5.00This was a very good excursion. Laid back and fun. Everything from hotel pick up to return trip to hotel was seamless. Stress free!! Sean was an excellent guide. His driving was very good and he was very knowledgeable. If we ever get to book this tour again, we will ask for Sean! Also, our driver from hotel to airport and back was very good!

5.00Sean took his time with our group, which was a mixture of handicap and older folks. He was patient and so friendly. He knew the culture and all of the stories of the islands. Took us to the most amazing views of the volcano's, steam vents, waterfalls. His went above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our group. He even made sure I got to climb and see things the rest of the group could not! He was the best! So glad we chose this adventure!
A dream fulfilled

5.00The volcano tour was amazing! Our tour guide Sean was fabulous. He was full of information and historical facts, as well as being a super nice guy! He took us to so many amazing spots after the volcano segment. Sean really went out of his way to be accommodating. We were the only family on this tour do it was a delightful experience.
Early start - but well paced day trip with Sean!

5.00The day trip is i tense with an early start but very well paced and an excellent t introduction to Big Island If you get Sean as your guide - he was great about helping us find coffee and local snacks, as well as being extremely knowledgeable about the history of the sights, Hawaii and Big Island, at a very reasonable pace. And probably this won't happen - but if you end up stranded in a Tsunami warning... fear not as Sean and the local company have your back!!! They all went over and above to make sure our whole group was safe and got back to Honolulu as early as circumstances permitted.
Nice experience
