Dan was a great guide. He gave us all the history and interesting info about the stuff we saw and we had a great conversation the whole trip. He allowed us to wander off and come back, took photos for us, provided flashlights for the lava tube, and we even got to share some local produce. This tour was well worth the price we paid. They had the whole thing planned out perfectly and we even learned a bunch of things about the areas we visited. Dan gave us plenty of time to wander at each stop and got us back on the road to the next stop like clockwork. We happened to book a day with perfect weather and since it was a non-cruise day, our group was very small and personal. Everyone was friendly, the car was clean and comfortable (AC worked well!) and we genuinely had a great time.
Aloha Ohana, Mahalo for your awesome review, we deeply appreciate it. Dan is such an awesome guide and we are so glad that you have experienced the utmost ALOHA with him. Mahalo for choosing Malahini Tours and it would be our pleasure to welcome you again.
So cool! Lots of steaming going on but unfortuneately no fountaining while we visited. It was interesting to see all the fissures and smooth lava fields within the crater itself. Definitely worth a visit here.
Aloha Sandy, Thank you for choosing Malahini Tours. We appreciate the review. We hope that we can welcome you back for another lottery view of Kilauea's Volcanic activity.
Outstanding trip for those who don't want to do the driving and get a taste of the Gardens, Rainbow Falls and the volcano. Dan provided is with a lot of facts and information about the Big Island

Kimo was great. Knowledgeable, kind, friendly. He took us to some places I might not have thought to go if I were driving around on my own. He gave recommendations for other locations to explore on our own as well.

Great tour, Kimo was great, only 9 of us. The perfect balance of information and quiet and really enjoyed hearing about his family and the way they live. The stops were the perfect amount of time. Thank you Kimo, highly recommend
Aloha, thank you for choosing Malahini Tours. We appreciate your support and feedback and hope to welcome you on another adventure with us.
So glad I found Malahini Tours. Our tour guide Dan was OUTSTANDING to say the least. The pick up was right on schedule at Hilo Airport and from there he provided a non-stop in depth narration of everything we saw. Dan's knowledge of the island and his easy going attitude made this trip even better. He even stopped at a local fruit stand and got several different things to try after our lava tube visit. Sweet and fresh island treats. The highlight of the tour was Volcano national park. Absoliutley breathtaking. I highly recomend Malahini Tours when visiting the Big island. Thank you again Dan for making our trip so enjoyable.
Aloha Lad, mahalo for supporting Malahini Tours!!! We appreciate you and can’t wait to have you folks on tour again. I am glad Dan was able to share the ultimate Aloha experience with a taste of the Big Island. Mahalo!!
Our guide/driver Dan was excellent. He was very informative about the legends and history of the place and the island. He knew all the spots to go to in order to see the volcanoes. Unfortunately, we arrived just one day short of the 50th eruption event :( I'm still glad we went as it was on my bucket list of things to do in Hawaii.
Mahalo for choosing Malahini Tours! We appreciate your review and share your sadness in missing it by 1 day. we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and enjoy yet another adventure in Hawaii. Until next time , A hui hou!!
Our tour guide Kimo was very kind and knowledgeable one of a kind.
Thank you for choosing Malahini Tours. We truly appreciate your review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your tour with Kimo and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
