Great tour! Aaron was wonderful, knowledgeable, and caring of his tour guests. We learned so much and saw parts of the island we never would have seen otherwise. Even those of us who had been to the island before, some of them many times, saw new places and learned something new!

The Different Tree life is interesting. This is where our oils, healing meds. and nourishment comes from. The knowledge of knowing now, brings another level of appreciation.

Fully circle the island in comfortable Sprinter van. Darrell was a great driver and guide. The lava tube and Akaka Falls were my favorites and the Mona Loa caldera was so impressive. No lava activity but that’s ok. Highly recommend

I would highly recommend this tour! We were lucky enough to get Miexia for our guide. He made the trip awesome, with great knowledge of the island and Hawaiian history. He kept us on our toes with jokes and a little misdirection to make sure we were listening. Thanks Willy Wonka! Our group was great and Bill and Sarah “the good Dr” kept things interesting. The sights were breathtaking and best of all we didn’t have to do the driving. We had a great lunch and Miexia kept us well hydrated and snacked up. Aloha my friends!

This was one of the best tours I have ever been on and our Tour Guide , Meshia was the best. We saw so much of the Big Island in a day and learned the history of this great island. The time allotted for each stop at each was good and he even stopped at an unplanned fruit stand for us .. He was amazing and so personable.. we told jokes and all laughed with our group.

It was a great introduction to the Big Island. We came not knowing much so it was wonderful to be taken around to the main attraction of the island. All stops, especially the volcano national park, the falls, and Waipio Valley, were impressive. Our guide Miexia (spelling?) was knowledgeable and really made our trip fun.

This was my wife and my first time on the Big Island. We were able to take this tour the first day and it was a great overview. Our guide, Todd, provided interesting information and was helpful at the various stops. I would highly rate all the key areas sites, guide, vehicle/driving, and food. The only negative of the tour was sharing a vehicle with a Mom who brought 2 teenage boys who didn’t listen to her continuous please to “stop”.
