5.00This was by far the best excursion we’ve ever done! Miexia was punctual and we were amazed what we were able to do in a day! You wouldn’t be able to do this solo! Whether you’re in Kona or Hilo if you don’t spend a day with Miexia via Ohana Tours you are losing out! He is so entertaining and knowledgeable! He is Ohana and you will not want the day to end! Pure joy! The ride was so comfortable and the day hit all the bucket list items.

5.00Amazing experience! Got picked up at my hostel and then we headed to the coffee farm. We could taste some coffees. We then headed to a popular place to see the ocean and we even saw a whale in the distance! We saw turtles at a black sand beach. We went to a chocolate factory with delicious chocolate and macadamia nuts. We have seen two waterfalls. It was amazing to see the other side of big island because I stayed on the Kona side. Tour guide was amazing. Very kind and he could tell a lot about Hawaii and the places we have been to!
Great fun day.

5.00This tour is a very good overview of the Big Island. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about the island, Hawaiian culture and very personable for the entire trip. It takes a whole day but is well worth it. We highly recommend it!

5.00This is the perfect tour if want to see the entire island including Volcano National Park. Our driver and guide, Misha, was great and kept us entertained for the entire trip. You will not be disappointed and it’s worth the cost.
Yep, just buy it!

5.00Miexia was THE man! 🚐🌴 Took us on a full-on adventure around the entire island and somehow made every stop better than promised. Everything the package says you’ll do? Yep, plus bonus magic. The stops were fantastic, the sights were unreal, and DO NOT skip the mac nut chocolate and coco coffee… life-changing 🤌☕🍫 Pro tip: give Miexia a hard time before he gives you a hard time 😂 … all part of the fun. Absolute blast from start to finish. I’d 100% do this again the second I’m back on the Big Island!
Absolutely loved the tour I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the island

5.00We had an amazing experience on this tour and I can’t recommend it enough. Our guide was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and knowledgeable, and you could really tell how much he cares about what he does. He was right on time, super organized, and made everything feel easy and relaxed from start to finish. Even though we needed to stay on a schedule, he was more than happy to take small detours and make brief stops at places I wanted to see along the way, which made the experience feel very personal and not rushed at all. He shared so much interesting information about Hawaii and the local culture, and made the whole day both fun and informative. If you’re looking for a tour that’s well-run but still flexible and thoughtful, this is it. My first time going to Hawaii and this definitely won’t be my last I hope to return yearly and because of how awesome this tour is I would choose to rebook each time!!
