One of the best days on Hawaii!
Chuck_H, 06-02-2023
Loved the energy of our guide Drew.
He was so welcoming and I loved the stories he told. Very knowledgeable and respectful of the island & culture.
Professional, but fun & funny too.
Mindful of our time so we could see everything in a timely fashion.
A very pleasant day even though we had some rain, but it wasn’t a washout.
Great variety of Big Island experiences

Our guide Miexia was incredibly knowledgeable and a whole lot of fun. This tour is worth the money. It IS long - 300 hundred miles around the island and a good, solid 11-12 hours. The variety of experiences and Miexia’s narration of Hawaii history was top notch.
Awesome way to see a little bit of everything on the island!

Scott was a great tour guide. He shared stories from the island’s history, ensured we had enough time at each stop, and also provided snacks throughout the day. Would recommend as long as you know it’s going to be a long day!
The whole trip was nice....

I liked the Kilauea part of the tour. The tour guide knew a lot about the island. Takes around twelve hours for the tour but we were okay with that. Well worth the money.
