Tour Guide Awesome - Great Packed Day! - Aaron was awesome! Very knowledgeable, upbeat, humorous, and so kind. He spoke over the mic and gave facts constantly on the tour, provided lunch, navigated and drove. Who needs Google when Aaron can answer all your questions?! Everything flowed smoothly and we made all our stops. It's a great way to see all of the big attractions on the island. The stops are quick. I suggest doing this tour early in your trip so that you can go back and spend more time at the sites if you want. Enough time to take some photos and then leave. Lunch was a tasty warm chicken teriyaki, rice, chips. Bountiful amounts of water bottles were provided and we needed it! Very nice comfortable vehicle that had spots to charge your phone inside.

Number one recommended trip - Absolutely a don’t miss kind of tour. Our tour guide Chris was the best tour guide we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. It was like a full vacation all wrapped up in one day. By the end of the trip we all agreed it was well worth the cost.

Fabulous day from start to finish - The most memorable parts of the day will depend on where you are from. For me, seeing black sand beaches and the volcano were highlights. Neither can be found in Australia. Rainbow Falls and Akaka Falls were spectacular following persistent downpours the previous day. The final stop at Waipi'o Valley was breathtaking. We could not have asked for a better guide. Thanks, Miexia.

Great "Sampler" Platter! - Although it was a long day, it was a great "sampling" of the island. Mia was a fun guide and had lots of information to share having grown up on the island. Definitely recommend doing this early in your trip as you may want to revisit some spots or get her recommendations for other places to go.

Fantastic way to get a snapshot view of the Big Island. Highly recommend! - This tour by Wasabi was top notch. Felix was a fantastic tour guide. He was knowledgeable, fun, vibrant and just an all around joy to spend 12 hours with. The tour covers so many aspects of the Big Island in one day and allows you a perfect framework to then go out on your own and pursue the things that were of interest to you. Wasabi is a really well run company. The vans are kept clean, run well and you can tell that they are prepared for anything that might come along on a tour. HIghly recommend this tour!!
