A great way to see the volcanoes and some Hawaiian history

Loved this tour and it’s no surprise Big Mike is booked out! It was very convenient as Big Mike picks you up and drops you back and the cruise ship. We enjoyed visiting the volcanoes and all the other places we stopped. Big Mike is a local and his knowledge and stories was terrific. He has really thought through his tour experience and will ensure you enjoy your day. Thank you Big (King!!) Mike, we loved our day!

Volcano Erupted!!!

Anthony and Desmond were outstanding tour guides! They had so much knowledge and even had like a little hands on museum in the van during traveling. It was so enjoyable! To top it off we did see the Volcano erupting for real! It was life changing. Lunch was amazing at a cute Hawaiian spot. I got the Loco Moco!!! Wonderful day!

Excellent and a must take tour!

This was one of the best tours I have ever been on. My husband and I flew in from Oahu to Hawaii just for the day. The tour guide, Amanda, was incredible. She was waiting for us when we got off the plane and from the moment she picked us up was engaging and accommodating. She has so much knowledge of Hilo and the island of Hawaii and shares it in an understanding and very interesting manner. She took us everywhere and informed us of the best views and photo spots at the beach and waterfalls. She shared the history of the volcano, the current and past eruptions, the makeup of the volcano and the chemical reaction that is currently happening. She knows the landscape of Hilo, the vegetation and migration of the plants. She knows history of what country and people contributed to the development of Hawaii. She is so interesting and what she shares is fascinating. She is proud of her tours and loves the company she works for praising them for treating her so well and providing tours that people enjoy. The van was clean and comfortable. She is a great driver. The bento box lunch was delicious. She provided beverages and made the day very comfortable. This is a tour worth taking and I hope all of the guides are as enjoyable as Amanda. Working with Cool Destinations is very easy too.

Our guide Ken was very interesting and informative. He took the time to answer all questions and make sure that we were safe and aware of our surroundings. Good tour guide for all ages. Educated us on the culture, but didn't talk to excess.

Perfect day out in Hilo!

This tour is well timed to see all the Hilo highlights. I came specifically for the volcanoes, which did not disappoint! The stops at rainbow falls and the black sand Richardson beach were also beautiful. Between the farmers market, the candy company, and the macadamia nut store, I was well fed and checked off all my gift shopping. Aaron is full of interesting details and great food recommendations. Highly recommend!

Mahalo, Daniel!

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our tour, all thanks to Daniel! His vast knowledge of Hawaiian culture and the fascinating diversity behind it truly set this experience apart. At every single stop, he was engaging, kind, and packed full of great information. He was also super thoughtful about taking group photos for us, ensuring we got amazing memories together as a family. We couldn't have asked for a better guide—mahalo, Daniel!
