5.00All day your bit worth the time. Able to see so much of the entire island of Hawaii from coffee plantations to waterfalls, beaches, volcano nato all park and the city of Hilo. We learned so much about the history of Hawaii and the ecosystem of Hawaii that would have never picked up by going on my own. Mia, our tour guide was fantastic and I would recommend asking for her if you decide to take the tour. One last comment, we had 10 people in our group and everyone, could not be nicer. From all over, more, Australia, Chicago, and California. Highly recommend
Outstanding Tour!!

5.00Full day filled with island magic!. Coffee, bakery, beaches, sea turtles, volcano, water falls , and views to die for! Be prepared for a lot of walking, and stairs. Scott our driver was awesome! So knowledgeable and entertaining! He shared much of the island history as well as local places that we might want to check out! It’s a great way to see so many of the island highlights in one day and let someone else do the driving!
