5.00We are from Mexico and absolutely loved the tour. Our guide Kevin was excellent — he knew everything and was always very approachable for any questions. We were given a meal, and throughout the trip we had unlimited snacks and water available. The tour goes all around the island, truly a complete experience. We traveled from Honolulu to Kona, where we were picked up, and at the end of the day we were dropped off again — everything was perfectly organized. Totally worth it, especially if you have a full day to dedicate to it. You won’t regret it!

5.0011 hours, 1 island, and an absolutely incredible day! 🌋 Spent our first full day, first time visiting the Big Island of Hawai'i with an epic van tour and learned so much about the island's traditions, history, and people thanks to our amazing driver, Kevin. My brain is full of fascinating facts (and my memory is already failing me, haha!), but my heart is definitely full. The humidity is real, but the views are worth every second. Mahalo for the welcome, Hawai'i! 🌴
Great Tour and Tour Guide

5.00The tour included all the advertised events. We were able to make stops to take pictures and stretch. We spent an adequate amount of time at the beaches, which was what I hoped for. Our tour guide, Kerry, was awesome. He provided the entire history of the island, including specifics about each city, founders of the island, etc. Kerry also had a great sense of humor and was very respectful and polite. I highly recommend this tour!
