Dindo (?) was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. We made it safely to Haleakala, and the weather was great (but windy, do bring extra layers)! We had a great lunch and went to a distillery for a tour (I’m not a drinker, but it was okay). Then we went to a state park (iao?), which was also beautiful! It’s a long day and expensive, but I’d say it’s worth it. Thank you!

Day started a little late because of miscommunication to the driver but he handled it well and after picking everyone up he shook it off and was an excellent guide. The sights were breathtaking and the ride smooth. Could have used a little more time in the town we stopped in for lunch. Would have loved to look through the shops but with needing to fit a meal in it was tough to do both. I recommend!

What a PHENOMENAL experience! Cousin Mitch was so knowledgeable and had so many great stories and experiences to share with us. It was a trip of a lifetime and Cousin Mitch made it even better. Would highly recommend him AND the tour company -- very communicative, very thought-out tour, just simply wonderful. I would love to say I had a favorite part, but this was definitely a highlight.
