Customer Reviews

Great combo of things to see. Guide was fun and knowledgeable. Suggestions: 1. Make two options for the younger hiker folks and those of us who walk less these days. I was happy to see the lava tunnel and the volcano crest and would have spent more time at the lodge instead of the walking. I felt bad for the young ones on the tour who probably would have liked the longer hike. 2. Did not need a requirement of closed shoes. Paths would have been fine in a sturdy sandal. 3. Turkey sandwich lunch was boring... something more authentic maybe?

Our guide, Jon, really knew his Astronomy. He was able to explain how the ancients navigated using the stars to tell time, seasons, and locations. He also gave us a lesson on objects we were seeing in the sky using his cool laser pointer. Plus he set up his telescope and showed us several deep space objects like the Ring Nebula and The Andromeda Galaxy and Saturn. This was one of the best tours we took on the Big Island.

Wow, wow, wow! My family of four took a private tour to the waterfalls, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the Hawaiian culture, plants, and geology of the area. He had an obvious love of the land. We took a lovely hike, visited multiple waterfalls, had an excellent lunch, and enjoyed an overall wonderful day. Highly recommend.
