Our tour guide David was knowledgeable and entertaining. It was allot of driving, but David kept things interesting with his stories about the island and its people. The various stops were very nice and we really enjoyed the volcano national park, the waterfalls, and the black sand beach!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Dongha N-HardyDecember 16, 2024We hired Kailani tours for the convenience, experiences, and unbeatable prices. Our guide, Chris, made sure we were comfortable and answered all our questions for recommendations. Don’t hesitate to purchase the private tour as it was more catered and flexible to what we wanted to do. We traveled as a family of 6 and a baby and even the baby was comfortable. We stayed in Waimea and the convenience for them to pick us up directly from our AirBnB and did the tour of the whole island, from volcanos, coffee shops, and more. Don’t hesitate! It’s worth the money. Thank you, Chris!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Barbara W RossmannDecember 13, 2024We enjoyed a very full and targeted experience with Dave C on our Hawaii Island tour. Dave filled our travel time with relevant details of the island and took great care of us. While a long day, in the end— it was worth the time commitment. Thx Dave for your excellence —- 🌞Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.John OwenDecember 12, 2024Very impressed with Kailani Tours from start to finish! I highly recommend the Big Island Highlights Day Tour! Our tour guide, Grant, was very personable and knowledgeable. Ask for him for your tour!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.John EmmonsDecember 12, 2024Dave C was great! He was informed, entertaining, and a really nice guy. Based on the tour we had today, I can wholeheartedly recommend Kailani Tours Hawaii. I will certainly use them in the future Second tour with Kawika was even better than our first. The next time we visit the Big Island, we will definitely use Kailani Tours. If we're lucky, we will have Kawika as our tour guide!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.aurora martinezDecember 11, 2024Excellent attention and guide touristic, very professional historical narration by Mr. Dave C. I learned a lot about hawaii.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sean CommoDecember 11, 2024Our private tour of the Big Island of Hawaii was absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, the experience exceeded all expectations, thanks in large part to our incredible guide, Grant. As a volcanologist, Grant was exceptionally well-versed in the geology of volcanoes, which made our visit to Volcanoes National Park truly unforgettable. His passion and expertise brought the park to life, as he explained everything from the formation of lava fields to the history of the island’s volcanic activity in a way that was both fascinating and easy to understand. The park was awe-inspiring, but the day didn’t end there. We also visited the breathtaking black sand beaches, where we were lucky enough to see sea turtles up close—an unforgettable moment! His personable, funny, and warm demeanor made the tour feel relaxed and enjoyable, like spending the day with an old friend. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and Grant ensured that every detail was perfect. He even went out of his way to capture family photos for us at the most picturesque spots. If you’re planning a trip to the Big Island, don’t miss this tour—especially if you have the chance to experience it with Grant. His knowledge of the island’s geology and culture, combined with his genuine enthusiasm, made this the highlight of our trip. We’ll treasure the memories forever!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Michael PaulhusDecember 11, 2024Tour itself and guide was perfect. Got to see the Volcano, Lava tube, all sorts of stuff. Only suggestion I have is on the vehicle. We were a group of 13 and the last to get in the van. Unfortunately, that meant we were in the last row, which seats 4 across. Way too tight of a fit. Ditch the 4th row and just go with 3 seats and only take 12 ppl. That would make everything better for everyone.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Joanne HarbourDecember 11, 2024Recently took a tour of the island using Kailani Tours with Dave C as our guide. During the long drive, Dave kept us entertained and well informed. Due to time limitations, we were unable to stay at any of our stops for very long, but the time was sufficient to take in the views and get the information. The minibus was comfortable to accommodate the long day, and Dave was very attentive and kind. My only suggestion would be to possibly cut out the coffee stop since we only had time to get a cup of coffee and not take a tour the farm, and go straight to the bakery for breakfast. Thank you, Dave. VickieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Brittany WaggenerDecember 10, 2024Dave our tour guide for the 11 hour tour was phenomenal! He was so informative and an amazing story teller-he really painted the story in my mind! 100% worth the money and even though I was concerned about it being 11 hours, it didn’t drag and I was energetic and had so much fun the whole time! Walking through the lava tube was probably my favorite part but I lovvvved the whole experience.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
