The best experience for our family! Justin was the best guide. Make sure to request him. He took us everywhere and knew everything about the island. He was so friendly and fun, we are still talking about our experience. He made our adventure to the lava tubes, candy shop, beach, and Volcano Patk the BEST!

ilariabW9731XW, Jul 2026
★★★★★ Best Tour of My Life
I don’t say this lightly, but this was genuinely the best tour I’ve ever done. From the moment we met our guides, it was clear we were in the hands of people who truly love what they do. Their knowledge of the park’s geology, native flora, and Hawaiian cultural history was incredible, they didn’t just recite facts, they told stories that made the whole landscape come alive. The scenery alone is otherworldly, this isn’t a place, it’s another planet. But it was the passion and warmth of our guides that turned an already stunning experience into something unforgettable. Five stars isn’t enough! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts🙏🏼

Big Mike was amazing! I would whole heartedly recommend this tour. Great driving, history telling, insight and personal stories at every stop! I would rate this tour with Big Mike as my favorite of all time. If you don’t book Lehua tours, you’re missing out. Mike also had some pleasant surprises for us throughout the tour. Volcanoes National Park is a must!

This was really an awesome your and Big Mike from Lehua your made it super special for us with stories, his knowledge about nature and his hearty laughter. He didn’t rush us, took us through local experiences, food and gave us time to enjoy the day at this gorgeous national park. He went out of the way to welcome us with self made garlands looking like lehua flowers, gave us gifts on our way back and stopped wherever we requested one. Really appreciate the attention to detail and absolutely brilliant experience.

Great Itinerary and I love to book small van tours
This company is customer service oriented and did everything possible to accommodate circumstances beyond their control. The immigration control at the Hilo Port is not a smooth process. We had to wait over 2 hours to start our excursion, since several in our group were stuck on the ship waiting for their turn to get off the ship. Amanda did everything possible to try and coordinate a condensed excursion, with the time remaining. On top of this, the day had off and on rain, which made our trip to the Volcanos National Park less than desirable. I felt I received value for the trip we had. NCL should consider extending the amount of time in this port, to allow for the extremely long process to get everyone off of the ship. But this is no reflection on this company.

Amanda is the best person to guide you through this wonderful tour. The 7 hours we spent with Amanda was filling with everything you could image of plants, volcanoes, wildlife and 24 years of living in Hilo. If you want to have the best tour you will ever have request Amanda! The price paid is well worth it for a small group tour and Amanda made us feel we gained insight on our tour from her.
