5.00Our tour guide Dave Chappell was friendly and knowledgeable. They accommodated us very last minute because I entered the date incorrectly on a different tour. They go above and beyond on customer service. Both sets of falls were amazing and our entry fees were completely covered for the falls and the Volcano National Park. They also brought us sandwiches, snacks and drinks! We highly enjoyed our tour and recommend Aloha Aina to you!!
Beautiful and worth it.

5.00We had limited time while visiting the island on our cruise. This tour offered a comprehensive way to see the many sites. Our guide Dave did a great job accommodating everyone’s needs. There was a small mix up in the beginning about where our tour was supposed to be going, but it ended up better than we expected. We got to see some unexpected sites including black sand beach and ended our day with viewing sea turtles and a double rainbow. Highly recommend!
Great experience. Amanda...
