Although 12 hours may sound like a long time, the day passed quickly. Very educational, entertaining and informative. Our guide, Hilary, was fantastic. Not a minute went by without learning something new about the islands and their history. Stops were well timed and the company was pleasant. A perfect way to begin our
Hawaiian visit!. Reviewed by: J. W., USA, March 2011
This trip was wonderful. Hawaii became a state on my 1st birthday and for some time now, I have been hoping to visit. August 21, 2009 my drean came true - I was visiting Hawaii on its 50th birthday. Our tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and the stories he told were as if he had lived through them. The craters were awesome and breath taking, almost didn't seem real. We walked out to the Black Sand Beach and were so blessed to see two green sea turtles basking in the sun. The tour is early and lengthy, but for what you are rewarded with seeing it is well worth it. Once in a life time experience. Reviewed by: C. S., USA, August 2009
Spectacular scenery and every view is unique and breathtaking in itself. I've never seen anything like this before. The driver/guide was extremely informative with plenty of information on flora as well as native Hawaiian culture. A long day trip but a must-do in your lifetime! Reviewed by: R.
