nature & Wildlife

Thank you Steven for a great day and tour! We had a blast! And a big thank you for sending me my lost sunglasses! I am grateful for your kind heart ❤️ looking forward to a Hawaiian visit again and touring with you!

We had a great experience from beginning to end. Steve was very responsive and helpful. Our tour guide Amanda was very nice and knowledgeable. We enjoy learning about the culture. We were provided with a great meal, wich provided sample of local food. This was a nice unexpected touch. Overall, I was very pleased with the service. I would definitely recommend touring with Aloha Aina.

Absolutely fantastic I would recommend this tour to anybody I didn't actually book the tour myself a concierge at the hotel did so I did not realize we were going to Fisher 8 if you want to see something out of this world go on this tour the tour guide Amanda was amazingly fantastic snacks the food the drink very very adequate what you needed the knowledge that Amanda new about the island and everything else happening unbelievable the tour itself for fissure 8 the gentleman that owned the property Chris wow he is so passionate in what he does what he wants to say we get top of fiissure 8 and the distruction that happened we feel humble very humble of what has gone so if you want a tour this tour this is the one.

It was an excellent journey and had great experiences. Tourist guide is awesome, he had plenty of knowledge about area as well as the history of island. I would definitely refer to my friends n family.

Great tour, beautiful experience 👍👍. I really recommend this Company for your shore excursion we visited a lot of spots.

Zach was very informative and provided ample opportunities to see the fantastic views, and take photos. Mauna Kea was a great place to see a lot, radio telescopes were actually being repositioned while we watched. Zach was great

It takes you to beautiful places (some off the beaten track) & is inspiring, & Andrew is an interesting, inspiring, kind, & informative guide.

We did a private tour today with our tour guide Amanda who took us to see green sea turtles, black sand, beaches & waterfalls! This was an amazing day. We learned so much about this beautiful island and saw so many beautiful sites. We came in on a cruise ship during bad weather, missing ports, and closed attractions. Aloha Aina stayed in contact with me and made the most amazing trip out of difficult circumstances. Everyone in this business is outstanding. I highly recommend them and will definitely use again..

Steve our guide and driver was friendly knowledgeable arrived on time to pick us up. He suggested places to visit and we picked and chose where and how long to stay. We stopped at Black Sand Beach, Hawaii Volcanoes NP, Hilo for lunch, a waterfall and an overlook and more. We saw a lot of the Big Island and Steve bought our lunch.

We had an amazing time with Aloha ʻĀina Tours! Visiting Fissure 8 and then witnessing the volcano eruption at Volcanoes National Park! Once in a life time experience. Our tour guide was Steve. Hands down the best guide and gave us all the time we wanted to visit the park. Kris was our guide at Fissure 8 - he truly loves his community and we learned so much from him. Thank you so much! Highly Recommend!

This tour was the highlight of our Big Island trip! We were on a cruise and booked just a few days in advance—so glad we did. We visited Hilo, Fissure 8, beautiful gardens, waterfalls, with plenty of stops to get out and enjoy short walks. Steve was a fantastic guide—informative and fun. He played the ukulele for everyone :) . We also met Kris who was the fissure 8 guide. Shared many stories! Highly recommend!

This was a great tour! Our tour guide Anni picked us up on time. Anni was a great source of the island geographic and cultural elements paying special attention to our needs. She transported us to the Mauna Kea visitor center first where we spent about 45 minutes acclimatizing to the elevation (about 9000feet). Then it was on to the top, almost 14000 feet (you need a 4 wheel drive vehicle for this). It was an unusually clear and calm day according to Anni so we got some great pictures. Then back to the visitor center where Anni shared some of the local fruits with us she had brought. From there we headed back to Hilo and visited a couple of local art galleries and a beautiful downtown park. Anni then returned us to our condo by mid afternoon. An especially enjoyable tour made special by our guide Anni.

One of the better excursions on the island I enjoyed. Especially recommended if you are intrigued by observatories, lava flows and want something completely different. Recommended visits are for sunrise or sunset but we were there mid-day and enjoyed it any way - and only a light jacket was necessary with the sun shining. An expensive tour but it is a small group and the park requires four-wheel drive vehicles to go to the summit. There is a visitor center with several exhibits and souvenier shop at about the 9,000 ft. level which regular cars can visit. The mountain itself has a variety of different kinds of lava, lots of different observatories which you can walk around but not enter. Several peaks have Hawaiian shrines on top which you can view from the distance and the Rainbow falls was an added bonus. The guide was very experienced and provided lots of commentary during the trip. He also provided water, snacks and heavy coats if desired. Overall, I was very impressed.
