We had an amazing day with our tour guide Meixia! He was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and geography and able to answer all of our questions. He was also very funny during the tour and attentive to everyone’s needs. He brought extra water, food, snacks, umbrellas, and raincoats for everyone. He even made a couple surprise stops for us to try some food or to see a landmark. The tour spots were beautiful. Highly recommend!

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I enjoyed the tour a lot. Our tour guide Brett was excellent and knowledgeable and took good care of us. We had 13 people on the tour, and it was a good group to travel with. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family. Mahalo!!

We had the most amazing day, seeing so many different aspects of the island, and all so different. Such a fun and interesting tour. Our guide Derek was fabulous. He told us so much history and kept us entertained with stories. He was also amazing at engaging with the two young girls, 7 & 8 years old who had fun for the whole 11 hours, it was wonderful to hear them giggling and not bored once. A definite MUST DO!

A great day, well organised. You don’t get long at each place but it’s a great way to get a flavour of what this beautiful island has to offer, if you’re short for time. Aaron is a great guide and so knowledgeable, even making a special extra stop, simply because I asked about a place I particularly wanted to see. Thank you so much, Aaron!

This is an amazing tour! Our guide Aaron was so knowledgeable and we learned so much! Our 4 year old and 6 year old also loved it! Highly recommend!
