Our full day on The Big Island

5.00The Big Island Tour with Wasabi was so worth the money. It was a small enough tour to make it personal. What makes a tour is always the Tour Guide in our opinion. Well Henry as we call him “Enrique” did not disappoint in the least. This man knows his Island and shows every bit of pride In the history, his heritage, the agriculture and all there could possibly was to know about this beautiful place he calls home. All we can say is we are sold and will be looking to make this our new home. Henry we hope you don’t mind having us as neighbors. I will be booking future tours with this company and will definitely make referrals to friends and family. Wasabi keep Henry in your payroll because this man knows his business and knows how to keep his audience engaged. Thank you so much for making the very long day seem like a very short one. We have learned the true meaning of ALOHA!

5.00We had an absolutely outstanding experience on the Wasabi Tours Big Island Grand Circle Island Tour—truly one of the highlights of our time on Hawaiʻi Island. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organized, and thoughtfully paced, allowing us to really take in the incredible diversity of the Big Island without ever feeling rushed. Every stop felt purposeful, from dramatic volcanic landscapes to lush valleys and scenic coastal viewpoints. It’s the kind of tour that gives you a real sense of the island’s scale and spirit. What really made the day exceptional was our driver and guide, Kerry. He was superb—deeply knowledgeable, engaging, and effortlessly personable. Kerry struck the perfect balance between sharing fascinating cultural, historical, and geological insights while also giving us space to simply enjoy the views. His storytelling made each location come alive, and his passion for the island was obvious in every detail he shared. He also handled the long day on the road with ease, keeping the group comfortable, on schedule, and in great spirits throughout. You can tell he genuinely cares about the experience his guests have. If you’re considering a full-circle tour of the Big Island, this is the one to book. Incredible scenery, a well-run itinerary, and a guide like Kerry who elevates the entire experience into something unforgettable.
