5.00The Island/Volcano tour with Wasabi is the greatest. They are efficient, serve good food and great snacks, informative, and fun. Jason gave us lots of info and answered all kinds of questions, even being willing to say he didn't know. He provided fun island music and safe driving the whole time. We had enough time at most of the stops so we could look around and enjoy the ambiance. I highly recommend this company.
Great

5.00The day is long, but you know that when you book the tour. I think it was absolutely worth it; you really do get to see all the major highlights of the big island and we were lucky enough to see episode 38 of Kilauea erupting. Kevin was a great tour guide and knows alot about Hawaii. There are bathrooms at nearly every stop we made, and bottled water and snacks were available. It's about 3.25 miles total walking for the day if you visit all of the stops on the tour. Some stops are more accessible than others, and you will encounter steep inclines and stairs at certain points.
Excellent overview of the Big Island

5.00The Big Island in a Day tour with Henry was truly outstanding and the highlight of my time on the island. Henry was personable, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, weaving history, culture, and local stories into every stop in a way that kept the whole group engaged and entertained. He managed the day seamlessly, from timing and comfort breaks to photo stops and helpful tips, so all we had to do was relax and enjoy the breathtaking views. Henry’s warm personality and professionalism turned a great itinerary into an unforgettable experience, and this tour is highly recommended to anyone wanting to see the best of the Big Island in just one day.
Perfect tour of Hawaii

5.00We had an unforgettable day touring the Big Island with Todd! He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and full of positive energy. Throughout the trip, he shared so many fascinating facts about Hawaii’s history, geology, and culture. Thanks to Todd, we got to see the beautiful black sand beach, sea turtles, and the spectacular volcanic landscape. He took us around the entire island, making sure we didn’t miss any highlights. Todd truly made the experience fun, comfortable, and educational. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting the Big Island — you will have an amazing time!
