        Waterfall Gem - Leah was very personable and gave a great local tour. Since we had a small group, she asked if we were interested in stopping at several local hot spots that were not on the original tour.

        Fantastic - Alex did such a fantastic job. He showed us the must see places at the right time to avoid the crowds and we could tell he liked thee places too. I would tell anyone to do this.  Pick up was so easy at the Port of Hilo as we were on the NCL Pride of America.

        Small group way better than the cruise ship herd.  - Excellent value! Loved the small group. 
Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with a memorable experience. 
He was very gracious and took a ton of pictures!

        Beautiful and Enjoyable Tour - My husband and I very much enjoyed this private tour with Leolani. Akaka and Rainbow Falls are both beautiful as are also the views on the way to Akaka. The boiling pots and black beach were also highlights. Leolani grew up in Hawaii and is now raising her family there. Her personal perspective and wealth of knowledge added so much to our tour. She was also so kind and accommodating. She took multiple photos for us, had an umbrella available when it rained a little, knew the best parking places and viewing spots. We were picked up promptly at the cruise pier and dropped off exactly on time when the tour was over. Would book another tour with this company in a heartbeat! And would love to sometime see more of the Big Island.

        The best way to see Hilo!  - The Lava was flowing so we went straight to Volcano park and did our tour " backwards". Alex kept us entertained and informed the whole time. All the best stories from an authentic Hawaiian! The Lava plumes were awesome! Felt like we were part of a National Geographic show.  Alex took us to all the best vantage points to enhance our experience above and beyond! Lava tube, waterfall, turtles on the beach, black beach... I would give him an eleven if I could!

Really recommend. 10 out of 10.......

        Nice tour, great guide  - Pros: small group of 6. Driver Alex was great. Local native was very informative and accommodating. Took pictures of us at different spots. Took us to a few different additional places we wanted to go. Could not get a better guide. Stopped at some very beautiful places. 
Cons: New Honda Odyssey van, was kinda cramped. Only one really nice high falls. Others were mediocre. Did not stop at the Boiling Pots stop as advertised. Said it was closed. 
It was still a nice tour. I would recommend.
