Reviews

“We had a wonderful full day private Circle Island Tour with David. He was fun, informative, extremely patient with our super chatty 7 year old, and just fun to spend the day with. He made great suggestions and gave us options to keep our son engaged - whether it be exploring the tide pools at the black sand beach, telling us which malasadas to try, pointing out the best bathroom stops, or exploring Volcano National Park. He had lots of water and snacks to keep us fueled for the day in between stops, gave us time to explore places on our own a bit but was available to answer any questions we had. David also took a bunch of photos of our whole family which was a real treat. I highly recommend this tour and you should ask for David!!! - The Savage Family”

“We had a private tour around the island with Grant Mitchell and our family had the best time. We were able to customize the tour and Grant was full of information and other people even tried to join our tour to hear what he was saying. Would totally recommend to anyone. We had a great day! Thanks Grant!”

“Grant was the most entertaining, thoughtful, and knowledgeable guide. We had a private group ranging from an under-1-year-old to near-seniors and two family members in wheelchairs. We still got to see and do everything on the itinerary with minor modifications and Grant was such an amazing host making sure we were all taken care of. Seeing spewing lava, having yummy coffee and malasadas, plus the steam vent trick were my favorite highlights. We had a truly incredible, bucket-list day and he'll be a special part of our family's experience forever!.”

To walking many of the trails at Volcano National Park. Our guide Jim was full of interesting facts, the vehicle and driving was perfect, lunch and snacks too. Also recommend that you do this tour early on your visit - helps build the rest of your adventures for your stay! Thank you!!”

Great Tour Guarantee

At Kailani Tours, our top priority is delivering unforgettable Big Island experiences. We’re confident that you’ll find our tours enriching and well worth your time. If for any reason you feel otherwise, please tell us. We’ll make it right, whether that means inviting you on another tour, issuing a refund, or providing a voucher for a future visit. Your time is precious, and we’re honored that you choose to spend it exploring the Big Island with us.

Here’s what we cannot guarantee:

Mother Nature has her own schedule, and while we wish we could promise a spectacular lava show, it’s truly up to the forces of the earth.

You’ll have full access to every part of the parks.

Volcano National Park areas are subject to closures based on safety assessments by park officials. As always, safety is our top priority and we can easily adapt our itinerary to make sure you get the best experience possible.

You’ll experience perfect weather

The Big Island’s weather can be as unpredictable as it is beautiful. We can’t guarantee sunshine and clear skies every day, but the dynamic weather is part of the island’s charm.

We value your decision to discover the Big Island with us, and we’re committed to making your tour a highlight of your Hawaii visit.
