4.00Wish it would have included some of the north/ west beaches. Would have been nice to include a little map so that we could follow along and take notes and know where we have been and are going to next
Perfect island tour

5.00This was the best and most informative way to learn about the Big Island. Stefan was our driver/guide and he did a great job in keeping our group interested, informed and energized to be able to go the distance. He is a pro at what he does and it takes a special type of people person to captivate a diverse group for an entire day. So glad we booked this tour and we were very fortunate to get such a great guide that stays so knowledgeable about what this tour offers. Tom and Geri from Tucson Tom and Geri.

5.00We had only one full day on the Big Island during our Hawai’i vacation. We decided to take this tour so we could hit the highlights and plan for any future trips when we might have more time. We had a great tour. It was perfect for a day and we appreciated that we didn’t have to drive, figure out where to go or worry about paying entry fees or parking fees. Kevin was a fantastic guide and host. They served a nice hot lunch, plenty of snacks, and water & juice. Kevin knew all about the island and entertained us with stories and legends during the longer driving portions of the drive around the island. I would definitely recommend this tour to others and would even repeat it again. The price was extremely fair and the service went above and beyond.
