A must book!!!
Justin was amazing!! He was so informative and willing to make things work. We had some rain in the morning and he was still making the most of our visit. By the time we went to the first stop the clouds cleared and it was blue sky’s the rest of the day and Justin got us to every stop and seen all beautiful landscapes. 10/10 would highly recommend this tour and tour guide Justin. He was so fun!!!

Cold but so worth it!
We had a wonderful time with our guide, Everett. The drive up to Haleakala was great, just early! It was cold up at the crater! I recommend packing a very warm coat, hats and gloves. That being said, Everett provided warm fleece coverings to everyone and they made a difference. If you have a really warm coat you won't need the fleece but if your coat is not keeping you warm, the fleece is so helpful. The morning sunrise was spectacular and a highlight of our trip. It was worth the early morning, the long ride up and the cold weather. We stopped at a really cute, and delicious, restaurant on the way back. The stop had a really cute store as well! We highly recommend this tour!

I would definitely...
I would definitely recommend travelers to book an experience like this if they want to explore the road to Hana rather than drive themselves. It was much more relaxing and you get to learn about the culture and different parts of the island. Our tour guide Quinn was great and knew so much! He also made sure we all felt ok and didnt get motion sickness. There are many breaks so you can stretch your legs and buy some goodies, like the delicious banana bread! The only thing I would suggest for the company is to limit the booking to 12 or 13. Although the van technically holds 14, its very cramped in the back, especially in the corner. It would make the experience a lot more enjoyable for everyone!

Volcano Natl Park
Be prepared for a 10 hour tour, with getting off and on the bus at points of interest enroute to the National Park . Be flexible if there are changes due to road or weather conditions. Be courteous and respect the driver/tour guide; this is their area of expertise.

Road to Hana
We had such a fantastic time on this trip. The waterfalls were mind blowing and Scott the driver did such a good job entertaining us on the way to Hana and took some amazing photos of us at all the famous stops along the way. The helicopter ride back was an added plus and made the trip magical.

Very Good experience!
We spent longer time than expected to see the sunset and the stars. My tour guide John was very nice, kind, and knowledgable. He had warm clothes and a lot of snacks prepared for everyone. He also helped us take some photos. Overall I got a really great tour and I would really recommend you to book it.

Worth the Day Trip
Kevin was very chill and knowledgeable. His commentary seemed more organic rather than scripted. Loved how the company took care of the airline booking. No issues. Grab 100% Kona coffee from Joe’s. Not a lot of good food options at the Hilo airport at the end so make sure you buy extra food at the bakery in the morning. I regret not getting a loaf of sweet bread to go.

Beautiful Sunrise Tour
We went on 8/7/2026 and the weather was perfect at 55 degrees! Preston, our tour guide, was amazing!!! He really loves his job and loves telling the history of the island and the volcano. I wore a beenie, gloves, sweats, socks and Uggz boots. Tennis shoes would have been ok as well. The views, the guide and breakfast afterwards were all amazing and worth every penny !!

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!

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!

Mahalo!
Henry is a wonderful tour guide. He provided historical information and was just a pleasure to be around. He was funny and made everyone feel like ohana. We didn’t get to do the north side of the island due to flooding but Henry was accommodating and showed great resilience when we had to detour. It is a very informative tour and I appreciated all that it offered. Mahalo for great experience!
