Didn't get to go on this tour! Tour was paid for and confirmed, but the company did not show up, nor any notification they were not coming! We waited at the dock for thirty minutes , then, with other tours booked up, we ended up paying for a rental! I wouldn't recommend this company!!! NO SHOW UP!

This was a great experience with Val as our guide. It is our first time to the big Island. We wanted to understand the history of the area, the 2018 eruption in Leilani Estates, see great beaches and learn the legends. We could not have asked for a better guide! Val worked around the weather and we were able to have a wonderful experience. A must do!!

An absolutely fantastic trip. Our guide Val, was a encyclopedia of knowledge about island history and culture. The Leilani Estates part of the tour allowing us to see and walk on the lava field was a WOW! We saw the pained church and Pahoa along with a city tour and a great lunch. We even went to the Muana Loa plant and were able to see the manufacturing of the delicious macadamia nuts. Val even took us to a local farmers market and bought a white pineapple for us to sample. Truly an awesome and memorable day! Thank you Val! The day tour was so good we asked Val to take us to the Kilauea volcano at night…simply a jaw dropping experience. A once in a lifetime event that will be treasured forever!

Me and my daughter had a great experience with an excellent tour guide! Thrilled being in the aftermaths of the 2018 eruption in the Leilani states. Interested to see the lava tree in the national park.

We had such a blast on this tour! The tour guide, Val, was so friendly and knowledgeable. He told us about the stories, history and legends of the areas we visited. I love that it was a private tour for such a good price. I definitely recommend this experience

My tour guide Maui was excellent. He took me to a lot beaches and national volcano park. We were lucky that rainbow showed up at the top of volcano crater. We did see some people worked on the crater that was insane because volcano can erupt anytime.
