Not to be missed

It's a long day, so would recommend doing it early in the trip. Preston is amazing at explaining the history and context to what we saw (at the summit and along the way). The views were spectacular and not to be missed (with the right weather conditions ofc). Definitely don’t skip breakfast.

Road to Hana is a must see!

Great all-day excursion traveling to Hana - this part of the island is beautiful but not sure I would want to drive the local road on my own! Great to have a knowledgeable tour guide to share his knowledge of the sites and some Hawaiian history including cultural folklore.

Aloha Sunshine Tours Are the best

Awesome tour with Mel and Aloha Sunshine Tours. Mel had a wealth of knowledge of the island including important dates, facts and information about Hawaii and its volcanos. Pick up and drop off from our resort was awesome plus. There are so many tours to choose from, and you hope you pick the right one, but we struck gold.

Fabulous Hilo Tour

Jill was a fabulous tour guide. Highlight of our tour was seeing the March 10 eruption at Volcano National Park! Rainbow Falls was breathtaking as was Liliuokalini Gardens. The Big Island chocolate factory was a great stop too - especially all the delicious samples. Jill was great with communication pre-tour. Highly recommend this company & tour!

Oahu North Shore Experience: Waimea Waterfall & Beach Time

Ron_T, Feb 2026

Best Oahu Experience We Had!

What a great experience! Fun activities and plenty of time to enjoy them. Our tour guide/bus driver/camp counselor was Sam. He was very knowledgeable about Hawaii (or more specifically Oahu) including everything from Hawaiian history and culture to what movies were filmed at the various locations we passed. He was also very entertaining and took a personal interest in each of the guest. Since it was a small group Sam helped make sure everyone got to know the other “campers”. Everyone had a choice of two activities, which no matter what you did was quite special by the very fact that it was in a beautiful location - lbicycling on a bike trail next to the perfect beach, hiking up a tropical river valley / botanical garden with a waterfall at the top of the trail, kayaking from the beach into the Hawaiian “jungle” (we’ll sort of), to shopping In an old Hawaiian one street town known for its shaved ice. And what I really liked that was very special and different about this tour is that you had enough time on your own to enjoy what you were doing without feeling rushed. And then on to the next adventure!!! I definitely recommend this tour, especially if you don’t like those “everyone back on the bus in 10 minutes” 40+ people bus tours.
