The trip was amazing! ...

The trip was amazing! From start to finish to notch. The duaghter and I decided we wanted a chill day on the island and decided to go on this adventure. We had Felix as our guide and he was the best. From the first minute he picked us up til the end. He allways made sure everyone was taken care of and his knowledge of the island was second to none. If we every make it back to the island would do this again!!

Big Island GOAT Experience: Mauna Kea Summit, Sunset & Stars

simone_h, Aug 2026

Incredible Experience

One of my favorite activities on our vacation! Incredible views on the summit that you truly cannot find anywhere else. It was definitely cold so pack layers. They do provide a parka which helped keep me warm, but I wish I brought a beanie and a thicker jacket. Our tour guides were amazing providing endless amounts of information on the island, volcano, space, etc. Seeing the stars in the sky were beautiful plus the additional objects in the telescope were out of this world! THIS IS A MUST DO!!!! Worth the money!

Maui: Haleakala Sunrise Spectacular with Local Breakfast

Cyndi_T, Aug 2026

Unique Experience

Unique experience. Yes, you get up in the mid of the night but worth it. Our driver also did a Hawai’i prayer at sunrise for us. The breakfast was much bigger than expected and a nice location. Just remember it is very cold at the top. Make sure you bring a jacket plus layers.

Maui: Road to Hana Deluxe Rainforest and Waterfall Experience

Virginia_M, Aug 2026

A long day of beautiful views!

We were picked up at our hotel at 6 am and didn't return until 6 pm. We stopped many times at bathroom facilities. Bring your breakfast; one of the first stops is a nice place to eat. Our tour guide, Chris, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and stopped at numerous places to take photos, have a great lunch (sandwiches, water) and swim in turquoise waters. Know that you'll be in the mini-van for a good part of the day and getting in and out many times. We stopped at waterfalls, black sand beaches and lookouts during the day. He pointed out all the sights at each stop. There are snacks on the way back. I do recommend you bring a water bottle with you to drink while in the van. Do not attempt to drive the road to Hana yourself. It is a twisting, winding, mountainous road with many one-land bridges. Fabulous excursion! Since this is a long day, I recommend you eat dinner at your hotel afterwards!

Our tour guide Wes was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and I appreciated the cultural and social commentary he provided on the relevant issues and current events related to Mauna Kea. Unfortunately the clouds impacted the quality of stargazing but we got a great sunset and Wes positive nature as our tour guide more than made up for that! I’d gladly have him as a tour guide and go through Hawaiian Eyes tour company again!

Road to Hana: Full-Day Scenic Drive with Blacksand & Waterfalls

lisa_c, Aug 2026

Exceptional day of exploring

Our guide (John) was very knowledgeable, friendly, and sometimes even funny. So blessed with our guide, drove well and was very open to suggestions, great story teller definitely has a passion for his job. Love the tour, not only do you get to experience more of the island than the small area of the resort, you get to hear history, see awesome views, see wildlife, and beautiful flowers/trees/vegetation along the way to the state park of Waianapanapa to swim on the black sand/smooth rock Beach. Highly recommend water shoes so even if you don’t swim you can at least wade a bit. Lunch was very good, had the six inch ham sub with water, chips were available but did not eat. Highly recommend this tour

Oahu North Shore Fun: Waimea Waterfall & Turtle Snorkeling

Elizabeth_E, Aug 2026

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!

Of the many activities...

Of the many activities I've done on the big island over the last 5 years, this is one I'll always remember! Jason, the Guide, was fantastic and super knowledgeable about all things Hawaii, geology and the cosmos. The views from the top (next to the observatories) are up there with the summit of Kilauea and Haleakala, the latter of which can be seen from this summit. A must see activity!

Oahu: 45 Minute Sights Unseen Helicopter Tour - Doors Off or On

Kyla_Z, May 2026

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!
