BIG MIKE WAS AMAZING!
Michael T,May 25, 2026

5.00We had an amazing experience with Lehua Tours! Big Mike, the owner and operator, was an incredible tour guide and an even better person. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed the real Hawaiian way with leis, he made the entire experience feel authentic, personal, and unforgettable. You can tell he truly cares about sharing the culture, history, and spirit of Hawaii, not just giving a standard tour. His energy, knowledge, and genuine personality turned the day into a real adventure instead of just another excursion. If you’re looking for a tour that feels welcoming, fun, and truly local, I highly recommend Lehua Tours with Big Mike. Mahalo for such a great experience!
We love Big Mike!

5.00We took this trip with Big Mike yesterday! He was super knowledgeable about all the history and culture surrounding the big island and Hawaii in general. He took us to a lot of cool spots at the national park, took pictures for me and my friends, and was super accommodating to his guests. 10/10 absolutely would do it again!
Do not miss this awesome tour!

5.00We took this tour with Big Mike today ( owner/operator) Big Mike picked us up at the Hilo port where our cruise ship ,Pride Of American, docked. No Uber or taxi needed! He was prompt, his van was impeccably clean, and he gifted each one in our group a beautiful handmade eyelash lei. Big Mike knows his stuff, he schooled us on history, flora and fauna. We visited the Volcano Park , Rainbow Falls plus another "hidden" waterfall, sea turtles, black sand beaches, King Kamehameha statue, farmers market. We had lunch at an amazing restaurant that I think only locals know about Big Mike is funny and obviously passionate about his Island. The tour was worth every cent and after conferring with other cruise guests, much better. Do not miss out!

5.00Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. He even prepared slides about the island’s history, plants, and animals, and then pointed them out to us during the tour. My family really enjoyed his explanations. Although we were not lucky enough to see a volcanic eruption, the landscape of the volcano region was impressive in its own right. Our guide took us to several different viewpoints to see the volcano, and we really enjoyed the sightseeing!
Authentic, must-do tour

5.00Big Mike made us fall in love with the Big Island. All stops along this tour were well thought out and provided enough time to soak in all the beauty. Lunch was delicious. Mike was knowledgeable, fun and genuine. We really appreciated all the details like the handmade lay, chocolate covered macadamia nuts samplings, etc. Highly recommend Lehman Tours!
