What are people saying about Hawaii

Maui: Majestic Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Pick-up

kurtweishaar, Apr 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely unforgettable experience!

If you're visiting Maui, do NOT skip this tour. Watching the sunrise from the summit of Haleakala is something I will never forget, and our guide Everett made the whole experience truly special. He was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and magic of the island with our group. Pickup was seamless and right on time, and Everett kept everyone informed and comfortable throughout the early morning ride up. The fleece ponchos were a lifesaver at the summit, it's cold up there, but totally worth it! The sunrise itself was breathtaking, watching the light break over the clouds from 10,000 feet is something words can barely describe. After the summit, we toured more of Haleakala National Park before sitting down to a wonderful breakfast. The whole morning was perfectly paced and felt effortless thanks to the incredible organization of the Valley Isle Excursions team. A huge thank you to Everett for making this such a memorable morning. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Maui, this is a must-do!

Big Island: Mauna Kea Summit Tour with Free Night Star Photo

janjimenez, Apr 2026

Best guide ever

Went to Mauna Kea 20 years ago. Such a wonderful memory yet found the tour even better. Advice—Seek out Frances as your guide.. he’s a fountain of knowledge, having worked on the telescopes at Maunakea and will enthrall you with stories of history, geography, and so much more. Wonderful experience.

Maui: Haleakala Sunrise Spectacular with Local Breakfast

Jack_K, Apr 2026

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.

Brandy_K, Apr 2026

Fantastic tour. There was...

Fantastic tour. There was so much to learn and see. You can go completely at your own pace and do as much or as little as you like. Very easy to follow directions and it uses your phones GPS, so it knows which road you are on. 100% recommend it for anyone wanting to do some site seeing without booking a tour guide.

Tour Convert

It was wonderful to get picked up and dropped back off at our resort. Our guide, Mel, was courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. The selected stops on the itinerary were special and well rounded. Mel was a good driver and we felt safe on the road. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. The group size of 8 was perfect. We had enough time and didnt feel rushed. I have never opted for a tour experience before, but going forward, its the best way to experience vacation special locations.

Apurva_L, Apr 2026

Review for Derek at Wasabi Tours

Derek was an incredible guide—so interactive, informative, and genuinely hilarious. He kept us laughing the entire time! Even though we missed the volcanic activity at the viewpoint, it started up while we were at dinner nearby. Derek immediately took us back on a detour to try and catch a glimpse. He is a wonderful, jolly, and amusing guide who truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Kauai: Waimea Canyon and Koke'e Tour

David_D, Mar 2026

Great Tour, fabulous Tour Guide

Johnna was great! Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable! She is good people! Very caring as well. We had someone get sick and she made every effort to insure they were ok. The views were simply amazing, especially for Jurassic Canyon! OMG! STUNNING!! Overall, nice, easy bus trip. Definitely minimal walking, so if that is what you expected, then you want to look at something else. I’d take it again, especially if she was the Guide.

Such a treat!

What an amazing once in a lifetime chance to tour around the island. Four of us did a 15 minute loop. Our pilot Herb was terrific as were the rest of the staff. Clear instructions. Safety conscious. The coastline. The waterfall in the mountains. It makes you think there might be a god after all. A grand time was had by all.

Oahu North Shore Experience: Waimea Waterfall & Beach Time

Samiuddin_A, Sep 2025

Great way to experience North Shore! Sam is the best!

Great way to experience the North Shore! Sam was an unreal guide! One of the best we've had and we've done a lot of tours. A true local with awesome stories that kept the ride very interesting. Got to spend hours snorkeling at Shark's Cove, lunch, and explore Haleiwa. 100% worth it.
