Great time. Our guides were so knowledgeable. The tour was well worth it. Our lunch was great with many option - Our guides were so knowledgeable. This was our favorite venture on the island. Well worth the money. So much information along the way. We learned about all the history of The Big Island. Plus Desmond and his partner were so wanting to make this memorable by taking pictures of all of us and taking time to get to know all of us on the tour personally. The lunch was outstanding and many things to choose from, the volcano was awesome! Then we went to black sand beach which was so beautiful. While we were there they brought us a beautiful fruit plate. So well worth it!!! My husband Scott loved the tour as much as I did .

Don’t think, just book it! - Highly recommend this tour! Anthony and Desmond are both so knowledgeable and passionate and it reflects in the tour! I enjoyed my entire day and learned a lot. Booked the tour specifically wanting to go to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park- which was amazing, but Rainbow Falls and Black Sand Beach were beautiful!

Education and fun with a side of Kalua Pork - This was a full day of fun and education. Anthony and Desmond were so easy going with pace and teaching of Hawaiian history and culture. I was a little guarded because I was on my own, but they put everyone at ease with their friendly manner. Each stop on the tour was well planned without being rushed. The lunch stop at a local family owned Cafe was delish and filling .

Believe all of the 5 star reviews. - Our tour guides , Anthony and Desmond were fantastic. Perfect pacing of the trip. Only twelve on a small bus so after the large cruise ship tours this was refreshing. They were both extremely knowledgeable and shared their love of Hawaii and its culture. I have been to the bug island before and this is hands down the best tour I have taken.

Top notch experience - Our favorite excursion! Rainbow falls, volcano, lava tubes, black sand Beach with an amazing fresh fruit basket. I talked to folks who booked with a different tour group, supposed to be the same destinations, but they didn't have the fresh fruit or lava tube experience. This was a great deal!
