5.00We enjoyed our day. The sites were beautiful and it was great way to see the entire island in one day. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The Mercedes Sprinter was a comfortable ride. The tour is evenly paced so you are never in the van very long between stops. They provided a delicious lunch and great snacks along the way.
Great Way to See the Whole Island!

5.00I'd been to the big island three times and hadn't really gotten out to see much. This was a great way to see the highlights and identify what I might want to do more indepthly in a return visit. Kiwi Kerri was great and SUPER knowledgeable about Hawaii and the history.
Fantastic Big Island Experience

5.00We got a fantastic tour of the Big Island on the best tour company I’ve ever used. Leon, the tour operator, not only drove us in comfort to many iconic sites around the island, but, gave us Big Island history as well as the latest geological discoveries and plant information. The volcano sites were incredible and I would highly recommend anyone wanting to get a full island experience to book with this company.
Great stuff, plus many rainbows!

5.00Fantastic way to see so many great things. 1st time on Big Island and wanted to see a lot without doing the driving myself. Pickup was easy. Guide/driver Brett was very knowledgeable about things, especially volcanoes. The amount of care and concern he had for someone on the tour who has mobility issues was was telling about how much he loves showing this place off. Very glad I did this tour.
Kerry the Kiwi is the best!

5.00Kerry was the best tour guide we ever had. Very knowledgeable of the entire island and did a wonderful job interacting with the whole group the entire trip. It was amazing to see all the most popular sites on the big island without needing to personally drive to each of them.. he also pointed out many spots that we would’ve missed had we did it by ourselves. He made it for a very safe and fun trip.
Take this tour!!
