Best of Hilo/Best tour guide Kimo!
We travel quite a bit, and this was one of the very best tours we have been on. We went not only to volcanoes national Park, but to the waterfall tour and historic downtown Hilo but what made the trip the most enjoyable was our tour guide Kimo. He was extremely knowledgeable and very, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend him for any tour.

Fun Tour with an Incredible Tour Guide.
Agnes took us on an incredible tour that we will never forget. She had a lot of knowledge and was absolutely personable. We felt like she had been our friend forever. I would highly recommend and would even do it again in the future.

Entertaining tour
Justin was an awesome guide, very entertaining with all kinds of stories but also full of information about all aspects of the area. I liked seeing so many places since we were only in Hilo for a day. There was just the right amount of time in each location. I learned from him that my birthstone Peridot is the mineral that gives green sand beaches their color. I enjoyed learning that since I’ve always thought it was a kind of an uninteresting birthstone. I highly recommend Justin’s tour.

10/10 Tour! Thanks to our amazing guide Justin!
We had an absolutely fantastic time on the Volcanoes, Waterfalls, Beaches & Hilo Highlights Day Tour yesterday! Our guide and driver, Justin, was simply wonderful. He was highly professional, knowledgeable, and kept the energy amazing throughout the entire 7 hours.The itinerary was incredibly well-planned. We were lucky enough to see the volcanic steam vents at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, walk through the mysterious lava tube, and witness the unique golden-colored waterfalls after the heavy rain! The stop at Big Island Candies for free coffee and treats was an absolute delight, and we even spotted wild sea turtles at the black sand beach.

Big Mike and Lehua Tours
Big Mike from Lehua Tours was absolutely tremendous. His energy and passion for what he does is first class. His knowledge of Hawaii and enthusiasm for looking after people is second to none. We strongly recommend him and his company to future tourists.

Volcanoes, Waterfalls & the Best Guide Ever
Agnes is the kind of guide you hope for but rarely get — warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to be around. From the moment she picked us up, she set the tone for an incredible day in Hilo. She knows SO much about the island, but she shares it in a way that feels like a great conversation, not a lecture. She welcomed every question we had (and we had plenty!), and she made it feel like she was genuinely excited to share more whenever we asked.She took us everywhere: an erupting volcano (yes, erupting!), local shops, a beautiful beach, waterfalls, gardens, and those massive banyan trees that make you feel tiny in the best way. Early on, she noticed how interested we were in the plants around us, so she started pointing out names, stories, and uses — and we even ended up tasting wild ginger on the side of the road. It was such a fun, unexpected moment that made the day feel even more personal.And when someone mentioned macadamia nuts, she didn’t hesitate — she made it happen. Agnes is flexible, thoughtful, and clearly loves what she does. Her car was stocked with water, snacks, and umbrellas, which tells you everything about how prepared and caring she is.This tour was one of our favorite experiences in Hawaii, and Agnes made it unforgettable. Book her — you’ll be so glad you did.
