Overview

What makes my tours special is that I will take you to places other tours will not go. We drive north of Hilo to see the surf spots were we will drive slowly down a narrow road. I will narrate to you about the surfers as they catching waves. We drive over old bridges through the lush jungle seeing many waterfalls. I will tell you about the plants, history, and real estate. We stop for iced coconuts if the vendor is there, then we will stop for whipped icecream. We stop to feed the wild pigs in one area if they're there. Then we will shop at the volcano village for things made in hawaii at the gift shop, and you can get food at the store to go. In the Hawaii Volcano National Park we will walk in a lava field to look for peacock lava, and I will take pictures of you inside of a fissure. I will take photos of you at all of my stops, and I will tell you the hawaiian mythology story's. I will bring fruit to sample from my farm, or stop at a fruit stand so you can buy fruit.

Meeting points

I will meet you in the center of the building on the left side after you come off the ship at 8:30 am at Hilo Harbor.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Hilo trip

Published on Feb, 2025

The whole trip was an amazing experience and I would totally recommend Don and this trip , please don’t be worried about getting back to the cruise ship on time as Don will get you back fine. He packed so much into the day and told us so much information as we went round and we visited some places that a normal tour would just not go too. It is well worth the cost and I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting this amazing island . Simon , from England

Amazing local experience

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a wonderful tour with Don, he took us to all the big attractions but also to so many local areas. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and took great care of us. We had a group size of 14 so no waiting for a bus load of people at each stop making this tour a faster pace that made the day fly by in a great way!

Best tor for You.
