Wow!! Best bang for the buck. See Hawaii that not even the locals may be completely aware of. - OH man!!! Don't be discouraged by the price. After the tour, I felt like they didn't charge enough. I'm originally from Hawaii but my host (Miexia) was so friendly, fun cool Hawaii facts, tips for other places to check out while here on vacation, and even though we were out for about an 11 hr tour, it went by so quickly. Included in the package was lunch and dinner. It wasn't just a sandwich and a bag of chips. Nope. lunch and dinner were good food that locals would eat too. We hit so many places. Nature and civilized places too. Book this tour and thank me later.

Best way to see a lot of the island - This was an absolutely wonderful - and efficient - way to see parts of the island we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. First of all, it is all day. We left Hilton Waikoloa Village a few minutes before 10am and got back about 10:30pm. We were expecting that, but I read other reviews where they were surprised by that. Again, it’s a full day. Our tour guide Aaron was outstanding. He made sure we had what we needed - water, snacks, bathroom breaks were timely. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the island and the culture. He welcomed questions and was very engaging and fun to listen to. I loved hearing about the history and economy and Aaron was able to answer in depth anything we could think to ask about. When we started, I was kind of hoping to rush through the coffee farm and bakery and get to the volcanoes. But the visits to those two spots were so much more fun and enjoyable than I was expecting! Seeing how coffee is grown and processed was super cool and the malasadas are a new favorite. Lunch was provided (by Aaron) at the coffee farm in bento boxes. Very good! Supper was a sit down dinner at a restaurant right outside the national park and also very good. Volcano National Park was the highlight. And the tour does a great job of hitting the high points. To really explore, you probably need at least a full day here. But, again, Aaron’s commentary and the spots we did stop at gave a great overview. If you want to hike and really see everything, you’ll need to go back and spend time. Stargazing was very interesting as well. Aaron did a great job of finding us a piece of clear sky on a hazy evening. Can’t say enough about how Aaron genuinely cared about the group having fun! There was some light walking, maybe a couple of half mile walks. But you don’t have to do those if you don’t feel up to it. Aaron will make sure you’re comfortable. Sprinter van was extremely comfortable, especially important when you spend most of the day in it. All in all, this was probably our favorite excursion of the week.

Exciting island tour! - Great tour! Henry did an amazing job giving us insights into the culture, geography and history of the island! We will be back!

A must see experience! - An amazing atour through many parts of the island! We got to see so much and Todd was very knowledgeable. I wish we had spent a little less time on the bus and more time at each location. Some of the stops felt rushed. However it was a full 12 hour day of adventure.

Wasabi and Dreu, perfect tour combination. - Came to visit the Big Island and booked a tour with this company based on the amazing reviews as well as YouTube (Hawaii Vacation Guide). If you want a full day to get to know more history of this island while experiencing highlights in a relaxed / fun way, this is the company for you. From booking to the tour itself, they truly made things easy. I will say that this is a full day so if you have younger kids / grandparents they may stay in van for certain portions which was what happened with us and was perfectly fine. We were fortunate to get Dreu as our guide; he has been with the company for 8 years and was extremely knowledgeable. It says a lot when a person holds this position for so long yet still has the incredible excitement to make it feel like it’s his first time. Quite frankly it was so enjoyable to see someone who truly is committed and passionate about his profession. I think he is the lead guide but he shared that their company has other super talented guides. Perhaps this type of mentality is why Wasabi is so highly rated. I can highly recommend this company and this particular tour. I think that you will also be impressed at Dreu’s ability to memorize names, create a great ambiance and the plethora of information he has from Hawaiian history to astronomy (as well as knowing where all the Ace Hardware stores are haha). Keep up the great work in sharing the beauty of this island. Looking forward to scheduling another tour with this company.

Incredible Experience With Amazing Tour Guide - This tour delivers an incredible experience with a truly amazing tour guide. Dreu knows Big Island inside and out. We traveled the majority of the island, from the town of Kona, a coffee farm, a local bakery, a Black Sands beach, mountains, volcanoes, forests, a lava tube, a BBQ dinner, the town of Hilo, and mountaintop stargazing... all in one spectacular day! It lasted 12 hours but it felt like it just flew by; Dreu keeps it equally fascinating and entertaining. His passion, knowledge, and respect for Big Island and Hawaiian culture clearly shine through as he takes the tour group to all of these beautiful places and tells us about all the "tings to considah!" 🙂 It's a day, and an experience, you will never forget.

Amazing tour! - This was the best tour we have taken! Dreu was an AMAZING guide! He was very knowledgeable and made the excursion more fun (especially for my 11 year old) He got him engaged in learning about green sand, black sand and various plants around the island. We were fortunate and had awesome weather, so we were able to see a lot. I would definitely do this tour again! If you say "it would be just the same tour" you're wrong because what's Here today is gone tomorrow.

Highlight of our trip! - Absolutely loved this trip. Henry was our host and he did a great job explaining the many facets of the island. The entire family loved it. Thank you!

Great tour of Big Island and Volcanoes National Park. - A great trip. We saw a lot of Big Island Hawaii including black sand beach with lounging sea turtles plus excellant experience in Volcanoes National Park. Capped of with great dinner in local restaurant with many meal choices, followed by stargazing and view of Milky Way. Our guide Aaron was fun and very informative.

Awesome tour - This tour was awesome. I loved seeing t He coffee farm, black sands beach, volcano park, and going stargazing. Scott was a terrific guide and helped with my gluten allergy. So much fun , highly recommend!
