Hilo, Rainbow Falls and Volcano National Park. - Kimo is awesome! So knowledgeable and friendly. Kimo took us through Hilo and told us the history of his Island people then we went to Rainbow Falls before he took us up to Volcano National Park. It was a great experience, much cheaper than going through the ship and there was just 2 couples in the tour! Very intimate.

Best Tour of Hilo Island - We learned so much about the Island and was able to see so much. We enjoyed the day with Kemo. I highly recommend this tour company. He took us all over the island.

Excellent Tour and Tour Guide - Dan was our tour guide and did an excellent job. He was very knowledgeable and ensured we had plenty of time at all the stops and answered everyone's questions. Well worth the cost, and I highly recommend this company. This was our first excursion without going through the overpriced cruiseline costs, and we had a great time!! Thank you Dan!!

A wonderful experience with great people. - The drivers and tour organizers were right outside the cruise terminal exit and provided a brief description of where the tour was going, gave us the pricing, and a rough timeline of how long it would take. We agreed and quickly got into the van with another couple, partly for safety reasons. At that point, you never know quite what lies ahead or what is in store for you, whether you've made a good choice or wasted your money or even put yourselves at risk. From the very start, these guys delivered. They were kind, knowledgeable, engaging, full of personality and lore, told personal tales that provided relevance to the area and gave historical perspectives that were extraordinarily fair and balanced given the fact that history can be uncomfortable when truly told. The tour felt comprehensive while also not taking all day and tiring out the participants. If all of us were ready to go, we loaded up and moved on; if we wanted to spend a bit of extra time hanging around a given area or just chatting among the passengers or, increasingly, any of the three drivers that we began to know better at each stop, we lingered a bit longer without being pressured to move things along. The tour moved briskly without feeling hurried or rushed and, before we were even halfway, we all felt like Alex was becoming a personal friend and Dan (kind of the boss, kind of another driver) was already so familiar as to be very familiar to us. All in all, it wad a first-class experience with wonderful people and spectacular scenery. Well worth the money and a very memorable outing.

Good Time - Great Guide - There were only 4 of us on this tour and it was really good, our Guide was great!! A 4 hour tour turned into an almost 5 1/2 hour because of all the extra stuff we did. Rainbow Falls, Lava Tube, Volcano, Volcano house, Candy Store, Black Sand Beach and on top of all of that Sea Turtles! Our guide was personable, helpful, informative, funny and a down to earth true Hawaiian. Thank you for making my and my Wife's tour an awesome memory!!

Great Tour - Our tour was absolutely wonderful. Our driver's name was Dan and he is the best. First of all Dan was able to tell us of the history and significance of everything around us. Dan was very friendly and kind to everyone in the group. He helped everyone on and off the van and made sure we were able to get pictures with each stop. My wife and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone hoping to see the volcano and learn about the area along the way.
