Excellent tour!
My wife and I have done many ATV tours and this one led by Nate was excellent.
Machines were in top shape, the route was varied and will test your skills as we went over old volcanic terrain, through large grass, and different sands.
Finally, the scenery and Nate’s knowledge of island history was amazing.

Thank you for your awesome review! It was my pleasure to take you guys on the tour!

ATV amazing!
Nate was an excellent guide who took us on real trails to some of the most beautiful views on the southern part of the Big Island. The 3.5-hour tour flew by because it was so much fun—we never once felt like we were out that long. If you’re looking for an authentic ATV adventure with incredible scenery, this tour is definitely worth it!

Where the locals hang
From all the ATV tours offered I’d recommend this one. The trail is manageable for all skill levels. The ride along the ocean was very scenic. Nathan was a great guide. GPS gets you close. When the paved road ends keep going the shop is on the left.

Highlight of our Big Island adventures
We had so much fun with Nathan on this tour. It happened to just be our family of 3 and Nathan provided so much history and knowledge along the way. We stopped at a private beach and an area where the turtles like to hang out. The terrain was so much fun, not just boring flat land. This was the highlight of our time on the Big Island and I can't recommend it enough!

Thank you so much Amy! It was my pleasure to be your guide and I am so glad you had a great time. Mahalo!☀️

Amazing views!
We had an excellent time with Nathan, our guide. The trail was so fun and challenging at times, but also manageable for a fairly new driver. Lots of shade and bumps, and the views at the stopping points were incredible. Nathan had lots of great facts and pointed out several things we wouldn’t have noticed without his guidance. Long sleeve sun shirts and some bug spray is recommended! We had a great time and highly recommend this tour.
