5.00Great day on the whole island tour. Scott was our driver, and he was a delight. Very professional and friendly. It must be hard work to entertain people in a van for 11 hours, but he did. The tour is a very easy way to see different parts of the island. The stops were really cool. There was more driving than I anticipated, compared to the time out walking. The van was pretty comfortable, but if you get motion sick this may be a long day for you. If my could somehow add an afternoon stop for dessert, that would be great. #dolewhip.

5.00This tour was exactly as described! We visited the major spots all the way around the island. Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved learning a little history along with the wonderful sites/views. Very happy that we picked this tour. It was amazing to sit back and relax as we traveled to do many spots. And we learned of a few other spots to check out on our own. Highly recommend!
Amazing tour!

5.00What an excellent day! We so enjoyed our time with our tour guide, Kona Chris. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and generous with his time. I like to ask many questions, and Kona Chris answered all of them. He is very entertaining and has a great sense of humor, so we laughed a lot. I didn’t feel bored at all while driving around the Island in the nice air-conditioned van. It was a fun time, and Kona Chris went above and beyond. The tour included all the water, food, and snacks, and we were all well cared for. I recommend walking shoes, a light rain jacket, and a small flashlight for the tunnel. I would highly recommend this tour and Kona Chris.Thanks, Wasabi Tours and Kona Chris, for a wonderful day filled with unforgettable memories!
