This excursion takes you through the southern half of the island to give you a really good feel for the island history, culture, and geography. We went on our first day of our first trip to the big island intending to do just that. It involves a lot of driving, which was much better with a driver and knowledgeable guide than it would have been to try to do it all on our own. It’s a long day but we were well cared for and enjoyed the company and stories provided by our guide, Todd.

An amazing trip!!! Well worth the money. We we fortunate as the weather was raining hard but miraculously cleared up for the Kilauea visit. What an amazing sight!! Spectacular with the steam rising from the many hot spots. And the night star gazing with a true astronomy expert! Todd Wilkinson was fantastic! Do not hesitate!

Dreu Basaldua, our tour guide was amazing, hence his position as a lead guide. I was amazed he could share his knowledge for almost 12 hours! He made the tour an extremely memorable experience.

It was a long tour cover the whole island and each stop were quite brief. We spend most of the time sitting the van. We stayed at the east of island and got up early drove 2 hours to the west of the island pick up point. We arrived 15mins early but at the other side of the building. The driver knows we have arrived and text us the exact location but we only saw it 7mins later, when we walked to the pick up point which is only 1 min away, the driver has left us and gone. We had to contact the agent urgently and had to drove ourselves to the next pick up point which is another 45mins. This has made our day stressful and we didn’t think the tour was good value for money. We arrived at our place around 1:30am that day.

Todd did a great job of guiding and informing. His personality was made for this job. Disappointed that the weather didn't let us see stars but not Todd's fault. I would recommend this tour and company. Very nice experience.
