We enjoyed the entire trip. Katie was knowledgeable, kind, funny and sweet. This was the best excursion of our trip. There were only four of us touring with our guide. Good food and good company!

We had such a phenomenal day with Katie as our tour guide. She has such a wide knowledge of the island, flora, fauna and the local legends of the island and surrounding areas. She took us to some phenomenal locations and got to see the turtles, and even a nene goose or two! We had a great time in the Hawaii volcanoes national park! Would recommend to anyone in a heart beat!

We had our trip with Katie and she was absolutely amazing. Friendly and attentive all day, She knew every single route on the way, and gave us tons of information about Hawaii, its history, its culture, its people and its geography. I had my 10yo daughter with us an she was really amazed by the trip. I really recommend this if you’re travelling to the island. Without this tour, we could have easily missed the experience.
