Best Small Grouo Hilo & Beyond Tour!
We had the best small group tour of Hilo & beyond. There were 8 in our group, so we moved ahead of the coach bus crowds at every stop and had a great island tour in a new van with Rae. He makes sure everyone has what they need and provides a safe, informative, & fun tour. It was a comfortable day that had many stops, including 2 at the volcano park, light hiking THROUGH a lava tube, a few shopping stops for chocolate & macadamia nuts, and a black sand beach if your group votes to stop there. The coastal drive is also beautiful, Rae is a great guide who’ll make sure you have an excellent tour of his beloved island.

Wonderful…highly recommended
Aaron is an amazing guide! A Hawaii native, we got to see Kailua volcano emitting lots of steam/smoke…just missed the lava by 15 minutes…viewed the volcano from 2 sites, experienced a steam vent, went to a local street market in Hilo and had amazing fish tacos…tasted like the fish had just been caught! Interesting goods for sale, tourist oriented, of course, and even sourdough bread and espresso for sale…live music played in the background! Then through the lava tubes underground…then to black sand beach…amazing how soft the lava sand was…saw interesting trees and a siting of 2 sea turtles…also to Rainbow Falls with a strong torrent flowing over lave into a deep pool below…he was pleasant to spend time with and shared his personal experiences needing to hunt, fish and raise vegetables to feed his extended family during the pandemic and still hunting wild pigs for food! Great tour, charming, personable guide…could not have been better!

The day our Tour he modified his normal route, attempting to catch the last few minutes of an eruption. The lunch provided at the Farmers Market was excellent! Highly recommend this tour! 6 stars.

Very enriching experience!
This was a very organized, polished tour. It was great to have the commentary, visuals, artifacts, and music in the van in between stops. Tour guides were excellent and very accommodating! Would highly recommend this tour. We were only in town for the day and I feel like we got to see a lot.

Our guide Jill was...
Our guide Jill was excellent. She is an owner of the tour company and native to the island. While we could have done most of it by car, her insights were very helpful. As a bonus she took us back to see the new lava just starting to flow from the volcano. It erupted 4 days later.

Great day trip!!
Aaron was great! We ended up doing a full day rather than the half day we initially booked. I am so glad we did this tour instead of just renting a car. Aaron is local and was a delight to interact with. He kept tabs on all of us (8 total) and an eye on the time. We loved being picked up and dropped off at our cruise ship—he was very easy to find. Aaron’s love of the area is clear and we benefited from his enthusiasm. Van was comfortable and clean, and Aaron was an excellent driver.

This was our first time...
This was our first time being in Hawaii and wanted to find an activity to do with friends. Amanda, our tour guide was AMAZING from the start. She greeted us with such kindness. During the drive to each activity she educated us on Hawaii’s detailed history. She took us to see plenty of hidden gems! SUCH a great experience, HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!

Great tour guide!
Our tour guide, Karen, was the best! She made us feel welcome and shared many of her own experiences in relationship to the places we were seeing. Despite the weather being foggy and rainy up on the mountain, she made our day most enjoyable!!! Rainbow Falls was one of the highlights of the tour!

Perfect way to spend the day on the Big Island
Want to experience the beauty of the volcano, waterfalls, the culture of Hawaii and be part of an Ohana “family”, then this is the tour for you. From the pickup, Justin will welcome you with open arms and bring you into his Ohana. Justin is well versed in the Island of Hawaii and its people. Throughout the tour, Justin shares his knowledge with you and you truly benefit from the sights and words he provides. Aside from the normal sights, Justin has a few surprises for you along the way. One of the best tours I have been on. Mahalo Justin.

Great Volcano tour
The tour picked us up at the port of Hilo in a nice van. The guide is local and gave us an interesting tour of Hilo and many interesting facts & stories about Volcano National Park. We stopped at 5 places inside the park - Visitor Ctr, main viewing area, steam vents, lava tube walk through and park entrance sign (photo opp). He purchased local fruit which he cut and shared after the last park stop, as well as water bottles. Definitely a great tour!

Great day!
Our guide Ellen was great. She filled the day with interesting information about Hawaii and volcanoes. The state park was really cool. The lava tubes and seeing the volcano was really fascinating. Definitely recommended to see multiple Hilo sights in one adventure.

Amazing Volcano National Park tour
Our Volcano National Park tour was amazing! Another tour company canceled at last minute, but we were able to get our private tour booked quickly. Our guide, Katelynn, was very friendly and knowledgeable about all of the stops we made, including Lili’uokalani Gardens and Rainbow Falls. Katelynn shared lots of history during our Volcano National Park tour, asked about our interests and hiking skill level, and brought us to the best viewing areas. She even shared her experience with a lava flow near her home. Overall, our trip to Volcano National Park was amazing. We would definitely book another tour with Katelynn again in the future!
