Excellent tour! Rosario was an excellent guide, he educated us on the customs and traditions of the island. He was friendly and personable. Taught us some Hawaiian words and we learned to hula on the Fern Grotto boat ride. The variety of places we saw were amazing!Worth the money!!

Excellent. Kaleo was a fantastic guide. We did the tour on our second day on the island. Got to see some of the natural wonder highlights. Kaleo was very interesting and funny!!

Our guide Sabrina was sensational, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The bus we were traveling on was both comfortable and safe.

Great way to see parts of the Island if you don’t have a rental car.

Everything was perfect. So beautiful! And our guide Eton was Great!
