The beauty of Hawaii is unparalleled. From the black sand beach, to the majestic mountains and glorious skies. We were lucky enough to spot a beached Honu (turtle) don’t get too close of course. The rainbow falls and the lava tube were amazing sites, before the main event at the Volcano park. The pictures do not do it justice, you have to see it in person to really take it all in. Highly recommend!

This tour was excellent. Everything was arranged for us - hotel transfers from Waikiki to Honolulu airport & return, they booked our flights to the Big Island and supplied boarding passes. Our guide David was waiting for us at Hilo airport. He took us straight to the Volcanoes National Park which was great to see in the morning with very few people around. He knew all the best places to go and stopped often so we could take photos and experience each place. There were only 4 people on our tour but David’s van can take more. He was knowledgeable about the history and didn’t overload us with too much info. The afternoon included more sightseeing around the towns and coastline including a walk around the markets, beaches, waterfall and more. The whole tour was so easy and well worth it. Highly recommended tour for people holidaying on Oahu but wanting to visit the Big Island of Hawaii.

This tour was amazing. Our tour guide was so patient with us. I didn't eat breakfast in the morning because I woke up late and didn't want to miss my flight. I told him I didn't have time to eat amd without hesitation he took us all to a local mart to eat. That is the type of customer service I like. THANK YOU DAVID!!!!!
The big island was so beautiful. My favorite part was the lava tube we walked through and the steam vents. The smell of that island is so crisp and clean. Unpoluted, Green, Black,( due to the lava rocks) Untouched, Virgin land. We ate strange fruit at the farmers market that were delicious. The views of the ocean from the top of the volcano was amazing. Absolutely worth the cost of this activity.
