Well the tour itself was good. My experience with the tour guide was not. Never in 6yrs plus using Viator to book tour around the world (Iceland, Shanghai, London, France, etc) I have ever been disrespected and spoken to in a condescending way like I was during this experience. When the guide (Todd) that was picking us up at the beginning of the tour wanted to meet us farther from the place the instructions that have been provided said. From mansplaining to not even apologizing when he finally met me, I’m not sure what was rudest. Up to this point we had have a great time in Kona… at some point during the tour he apologized to my husband (of course) but never to me. Not even when I tole him he wasn’t nice to me on the phone during pick up. On the contrary, he proceeded to mansplain to me again, what he was right. One in life time (potentially) experience really got to a horrible start thanks to Todd.

Nice site seeing your, coffee farm, bakery, lunch, volcanoes, dinner and star gazing. It’s a 12 hour trip but in small group so that’s nice. Scott was great host and driver!

Hunter_J

This tour was awesome, it was the whole day so don’t plan on doing anything else that day. The guide was extremely good. He was sooo knowledgeable about the island and the people that influenced it.

Julie_B

Fantastic way to experience/overview much of the island with ease! Todd was knowledgeable, kind, fun and VERY customer-focused. He really has this down to a science...you feel like you fully engage in each stop without being rushed. We had unusually good weather at the volcano so he adapted the tour to allow more hiking time and included an astronomy lesson after dinner! I appreciate that he comfortably rolled with the day and clearly did not have a rote script to follow. It was very personalized and thorough! The van was comfortable, fully air conditioned, and had an excellent sound system. Great experience!!

Todd was great! Very knowledgeable and could share history and events of a place. Such a fantastic tour!

We were a group of 18 so we had two vans. Both vans stayed together so we made the same stops at the same time which was great. My van included myself and 8 of my friends and our guide was Derek and my other 9 friends were with Dreu. Both Derek and Dreu are phenomenal tour guides and truly love their island and go above and beyond to show it off. This was my first visit to the Big Island and I say this tour is a must. You will learn so much, and you’ll definitely have a few laughs along the way.

We had such a great day on this 12 hour tour! Scott was our tour guide. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It's a day I'll never forget I highly recommend this tour!

The tour was amazing, our guide Drew was absolutely the best. I’ve traveled all over the world and hired a number of tour guides and Drew is 100% the best!!! His in-depth knowledge of Hawaiian culture and his insight into the flora and fona of the Big Island was astounding. One of my all time best tours😎👍👍

Henry was our tour guide. From the start he made us feel like Ohana. It’s a long tour, 12 hours for us, yet Henry was always full of energy and information. We were never bored. He is a local, who is very proud of his island and it shows. There is so much to see and I’m sure we did not scratch the surface of what we could’ve seen on The Big Island. We did get to see the Coffee Farm, Bakery, Black Sand Beach where 11 turtles were hanging out, Volcanoes National Park and the Stargazing. We were fed twice. They provided rain coats when it was wet and cold weather coats when it was cold. Overall an excellent trip and I’m so glad we did it. Well done, Henry. I cannot Thank You enough!

We were really happy with the organization and execution of this tour. Our guide Todd was excellent; he was extremely knowledgeable about many topics, affable, and took great consideration to make sure all of the group was comfortable and capable of enjoying the different activities on the tour. We got a great overview of the island, and enjoyed yummy food for the lunch and dinner portions of the tour. The bus was well equipped and comfortable. The company was prompt and responsive with regard to questions we had about pick up and drop off. Would highly recommend this tour.
