Go with the locals! - This was one of the funnest most informative tours I’ve been on. Our tour guide was AMAZING and really put the local Hawaiian touch on it. Couldn’t have asked for a better day! Having a small group and a local tour guide Justin made the experience one we’ll never forget!

Best tour group in my opinion - First of all I want to say before I chose this tour I researched it very carefully and read all the reviews. Now, after taking the trip, I definitely made the right choice. Our tour guide Vince Did a fabulous job!!!!! He took group photos with his camera to send to us later, and he took pictures with our camera also when ask. He was super friendly and had a lot of knowledge of the island because he grew up here. We learned a lot about the Hawaiian cultures and all the Places we saw. I really like that we had a small group of nine people and we all introduced ourselves. I think it was much better than being in a big group. We started off really early, because of that we were able to stay ahead of all the big groups and Vince got us in and out of where we needed to go before the big groups got there so it wasn’t crowded for us and we didn’t have long lines. I really love swimming in the waterfall, of course it was raining when we did it, but if you’re gonna get wet anyway, a little rain doesn’t hurt. Just be careful. It is slippery down on the rocks into the waterfall and back out. They not only have the option of a golf cart, but also they had personal scooters you can drive to waterfall. I loved the little gift shops and the new foods to try. The tour bus was very comfortable and we truly feel we got to circle Hawaii and see all the different areas from popular spots to local culture. The small towns and bigger cities. The food place he took us was delicious, loved the garlic shrimp ect. It was an Amazing day we will never forget with an Awesome tour guide. We created some many wonderful memories for our 3 generational girls trip for me, my mom and daughter. I loved that he referred to my mom as momma Janice.

A must see - Try to get a direct number for your tour driver with an early morning pickup time to beat the other tours.

FANTASTIC DAY - WOW. If I could rate this as a 10 I would because this tour was amazing from start to finish. The owner of the company (Capt Vince) was our driver for the day and the tour narrator, Justin was so very knowledgeable. There was not a question asked by anyone on the tour they couldn't answer. So many amazing sites on the tour but the tour ride itself was fantastic. Very professional and well worth the money. Pick up was near our resort. Price was very reasonable. Learned tidbits not included on the tour as well and stopped at a neat little fruit stand as well as having a great plate lunch.

Best Island Tour - This was a solo tour for me, and my first time in Hawaii. I had an amazing time. Everyone was so nice. Captain Vince kept us on our toes, there was never a dull moment. And I sincerely enjoyed Justin's gift of story telling, it was wonderfully emersive. He taught us so much from his own authentic perspective as a Native Hawaiian. We had a great itinerary, there was enough time to see each spot. We were given an explanation of what to expect at each stop in advance. And I love how smooth the whole process was. I definitely recommend this tour!

This trip canceled at the... - This trip canceled at the last min due to mechanical issues. Its unfortunate that this company only has one bus in which to give tours. My suggestion would be to purchase another vehicle to prevent this from happening in the future.
