Excellent adventure! - DREU led an AMAZING tour to the volcano and with star gazing, etc! For some 12 hours non-stop he taught us SO MUCH about not just the topic of our tour but about Hawaiian life, tradition and values. He also spoiled us to the hilt with jackets, umbrellas, flash lights, you name it! It was so obvious that he wants you to not only have a great adventure, but the best adventure of your life! No wonder he's rated not only one of the best tourist guides anywhere, but perhaps the best in all Hawaii! This company is great, and Dreu is the icing on the cake! Check them out, and try to get Dreu to lead you!!!

An Must-To-Do Experience - We recently took the Twilight Volcano and Stargazing Tour, and it was fantastic. Aaron, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful—he’d fit right in on Jeopardy! Starting in Kona, we dealt with various weather conditions throughout the day. Wasabi Tours provided raincoats for the rain and warm jackets for stargazing. The tour included plenty of stops, so we never had to worry about finding clean restrooms. The meals, including lunch and dinner, were surprisingly good, with dinner offering a variety of options. Aaron was very informative about the volcano, making several stops and explaining each one. When a stargazing spot was too crowded, he quickly took us to a quieter location where we could enjoy the stars without any distractions. He used a pointer to help us identify the stars and constellations, which made the stargazing even better. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time at each site. I highly recommend Wasabi Tours and would book with them again.

A must see experience! - An amazing atour through many parts of the island! We got to see so much and Todd was very knowledgeable. I wish we had spent a little less time on the bus and more time at each location. Some of the stops felt rushed. However it was a full 12 hour day of adventure.

Great Tour - We had an awesome time! Our tour guide Aaron was great! He was very knowledgeable, personable and friendly. The first activity we did was to the Kona Coffee Farm. We had a great time tasting coffee and looking at the step by step process to making the coffee. We also really enjoyed our lunch at the coffee farm. The second activity we did was to a bread factory. The bread was delicious and unique. Our third stop was to a black sand beach. We had an awesome time and we enjoyed the beaches unique beauty unlike most white sand beaches. Our second to last stop was to the big crater at the summit of the volcano. The view was breathtaking and it felt as if you were at a mini Grand Canyon. Our dinner was great and we enjoyed the nice smooth rides from stop to stop. Our last stop was stargazing. It was incredible! We saw almost every star in the sky. We even saw the Milky Way! All in all our trip was incredible and we loved every second of it. We would love to do it again.

Wasabi and Dreu, perfect tour combination. - Came to visit the Big Island and booked a tour with this company based on the amazing reviews as well as YouTube (Hawaii Vacation Guide). If you want a full day to get to know more history of this island while experiencing highlights in a relaxed / fun way, this is the company for you. From booking to the tour itself, they truly made things easy. I will say that this is a full day so if you have younger kids / grandparents they may stay in van for certain portions which was what happened with us and was perfectly fine. We were fortunate to get Dreu as our guide; he has been with the company for 8 years and was extremely knowledgeable. It says a lot when a person holds this position for so long yet still has the incredible excitement to make it feel like it’s his first time. Quite frankly it was so enjoyable to see someone who truly is committed and passionate about his profession. I think he is the lead guide but he shared that their company has other super talented guides. Perhaps this type of mentality is why Wasabi is so highly rated. I can highly recommend this company and this particular tour. I think that you will also be impressed at Dreu’s ability to memorize names, create a great ambiance and the plethora of information he has from Hawaiian history to astronomy (as well as knowing where all the Ace Hardware stores are haha). Keep up the great work in sharing the beauty of this island. Looking forward to scheduling another tour with this company.

Incredible Experience With Amazing Tour Guide - This tour delivers an incredible experience with a truly amazing tour guide. Dreu knows Big Island inside and out. We traveled the majority of the island, from the town of Kona, a coffee farm, a local bakery, a Black Sands beach, mountains, volcanoes, forests, a lava tube, a BBQ dinner, the town of Hilo, and mountaintop stargazing... all in one spectacular day! It lasted 12 hours but it felt like it just flew by; Dreu keeps it equally fascinating and entertaining. His passion, knowledge, and respect for Big Island and Hawaiian culture clearly shine through as he takes the tour group to all of these beautiful places and tells us about all the "tings to considah!" 🙂 It's a day, and an experience, you will never forget.

Amazing tour! - This was the best tour we have taken! Dreu was an AMAZING guide! He was very knowledgeable and made the excursion more fun (especially for my 11 year old) He got him engaged in learning about green sand, black sand and various plants around the island. We were fortunate and had awesome weather, so we were able to see a lot. I would definitely do this tour again! If you say "it would be just the same tour" you're wrong because what's Here today is gone tomorrow.

Excellent tour and unbeatable guide! - Excellent trip. Aaron was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, informative, extremely polite and attentive and very enthusiastic. I travel a lot and I have made hundreds of guided tours and he’s definitely one of the best guides I’ve ever had. The tour was great and he was awesome! The star gazing was super interesting even if by then the whole group was feeling tired. Highly recomended tour!
