We flew from Honolulu to Hilo where we were greeted by our tour guide Dexter who was already waiting at the airport. He was born and lived on the Big Island for his entire life so his knowledge of history on the island w... moreas phenomenal. We highly recommend this tour and especially if you're lucky enough to have Dexter as your guide!!! Thank you Dexter for making our experience the best!

The Grand Circle Island tour is a great way to have a compact adventure all in one day. It was full of beautiful scenic views of cliffsides, beaches, cooled lava formations, waterfalls, volanic crater, and so much more. ... moreYou experience a hike through a rainforest with some inclines at times, volcanic steam vents that feel like you're in a sauna, turtle viewing at Black Sand beach, cliffsides overlooking crashing waves, a coffee harvesting & processing walkthrough, a lava tube cave, and much more. Some hikes can be a bit challenging if you have mobility problems but our tour guide Brent is so accommodating and on the HNP Kilauea hike, you can ride along with him to the top of the viewing area if you're not able to do the short walk. Additionally, Brent is not just a tour guide, he will transport you to another time. He wove an amazing storytelling of Native Hawaiin history into the scenic mountains, beaches, historical battleground sites, trees, buildings, fantastical stories, and rich cultural backdrop. I walked away with a deep appreciation for how the Hawaiian island and culture came to be. This was an amazing way to experience the island!

Really easy way to get to see so many fabulous spots around the Big Island without needing to drive and look at directions all day!!

Flying one hour to a volcano that isn't active isn't worth the effort, time or money. We also saw 2 waterfalls, a lava tunnel, a lava field and Hilo, the town with the airport and closest to the volcano park. But again a... morell not worth the time, effort and money to go. Our guide, Dexter was good but he can't make up for the missing attractions.

Wonderful small tour with great guide Henry ✨️ lots of fantastic information and lovely attractions. Lunch was awesome too by Millies! Yum great value and excellent tour guide Henry

We thoroughly enjoyed the Grand Circle Island Tour. We had the opportunity to visit so many different parts of the island and experience the true beauty of the Big Island. The tour was well planned and Neil was an amazin... moreg host!
I definitely recommend that all visitors try this tour at least once!
