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.

Well worth it!
If you want to maximize your enjoyment of The Road to Hāna, book this tour. It’s far better than driving this demanding road on your own. Plus, our guide Kobi was incredibly informative and fun and we learned so much about the flora, fauna and history of Maui. Great job, Kobi! Mahalo nui!

Very fun and informative...
Very fun and informative narration, accurate directions, made the drive from Poipu to Waimea Canyon very enjoyable. And economical.
Travelers should check ahead of time on road closure on last stretch to Na pali overlook so as not to be disappointed, as we were.

Great Day!
Great day! Ed was a terrific guide - he kept our van on the road and us entertained with lots of interesting information. Our tour wasn't able to go around the island, since a bridge was out, but we got to see the Road to Hana twice. Such a beautiful place!

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!

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.

Get up and go!!
It was an early morning wake up and pick up! Wife and I rolled out of bed and was met by friendly energetic staff! You are well prepared for the elements by the parka provided for us by the tour guides.
It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. Just do it!

The day is long but so...
The day is long but so very worth it. Our guide was awesome (Felix) made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. He has lots of knowledge about the island and was very entertaining. He went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our experience. Thank you for a great day!!

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.

Fantastic Tour-not to be missed-who knew Hawaii had snow!
We did the Maunakea Summit & Stars tour with Hawaii Forest & Trail on Thursday, February 12th, and it was outstanding from start to finish.
Jason was our guide for a group of 12 in a microbus, and he was absolutely sensational. He has a fantastic speaking voice (sounds like actor Jeremy Piven) is incredibly knowledgeable, and effortlessly weaves together Hawaiian history, cultural context, correct pronunciations, geology, and celestial science. His depth of expertise—especially around the night sky—made the entire experience both educational and inspiring.
He created a positive, approachable atmosphere for everyone in the group. Jason was attentive throughout the evening, making sure everyone was comfortable, well fed, snacked, and had ample time at the Stellina digital telescope for star viewing and photos.
The pacing was perfect—plenty of time at the summit to take in the observatories and views, without ever feeling rushed. The entire experience felt thoughtfully organized and professionally executed.
Highly recommend this tour—and if you can, request Jason. He truly elevates the experience.

Great Experience
The bus ride is very long and makes frequent stops on the way up and mostly on the way back. The driver was awesome. He knew so much about the islands history and many other things. It is much cooler at 9700 feet when they tell you to dress in layers and take extra, you should really do it.

Rainbow Helicopter Tour Oahu
We had to book this tour at the last minute because the tour we had booked canceled onus at the last minute and we really wanted to take this tour. The folks at Rainbow tours were so nice and knowledgeable. The pilot was very enthusiastic and did a fantastic job showing all the best places.
