Unforgettable Mauna Kea Sunset and Stars
Our Hawaiian Eyes tour to Mauna Kea was spectacular and absolutely worth the price. It was wonderful to have someone else handle the driving while sharing knowledge about the land and culture along the way. Standing at the summit felt like being on Mars, with its red, rocky terrain and massive telescopes, including the NASA telescope.
Our guide, James, was wonderful: personable, and very clear about directions, expectations, and safety. He’s also a great photographer and took photos of us at every stop. At the end of the tour, James went above and beyond, searching for just the right cloud-free spot to photograph us under the star-filled night sky.
We highly recommend this tour company, and James in particular, to friends and family visiting the island!

Best experience ever
We had the most amazing experience on our **Road to Hana tour**, and we truly have our incredible tour guide, **Lisa**, to thank for making it so special!
From the moment we met her, Lisa was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. She made us feel like we weren’t just guests on a tour, she made us feel like **family**. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and enjoying every single moment of our day.
Lisa was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating information about Maui, its history, culture, and all of the beautiful places we visited along the way.You could truly tell how passionate she is about Maui and how much she loves sharing the island with others.
She was also incredibly accommodating and attentive to everything we needed. She made sure we were comfortable, checked on us throughout the entire day, and made us feel so well taken care of.?Her kindness and personality made the entire experience feel so personal, honestly, it felt like we were spending the day with a friend who just happened to know everything about Maui!
The Road to Hana is absolutely beautiful, but having Lisa as our guide made the experience **even more unforgettable**. She made us feel right at home and created such a fun, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere.
We are so grateful that we got to experience this incredible day with Lisa.,She helped make our honeymoon even more memorable, and we will always remember her kindness, warmth, and hospitality.
**If you’re thinking about booking this tour, DO IT! And if you’re lucky enough to have Lisa as your guide, you are in for something truly special

A Fantastic Tour!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our tour guide Aaron on the Big Island. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. He shared so much interesting information about the island, its history, culture, and beautiful scenery, making the entire tour both enjoyable and memorable.
He was also very attentive to everyone in our group providing snacks and cold water. We were able to see all of our desired sights and he even took our photos at various locations.
We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Hawaii. He truly helped make our visit unforgettable! 🌺🌴☀️

Vega party of 4
It started out a little stressful....the meetup time was a mixup. Viator text me a meetup time at 2am. The excursion company meetup time was 2:50am...so by the time we were at the meetup point, we couldn't locate anyone. I called and the agent on the call was not too helpful. But 20min in, Everette showed up with a very helpful attitude and apologetic and picked up us quickly. The rest of the excursion was AMAZING! We loved it. And thank God Everette had warm panchos for us! ;)

The sunrise in the morning is amazing, but definitely listen to the advice to dress for cold, windy conditions! It is so much colder up at altitude then down at sea level in Maui, so bring a warm jacket and be mesmerized when the sun comes up (as Mark Twain wrote). Also, the breakfast afterwards was terrific.

Great tour with Mel. Lots of good spots around the island and plenty of time in the park with lots of views of the crater as well as steam vents and lava flows. Mel provided really good narration throughout the tour offering lots of details and stories.

Best tour ever
This is a must! John our guide was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable and participated in with all of our adventures. You will see everything from waterfalls to eucalyptus trees to the beautiful black sand beach. This tour is a must if you are in Maui. If I could leave 10 stars I would. This was an amazing tour, so much fun! I definitely highly recommend

Inter Island travel was nbd, make the trip and see the volcano!
Mel was great, provided lots of great information and a dash of humor. The van was perfect, modern with charging capabilities for electronics and very comfortable. We made numerous stops as we made our way to the volcano, all important to understanding the islands characteristics. Our day gave us a small glimpse of lava, no fountains but enough to scratch the itch to see. I did one day travel from Oahu, even with flight issues (a cancellation and maintenance problems) the tour group kept things on track and low stress. Really enjoyed the trip, and highly recommend.

Perfect guide.
Very pleasant, personable, and knowledgable. Out guide provided the perfect amount of commentary along the route. She made an extra effort for us to catch a rare fountaining. She seemed genuinely excited and pleased at being able to access sites closed until that day due to hurricane Lala. Highly recommended.

Escape to the North Shore!
Great day had by all! We were a party of 8 - adults and teens! Sam - our driver- was right on time- very friendly and knowledgeable! He used a microphone so everyone can hear fun facts about the island! Perfect snorkeling, food options, kayak, SUP, and North Shore shopping. The kids said it was their favorite day! Going through the rainforest was cool too- the mountains were amazing!
The van was clean, and reliable. Would highly recommend this for all. Must do!
Pro tip: Bring water shoes!

Book the flight!
The best experience, almost had to cancel because of the weather early AM but the team was accommodating and told me that I could wait and do a flight later in the day. Worth every penny, sights you can only see by helicopter. Our pilot was amazing, very knowledgeable about the island. Smooth ride besides alittle bumps here and there from the wind (to be expected). Got proposed to after the helicopter and an unforgettable experience. If you're thinking about booking, do it!

Great tour Chief Rob is sick!
It's a great leisurely day, not much walking- you get to see the whole island- lots of driving!! Chief Rob Was a great guide he was very knowledgeable and funny and an impersonator to boot!! He really "Crushes" it! Such a beautiful island to see! You put a lot into one day then you can always go back if you want to at a later time !
