Great experience, this agency and Chris are the best! - My wife and I went on the ½ day tour with Chris from “Kailani Tours Hawaii” and we were greatly impressed! He was there at the hotel ready to pick us up; we went with him in his very-fine BMW. We went to various stops- historical, unique, and fascinating that showed us the culture of the Hawaiian people. Chris is a master tour guide; he knows the Hawaiian language, both written and spoken, and provides an experience that is both engaging and educational while driving and at the many stops we had. The only regret is our time ending so early, making me think the full-day tour might have been better! I’d highly recommend Chris and his agency as they are superb hosts and tour guides; they emailed and called me beforehand to insure there were no mix-ups or communication issues. Their rate was well worth it; I don’t walk too well and Chris was extremely accommodating. Chris sets the gold standard for what a tour guide and company should be- I’m so impressed. I don’t normally write reviews or do surveys but with this experience I’m compelled to compliment Chris and his agency for how they worked with us and took such great care! If you are trying to decide on a tour, by all means give this agency a call.

A great 4-5 hour local food tour on the Big Island - Went on a 4-hour "Tours of Hawaii- A Bitesize History" with Kailani Tours on the Big Island of Hawaii. Apparently this is a new tour and my friend and I were one of the first to go. We were picked up in the morning in a new van at the Mauna Lani Resort and driven to Tex's Drive Inn in Honoka'a where we tasted the local malasadas (donuts). Then to Ahualoa Family Farms where we sampled the Kona coffee and macadamia nuts and learned a little history of the farm and the people who have lived there for generations. Then David, our driver drove us through the town of Honoka'a on our way to Wai'Pio Valley. Beautiful drive and the Wai'Pio Valley lookout offers unbelievably stunning views. Our last stop was the Wednesday Farmers Market in the town of Waimea, where I ordered a meal from one of the local food trucks. Excellent end to a remarkable 4 hour tour. Highly recommend the tour and David, our driver.

Great day!! - I had an incredible experience on the Flavors of Hawaii: A Bitesize History tour! Our guide, David, was outstanding—warm, personable, and impressively knowledgeable. He brought the history and culture of Hawaii to life with fascinating insights and engaging storytelling. The destinations were thoughtfully chosen, offering a perfect mix of history, culture, and, of course, delicious food. Every stop felt meaningful and added to the overall experience. This tour is a must for anyone looking to explore the authentic flavors and rich history of Hawaii in a fun and immersive way. Highly recommend!
