“Just came back from a tour with Kawika. Best tour ever! Loved it! He was incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much about the island. Had a really fun and interesting time!”
Six hours from Hilo to Kilauea sights, a lava tube walk, and black sand beach turtles, with guide-led stops and park fees included.
“I booked this tour independently of my cruise ship and made all arrangements on my own, including transportation to the tour’s meeting location. On the day before the tour, I received a text stating that one of the three couples had canceled and that if the vacant spot could not be filled by 6:00 pm, my tour would be canceled. I was then offered a “semi-private” tour with the other couple (if they would agree – which they later did) at a slightly higher price. I declined—both because the tour was already expensive and because waiting until 6:00 pm would have left me with no realistic alternatives if they canceled.…”
Small group Big Island tour with Kona coffee, sea turtles, Volcanoes National Park, lava tube, and twilight stargazing. Meals and pickup included.
“We enjoyed the tour very much. Our driver/guide Felix was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in every way. We saw the most amazing scenery along the way as he explained and informed everyone about what we were seeing. The only thing reason why I didn’t give five stars is because the food provided was pretty horrible. Of course tour isn’t about food so don’t expect to be impressed with food. Overall it was a great experience from the drive to the coffee farm to the end of the tour watching the stars.”

“Our family had a great day riding on the bus around the Big Island. The bus was comfortable to ride in and had big windows to look out. Our bus driver was full of knowledge about the island and was engaging with the people on the bus. We would have missed out on all of the history, if we had driven around the island ourselves. We didn't have to worry about directions to the next stop, missing a turn, or finding a place to park. The amount of time spent at each location was enough to soak in all the beauty Hawaii has to offer. I would highly recommend the…”
