A perfect way to see the Big Island highlights in one day - David was amazing. There’s really no other way to put it. David took the time to explain some other esoteric Flora and Fana questions people had he kept us on schedule. David was always there with more information without being too intrusive. The sites were spectacular - the waterfall hike and the Waipi'o Valley lookout were particular stand out moments. The lunch was delightful. It was amazing day and the perfect way to see the highlights of the Big Island.

AWESOME experience with Dreu, our tour guide! - My wife and I took a couple's trip to the Big Island. Instead of renting a vehicle, we decided to do the Circle Island Tour to explore different parts of the island. Our tour guide Dreu Basaldua was AWESOME! He is the most knowledgeable tour guide I have ever had. He explained in great detail all about Hawaii and the island, including the culture, the language, history, etc. We got really lucky to have a tour with this guy. I would HIGHLY recommend the Circle Island Tour with Wasabi and request Dreu as your tour guide! You will not be disappointed.

Island day tour - Our tour guide Dreu Basaidua was prompt, caring and very knowledgeable. He explained in great detail of each destination stops. Dreu told very interesting stories of Hawaiian culture, language and history. My wife and I enjoyed Volcanoes National Park and Black Sand beach. I would highly recommend island day tour by Wasabi Tours.

Wonderful day - I started the tour with Brett (great guy) but moved to another van so friends could be all together in one van. So then I was with Miexia's group. Miexia gave us a wonderful tour of the big island. Miexia knows so much about the island and it's history it was wonderful to hear. He was able to get in a few extra stops along the way. I will be back and definitely do this tour again!
