Overview

This is a custom, private tour starting on the east side of the Big Island of Hawaii.  Some of the suggested sights include:  Rainbow Falls, drive thru a rainforest, Akaka Falls, lava tube exploration (flashlights provided), black sand beach and Coconut Island.  Time permitting, we could even drive to Pahoa to see the 2018 lava flow. Being a private tour means there is no set itinerary.  It is my goal to send you home with a sense of wonder after visiting this gorgeous island.

Highlight of our Vacation!

Published on Aug, 2021

We experienced such a variety of things in the Hilo area with Scott. He gave us great recommendations as to where to go, and he was flexible with us on the fly—stopping off at local farmers markets by the roadside, seeing black sand beaches, lava tunnels, waterfalls, etc. Seeing the aftermath of the 2018 lava flow and it’s powerful destruction was incredible. Scott knows the area because he lives there. He is knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He made this adventure more than we ever hoped for during our family vacation!

Excellent and Knowledgeable.

Customer Service Beyond Expectations

Published on Jan, 2020

Although we did not get to go on our scheduled tour, I want to give a shout-out to Scott. Due to a medical emergency we had to cancel our scheduled reservation less than a week out. After providing collaborating documentation, our pre-paid booking was fully refunded. (We had other scheduled tours on other islands for this trip that were not refunded.) Once we do make it to Hilo, I will definitely be reaching out to Scott again.

A great Tour!

Published on Nov, 2019

I really wanted to write a review that didn't echo what every one else has said and delayed for way too long. As it is, I fear I'll sound like most of the reviewers on this site -- "best experience eve"r. All that can be said is that our time with Scott was darn near perfect. We saw several sites that we would have missed on our own including the famous "lava lot" . The chance to walk across recently flowing lava and see how it is transforming into new land was awesome. Being on the ground, especially with such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide put many of the sites I saw on TV and YouTube into perspective. He packed a lot of sites into the time and yet we never felt rushed. I would very highly recommend touring with Scott to anyone visiting the Big Island. Mahalo, Scott.

Tour of the Hilo Side of the Big Island

Published on Oct, 2019

Tour of the Hilo Side of the Big Island Scott was an excellent tour guide allowing us to customize our time on this beautiful side of the island. He was very accommodating and patient taking us to some of the secret places. Scott provides a no rush and not a go-go tour but going at your pace. Prior to the tour he responded very quickly answering all our questions and then recommending some of the places and things to do and see. We visited the Rainbow Falls, Alkaka Falls, Coconut island, the Macadamia Nut factory and many more. Also we walked on the newly formed lava field that was created last year during the volcanic eruption also seeing some of the home destroyed during this disaster. Strongly recommend him to make best use of your time on this island.
