Traveler Reviews

Even though it was raining, but that is not unusual for Hilo, the sightseeing was breathtaking. Our guide Dre was awesome, and would highly recommend getting him if you have a choice. He went the extra mile and showed us extra sites and pictures that made the trip even more interesting. This was a last minute addition to our tours, as our original tour with a major competitor was cancelled due to lack of people. Glad it worked out this way.

Our tour was five stars all the way. We were only on the bus gor a few minutes when Giovanni spotted two big green sea turtles sunning themselves at our first stop. This was the beginning of our day's adventure. Giovanni is just what you want in a tour guide...knowledgeable, personable, funny, and passionate about Hawaii!

Even with it raining, we had a great time. Love every stop. Wear water shoes and bring rain geer. Warmest rain i have ever been in

A lot of beautiful and interesting things to see and enough stops to keep it from feeling like a long tour. We really enjoyed Volcanoes National Park. Our guide Dre was awesome! He shared a lot of great information and interacted very well with everyone on the bus.

This excursion was so much more than we expected. We had just the right amount of time at each location. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the locations and history of the islands.
I would highly recommend this tour!
