Volcano Highlights Tour, Rainbow Falls, Black Sand Beach, Coffee Farm with Meals
Most Enjoyable Way to Experience the Island.
Activity Date: 2022/04/13 | Posted on: 2022/04/15

This tour is excellent. A great option for families and adventurous travelers looking to see it all in one day. From local coffee to black sand beaches to wineries to lava flows to lava tunnels to a charming sunset. The tour guys were knowledgeable and so kind and a accommodating. Shared their local stories and made sure all were comfortable. If you are looking to explore the island and don’t have a lot of time — this is the tour for you. If you want to see everything and get tips on where to go from some locals — this is the tour for you. Highly recommend 10/10.

This was a great tour - really educational and fun. Be prepared for rain, you are in the rainforest and it rains a lot. Our guide cam prepared with umbrellas and rain jackets, which was really appreciated.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide
Truly an out-of-this-world experience!
Activity Date: 2022/03/20 | Posted on: 2022/04/09

I’ll start off by saying our guide, Hiro, was excellent. From start to finish he showed that he was very knowledgeable about the subject at hand and proved to be very courteous towards everyone in the group. The veggie sandwiches that he brought along for us were surprisingly delicious.

The trip itself was amazing and truly a once in a lifetime experience. Naturally I was a little anxious at first considering the high altitude but our tour guide was sure to explain everything in detail and was very considerate. That helped ease my tension a bit.

The day that we left the weather proved to be in our favor and we managed to encapsulate all that this trip had set out to be from the start. The view from the summit was amazing and when we went down to s t a r g a z e once the sun fell the energy from the group was electric.

Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm
Awesome!
Activity Date: 2022/03/30 | Posted on: 2022/04/07

This trip was awesome! Beautiful scenery and lots of information from Dreu.
Dreu is a man of many hats, he’s hilarious and you have to hear it to believe the incredible lungs he has! (Have to join his tour to know what that means )

Many stops we made, random people would join us just to listen to Dreu. And they would remark how funny he is.

We had a coffee farm tour, saw many highlights of volcanoes National park, and did stargazing! It was amazing!

Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm
Bucket List Tour
Activity Date: 2021/10/19 | Posted on: 2022/04/06

Best day ever! I've always wanted to go to a coffee farm and it was a delicious way to start the day. Driving around the island, stopping at the black sand beach and the bakery was super fun. By far the best part though was seeing the volcano at night and the stars. Highly recommend this trip. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and made a long day super fun.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove
This is the best excursion
Activity Date: 2022/03/31 | Posted on: 2022/04/03

We travel to Kona every other year. We discovered the dinner cruise the last time we went and loved it so we definitely booked it again last week. This year was even better. The crew were ready to help anyone needing help. We were waited on and spoiled. The food was tasty. The historian did a great job as did the music entertainment. We took the cruise at the end of March which should have been too late to view a whale. One popped up right beside the boat. The captain steered the boat to try to follow the whale so we could get another view. It started raining later and once again the captain did what he could to take us out away from the rain. We will definitely do this the next time we return to Hawaii.

Awesome Day
Activity Date: 2022/03/30 | Posted on: 2022/04/01

Marcus was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. I usually don’t like this sort of activity, but he was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We all learned a lot about the forests and volcanoes of Hawaii and had a lot of laughs on the way. He modified appropriately between kids and adults. He was even training someone else and he still made everyone feel like a priority. There was a mixup with the food and he went way out of his way to make it right. I was very impressed. My whole family had a really great day.

A great day trip but a long day. I would recommend that this trip is done ex Hilo as opposed to ex Kona. The lava tube was excellent and exciting to get close to a live volcano. We had a great glow going on the evening we were there. Tour guide was informative and knowledgeable.

I really enjoyed the tour. Aaron was very pleasant explained what we were seeing and gave sufficient time to enjoy the site. The best for me was the black sand. Prior to this trip I had never heard of black sand or even that it existed. To sum up the tour, I would go again. It was worth the money I paid for it. There is nothing negative that I could find.

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included
First Timers vs. Veteran Luau
Activity Date: 2022/02/20 | Posted on: 2022/03/20

For those of us who had been to previous luaus this experience was amazing. The attention to history and story telling was very interesting. The costumes, dances and national history was educational as well as entertaining. (Especially the fire dancer!) Some of our friends had never been to a luau before and also thought it was wonderful. The food was presented beautifully and delicious. (The drinks were excellent too!) We even tried the poi because this was the first time it had ever been explained to us how to eat it and with what food combination. The location was easy to find and parking was ample. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great experience for our group of six and would highly recommend this event.

Fun First Night on the Island
Activity Date: 2022/03/06 | Posted on: 2022/03/08

Going to the luau was a great way to kick off our trip to Hawaii learning about the history and culture, traditions and customs. Staff were attentive, meal was varied to allow for local cuisine and picky eaters in the group ( who knew Chick nuggets and Mac was customary but a fan fav for the kids!). Banana bread delicious. The show entertaining and ambiance pretty overlooking the water.

The whole tour was well planned out and excuted. Drew was great and in the flow with weather conditions. Hewent above and beyond what he needed to do for all of us. Providing critical information and Hawaian History, mixed in with a little humor. Made it the best tour I have had to date. My grand kids said it was their favorite thing we did on our visit. Ages 11 and 14, you should know we snorkled with a tour. Parasailed and more. So Drew you win the best award from all of us. Thank you for a happy memory weshare and treasure forever.

Well worth it and would do again!
Activity Date: 2022/03/01 | Posted on: 2022/03/03

Shawn was the best tour guide! It seemed like the entire 8 hours passed in a flash. From pickup onward, Shawn made sure that all guests were comfortable each time and told entertaining and engaging stories the entire time. The drive up the summit was super smooth, and I loved all of the photos! The stargazing took place at a secluded and clear location just below the summit and was accompanied by a funny, expert discussion on how and where to find all of the stars. Finally, loved all of the local food recommendations and super excited to try as many as possible this time as well as in future trips. The highlight of my trip this year!

This tour was perfectly laid out. We covered a lot of territory, but it all went smoothly. The tour included breakfast and lunch, which were both excellent. Loved seeing a coffee plantation, winery, Black San Beach with turtles, the volcano crater, and waterfalls. Our guide, Derek, was incredibly knowledgeable and provided excellent information throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour. I was traveling with a child, and she also enjoyed all our stops.
