Kailani offered a tour that was well worth the money we paid. The van was comfortable with only 11 passengers on the tour. Our driver (Ridge) was a lifelong resident and talked story about all our stops with great command of the knowledge he imparted. We highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a day long trip to major tourist sites.

Fantastic tour! Views were magnificent. Our tour guide, Neil, was great. Definitely a full day with an 8:00 a.m. pickup and a 7:00ish p.m. return, but well worth the time and money. We had planned on driving ourselves around the island, but after this tour there was no need for us to make the drive. Plenty of time at each stop, we never felt rushed. The coffee plantation, black sand beach (with turtles), Kīlauea overlook, lava tubes (beware the path for ingress and egress is steep), Volcano Winery, Rainbow Waterfall (no rainbow because of rain), and a drive through Hilo all were enjoyable. The stops at the Kīlauea visitors' center, bakery, and candy store were nice breaks, but nothing to really see or do but shop for snacks. Lunch at the Volcano house was so-so, but the view of Kīlauea was phenomenal (not always the case as the clouds can be thick).
Neil was very informative; a fountain of information. If you can, have him as your guide.

On Saturday, April 27, 2024, we took the Big Island Tour with Kona Chris as our tour guide. The tour was packed full of information. We stopped at a winery, a bakery, Black Sand Beach, Volcano National Park, and Rainbow Falls. The tour included lunch and snacks. The 11-hour tour was well worth the time and money. Kona Chris was great.

The black sands beach was the highlight with seeing the sea turtles. We walked through a lava tube, saw rainbow falls, and stopped in Volcanoes National Park. The views were amazing.

A wonderful tour for first-time Big Island visitors. Stefan was a great guide with tons of information about the history, the culture, the land formations, and the flora, and the fauna. Each stop was interesting from learning how coffee is processed to wine tasting and candy making. Volcano National Park was awesome, and the lunch was delicious and presented beautifully. All in all, it was a well planned trip and very well done.

The tour guide, Grant was amazing. Our two kids had a blast! We saw so many cool things, toured great places and had a nice dinner. The movie on the way back at night was a nice touch! Would highly recommend.

We looked forward to the tour to see the whole island. The views are beautiful and the sights are amazing. It was a very long day and some of the stops were rushed with short time limits , although at the end of the day we finished early.
There was room for the guide to improve both time management and the information presented. After asking if there were questions he seemed to not have in depth knowledge to answer them thoroughly.
The island is gorgeous and could have had a better presentation.
