5.00This tour was one of the best we have ever done. Justin is amazing!! Very personable, knowledgeable and attentive to each person in the group. He also was critical about staying on the time schedule so that we made it back to our cruise ship in plenty of time. Was great to be in a small group and Justin spoke and explained everything at each stop. Thank you Justin!!
Great time

5.00Such a good time. Justin is so good at what he does. I would tell anyone tomorrow go on his tour. The value was there and so was his knowledge.

5.00We had an amazing tour! Our tour guide Justin was so great. He was personable, funny and super knowledgeable. My husband and I took this tour during our honeymoon and we could not have been more pleased. Justin not only took us to the National Park and a candy/cookie factory, but since we were ahead of schedule, he showed us some things that weren't on the original schedule. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hilo. It is completely worth it.

5.00Justin was the perfect tour guide for the day and a genuinely great human being. If you want to support local, he's your guy! I'm currently living on Oahu and came to Hilo for a day trip with a friend visiting from Virginia. We ended up being the only two signed up for our particular date. Most tour companies would have cancelled and called it a day. Justin made an exception and took my friend and I for our own little private tour. Justin went out of his way to make it the best day possible, changing things around to make sure we saw just what we wanted to see. He knows the best spots, ya know, the ones only a local would know. Beyond that, we enjoyed great conversations while driving all around the island. He's incredibly easy going. He truly loves showing the beauty of Hawaii and giving his guests great memories to travel home with.
Support Local. Enjoy an Incredible Day

5.00Justin was a great tour operator. I appreciated his personal touches and sharing much more information than I thought we would get on this tour. If only he could have scheduled the next episode with the volcano to go when we were there ! Highly recommend this to anyone. I was very nervous about booking outside of the cruise line excursions. He was very conscientious about our time restraints and had us back in plenty of time!
