Reviews

Our driver, Koa was the best! So full of information, so kind and has great energy! We are so happy we took this tour and will have so many wonderful memories forever. Thank you

Mei and Jason were perfect tour guide and very knowledgeable of the history. Jason even told us personal stories about his family and the island. Recommend booking with them.

Absolutely amazing!! I had so much fun on this trip. We drove around to so many spots. We got a couple quick views of some beaches, the macadamia nut tastery, blowhole Lookout, drive past some landmarks, see a few turtles, have some lunch, visit a fruit stand, plus a shaved ice place (an absolute steal!) as the cherry on top. I learned a ton about the island and culture the first day I was out. I would absolutely go again. ❤️

Our tour guide was amazing gave us all the best local spots as well as taught us the best route to skip all the traffic 10/10 would recommend for people to do this on your vacation

We had a wonderful day with Jason and Mei. We had good food, saw great scenery and learned a lot about the island. Jason and Mei were very helpful, friendly and informative. I hope we get to take another tour with them on our next visit.

My second time doing this tour and Koa was the best! He’s very respectful, funny and made it the best tour! Hope to be on a tour with him again in the near future!! Thank you Koa and AYC! Best tour on the island! ALOHA <3
