As a Native Hawaiian born and raised in Hilo on Hawaiʻi Island, I’m not just showing you the sights—I’m sharing the home I’ve known my entire life. Every stop on this tour holds history, stories, and personal connections only a lifelong local can share. From Kīlauea and Rainbow Falls to local macadamia farms and the Hilo Farmers Market, you’ll experience Hawaiʻi through the eyes of someone whose family and genealogy are deeply rooted here. I blend cultural knowledge, local history, and genuine aloha with a relaxed island style experience. When choosing a guide, there’s a difference between visiting a place and growing up in it. My goal isn’t just to show you Hawaiʻi—it’s to help you understand it through the perspective of someone who has lived its traditions, respected its history, and proudly calls Hilo home. You’ll leave with more than great photos—you’ll leave with meaningful stories and a deeper connection to Hawaiʻi that only a born and raised local can provide.

What are people saying about Big Island of Hawaii

Kristen_C, Aug 2026

This was truly a...

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one of the most unforgettable nights of our trip! Watching the sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was absolutely breathtaking. The views were unlike anything we had ever seen. Kella was an AMAZING guide! She was so knowledgeable throughout the entire tour and took the most incredible photos for us, giving us beautiful memories to take home from such a special experience. As if the sunset wasn’t amazing enough, we were lucky enough to see a volcano erupting in the distance and even spotted shooting stars across the night sky. Standing on top of Mauna Kea surrounded by such incredible scenery felt completely surreal. From the breathtaking sunset to the volcano, shooting stars, and amazing photos, this was a night we will cherish forever. An absolute must-do on the Big Island!

Being on top of Mauna Kea...

Being on top of Mauna Kea was an incredible experience! Stargazing with such minimal light pollution and seeing the Milky Way was unforgettable. Wes, our tour guide, was a great driver and I'm glad we didn't attempt to do this on our own. 10/10 would recommend this experience.

This island is a massive, special and magical place! Our experience on this tour was brought to life and boosted by our knowledgeable and personable tour guide Henry. His way of storytelling and engaging all of us tour members is extremely top notch (he even had some of the people from other tours trying to listen in, he is that good at it!). We felt more than satisfied with the experience by the end and were able to see so many of the different things this island has to offer. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get an in depth glimpse at this amazing place in the world!

Kona Signature Catamaran Sunset Sail

Shereen_I, Aug 2026

Amazing sunset, good, staff and the dolphins were a major bonus!

We had read reviews before hand and excited about the possibility of seeing dolphins. Wasn’t looking like we would and out of nowhere we saw a massive school of dolphins, they put on a full show for us spinning all around. Truly beautiful! The chicken teriyaki was delicious. Another reviewer said it was like an appetizer, no it’s a full meal, it ended being our dinner. Staff was friendly and sharing cool facts. Although it was a little overcast the sunset was still very beautiful! Great deal and experience!

Hilo Shore Excursion: Volcanoes National Park & Black Sand Beach

Jennifer_R, Aug 2026

Best of Hilo is accurate!

This was a great trip that maximized our time in Hilo. We loved it and the variety was great. Our tour guide Ernie was the best! He even got an extra stop in there as he was able to keep the pace just right for us. We felt the timing was just right- there were a few in our group that had wished for more time at the Volcanos or black sand beach.

The legends and traditions of the Big Island really came alive thanks to the great narration. And the meal was way better than expected for a cruise like this. The very comfortable boat itself was clearly designed specifically for dinner cruises. A great, romantic or just educational cruise.

We had a fantastic submarine tour! The crew was friendly, professional, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish.

Not much more to say that everyone else hasn't mentioned! Great activity if you're roadtripping toward Hilo for the day. The first few zips were short which is great for younguns and new zipliners.
