5.00Very interesting tour, a bit too much time in the van. We visited every place as described in the description of the tour. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and made things a little bit uncomfortable, as we weren’t prepared for the rain and cold temperatures. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our time and learn lots about the island.
Amazing

5.00Me and my family enjoyed every second of this tour. We loved the tour guy, he was so informative! The group was small so he made more stops then usual. The other group kept showing up so late whenever we stopped somewhere which was so disappointing. While we were waiting for the other group, our tour guy told us stories and facts about Hawaii which kept us intrigued.
Very little time is spent...

4.00Very little time is spent at each stop. Our tour included 2 non-English speaking groups who spoke continuously. Might be good to have individual headsets so we could hear the tour guide. When the guide is not speaking, appropriate music could be playing. For a six hour tour, van space is cramped for passengers over 5'7".
A Day of Adventure

5.00This tour was super enjoyable. Just about the right amount of time at each stop. I wouldn't have been able to see all these great locations without the tour. This is a great way to see a lot in a day. Our Tour Guide Kaps was super fun and engaging as well. Highly recommend.

5.00Great way to see the island and its beauty. Tyler was our guide, and his local knowledge and love for the place shined through! Saw things we might not have seen otherwise. Tyler enhanced the tour with his historical knowledge and sharing personal experiences. Highly recommend this tour!
A must do experience!

5.00A must do experience! We’ve traveled to Hawaii several times and this tour did not disappoint. It was our 25 year anniversary so we booked several events for the week! John, the tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. John, the driver, was very courteous and kept us safe throughout the trip. During the tour, we visited lots of locations and it gave us ideas of other locations where we’d like to revisit. It was a great way to tour island. I’m glad we booked this trip. Thank you so much to both of the Johns! You truly made the trip truly enjoyable.
