Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide
Really great tour and tour guide!
Activity Date: 2025/06/20 | Posted on: 2025/06/22

This was a great experience. Getting to see the observatories and look out over the clouds above everything on the Big Island was really amazing. Watching the sunset and then doing some star gazing was awesome. Very happy with everything.

Kohala Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Paddling & Snorkeling Adventure from Waikoloa
A great paddle and snorkeling adventure!!
Activity Date: 2025/06/19 | Posted on: 2025/06/21

We had a fun time on our canoe adventure and snorkeling at a special area with just the 3 of us. We saw a lot of beautiful fish and our snorkel gear was great! Our guide Kai was very friendly and attentive to our safety on the canoe and in the water. It was a bit tough for us to get back into the canoe after snorkeling but he worked with us and we made it!! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and it will be a very special memory for us all! Thank you Kai!

Big Island Backroad Adventures - Water & Fire Private Volcano Tour with Meals
Fantastic custom experience
Activity Date: 2025/05/16 | Posted on: 2025/05/18

Shawn is super polite and well educated in many topics regarding the lava, plant life, history and sites on the islands. He was particularly helpful in suggesting to us to change the itinerary so we could see the active eruption and we are so happy he made the suggestion. 100% well worth the private tour. We changed things up and kinda called audibles throughout the day and Shawn was all about it. We had a great dinner and the day was a total success. Thank you.

Waipio Shuttle - An Exceptional Guided Sightseeing Tour of Waipio Valley
Wonderful Wai’pio tour

We had a great driver/tour guide in Omar. He shared his love for the valley where he was born and raised with such joy and we felt like we got an insider’s view. The personal anecdotes about his family, and tales of fishing, hunting, canoeing, surfing, etc., really made the tour come alive for us. The overlook provides a stunning view but going into the valley provided a rich context for life of the Hawaiian people who have lived off the land and sea for generations. The valley is such a special place, a piece of history and way of life beautifully preserved; I feel blessed and privileged to have had this experience. And we even met one of the wild horses.
