A Very Pleasant Experience
We had a very pleasant experience. Our driver Ed was very personable and knowledgeable. RTH is a very long trip, so it was nice to have a friendly driver to help us pass the time. Ed asked all of us what we wanted to see the most so we all could have a great experience.

Best tour and tour guide!
Definitely a must do on Maui. Despite the long drive, it was 100% worth it and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting. Our driver Marty was extremely knowledgeable and knew all the best places to stop. We definitely recommend taking the tour rather than driving yourself.

Great trip!
The tour was wonderful. They provided warm fleece hooded blankets which was really helpful with the cold weather at the top. The breakfast was delicious and the views were incredible. Everette gave us such great explanations and history along the way. You could do this cheaper and on your own but this was 100% worth not dealing with the hassle and having someone experienced take you. We were back in time to enjoy the rest of the day at the pool!

This was truly a...
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one of the most unforgettable nights of our trip! Watching the sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea was absolutely breathtaking. The views were unlike anything we had ever seen.
Kella was an AMAZING guide! She was so knowledgeable throughout the entire tour and took the most incredible photos for us, giving us beautiful memories to take home from such a special experience.
As if the sunset wasn’t amazing enough, we were lucky enough to see a volcano erupting in the distance and even spotted shooting stars across the night sky. Standing on top of Mauna Kea surrounded by such incredible scenery felt completely surreal.
From the breathtaking sunset to the volcano, shooting stars, and amazing photos, this was a night we will cherish forever. An absolute must-do on the Big Island!

Never Forgotten!
Visiting Pearl Harbor’s military museum with my wife was a deeply moving and unforgettable experience. Standing in a place where so much history unfolded gave us a greater appreciation for the courage, sacrifice, and lives forever connected to that day.
It was more than a visit—it was a moment to pause, reflect, remember, and honor those who served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸
A powerful reminder that freedom comes with a tremendous cost, and their stories should never be forgotten.

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.

Best all-around tour of the day
Felix was phenomenal! Our tour ran on time all day. The information that he provided really sewed the trip together as we traveled from our first stop at the Kona coffee farm through the stargazing in multiple locations. The clean fans were very comfortable for our small group tour. Felix make sure that we were well hydrated and had plenty if snacks. I’m sure the other tours were good that day, but if you didn’t have Felix, I’m sure that you were missing something.

Very good tour! ❤️🔥
My partner and I were really looking forward to this tour, and it didn’t disappoint! Mel was our guide, and we were very impressed with his seemingly endless knowledge of the island, and the general organisation of the trip. Our group was pleasant, and of course Mel made sure we had/knew all that we needed to at each stop. It was a long tour for sure, i.e it can be more than 10+ hours long depending on how everyone goes regarding punctuality, and it’s a pretty long drive to get to one side of the island and back all in a day but Mel and the people in our group made it a fun experience nonetheless. Would highly recommend! Thanks for having us guys!!! Mahalo 🤙🏾

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!

Benefited from knowledgeable tour guide!
This tour made a lot of stops to enjoy most of the volcanoes experience. Our tour guide Jill was very knowledgeable about the local history, hawaiian lore, fauna and the science about the volcanoes. Enough time was given to enjoy each stop. We really enjoyed the lava tube.

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 day out
Very interesting full circle island tour.
Getting out and seeing more of the island and learning more of island life and hawaii history and culture was great. Ian was a very friendly and professional guide, I would definitely recommend this tour and guide.
