Our driver Scottie from Temptation Tours was the best I've ever seen. Kept us engaged the whole ride. Knew everything about the island, people, history. Knew all of the best places to stop, where all of the good and bad bathrooms were down to the minute. Told us when the drive by pic was coming up so that we knew to get our phones/camera ready. Stopped multiple times and took the best video and pics of not only us but something cool on the stop. The wraps at lunch were superb. The captain's chairs in the van were perfect. Flying back with Troy from Maui Air was just as incredible. He played cool music and the ride was smooth. Saw a bunch of the falls and even played a little "chase and ride along" a friend he spotted in an ultralight. Highly recommend this combo. We were back at the hotel by early afternoon! Veltra Tours made it so easy and kept us up to date via email during our trip.

We went on the tour and when we saw it was pouring rain we were worried. Well, never fear with Lee as your guide. We saw so much and learned so much it was crazy. My 15 and 10 year old have been talking all the next day about what a nice and knowledgable person he is. When we hugged goodbye with someone who was a stranger 6 hours earlier, it was hard to leave. He was able to weave the incredible history of Hawaii throughout our trip by tyin flowers, lava, Hawaiian history, and his own story together to make an amazing tale we will NEVER FORGET. I highly recommend spending a day with Lee!

The day itself started with a local Kona coffee plantation visit that included how the coffee trees are grown, picked, sorted, and roasted. Next stop was a roadside fruit stand where we were introduced to some island fruits and veggies. There was a good drive to the furthest south bakery in the U.S. where our tour guide Grant filled the drive time giving us the layout of the island. From there we visited a black sands beach and looked out for sea turtles. After the beach, we headed to Volcano Park to see the volcano during day light hours and checkout the Dr Jagger museum. Then the dinner... food was good and we had a chance to talk to other members on the tour. This led to the sun setting and the final activity... the volcano at night. The glow of the cauldron is amazing in of itself, but Grant pulled out a telescope and we not only got a close up view of the spattering lava, he also was able to record it on our phones!
Grant was a phenomenal tour guide! He was personable, full of facts and information, and delivered them in a fun, witty way. From the moment of being picked up, Grant was pointing plants and notable sights to the left and the right the entire time we were in the tour van.

This was a tour which we will never forget! My husband, Bill and my brother Gary and his wife Deb thoroughly enjoyed this and Lee was the perfect guide. He was very knowledgeable about the culture and being a native new the area well. He answered all our questions an excellent host to us and friendly to everyone who we met on the way. He was also very personable and a family man talking about his family and sharing with us how he helps the children in his spare time on the island. He is a true asset to the company and to his heritage of the island. Taking a private tour is definitely worth your money and time spent on the island! Mahola! Lee
Aloha folks! Wow, so much has happened here in Hawai'i, since we toured together. the 13 climates of the planet showed up;
we had an extra-ordinary range of weather : from monsoon rains with hail and rolling, crackling thunder from Mauna Kea and
Mauna loa. Then clear, blue quiet skies. rolling waterfalls and quiet heavens...and then thunder and lightning and wind from the sea...
Mahalo for the memories.

A Wonderful experience! The day was beautiful, the guide was knowledgeable, the bus was comfortable, and the food was very good. We are not the sort to get up in the middle of the night for a sunrise tour, so we signed up for the sunset version instead and will view the video in reverse:-) But seriously, we enjoyed the spectacular as-advertised views, along with the narrative. Our only discomfort came with the cold temperature at the summit. Despite the fact that we were prepared, it still got pretty chilly! If you're going, take the suggestions regarding warm clothing seriously!

絶対参加した方がいいおススメツアーでした。
ハワイは2回目の私と初めての夫と参加しました。よくあるハワイじゃない所にいきたいと探していたところ、こちらのツアーを発見!!
口コミを読んでこれだ!と即申し込み大正解な本当に良いツアーでした。
女性ガイド兼インストラクターの方が気さくで明るく、知識豊富でハワイの伝説を分かりやすく丁寧にお話してくださるので、昔の人たちと同じ景色を見ているんだという気持ちを味わえました。本当に鳥肌モノです!
シュノーケリングしたビーチには、日本人は私たちだけ、ツーリストもチラホラくらいでプライベート感満載ですし、現地のスーパーで買ったランチをビーチでランチピクニック、のんびりとロコ気分も味わえます(^^)
シュノーケリングはガイドさんのケアが素晴らしく、初めてでも安心して楽しめます。
岩場を魚を探しながら泳ぐのはとても楽しかったです。
かわいい魚をたくさん見る事ができました。
運転がとてもお上手でドライブも気持ちよく、ワイキキから刻一刻と変わる景色を見ながらの
快適な移動でした。
またこのツアーに参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

ハレアカラ火山はお天気もよく、雲海、サンセット、星空と全て感動の景色が見れて最高でした。日本では見れないたくさんの星を、空いっぱいに見ることができました。色々な星について説明を聞きながら、望遠鏡で星を観測します。小学生の子供達も満天の星空に感動し、ガイドさん(山ちゃん)の説明を聞いて楽しそうに天体観測していました。また、ハレアカラ火山までの道中、ガイドさんからマウイ島に関する情報や美味しいお店の情報などを教えてくれたので、その後の観光にも大変役立ちました。
途中ドーナッツ屋さん、地元のスーパー、農園のお土産屋さんにも立ち寄るので、買い物も楽しめました。トイレは立ち寄りの度に行けますし、ハレアカラ火山にもあるので、トイレが近い私も安心して参加できました。

This is the tour for people who like to be on there own once they get there. This is broken into two parts morning activity and afternoon activity. You have a fully narrated ride over to the North Shore telling you virtually everything about the island. Also all landmarks are pointed out. You arrive get snacks if needed. You are then dropped off at your first activity. The falls etc. Pk up time is set you meet back at bus and your off to bike,kayak,shop or lunch or whatever. Your pk up time is set for your hassle free ride back to waikiki. All fully narrated back. Worth every penny. AC was our guide and knew everything about the island. Was the highlight of our trip.

On Friday March 16th, 2018 my family and I attended the Deluxe Volcano Night Lava Viewing with Dinner at Kilauea Lodge & Stargazing Tour that also included the coffee trip to the Kona Joe Coffee Farm, Punaluu Bakery and the Black sand beach. To start, I have to say our guide Uncle Jim made the trip well worth the time and money we invested. He was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and most of all both engaging and entertaining. From the history, folklore and ancient stories to the general knowledge of Hawaiian culture there was rarely a moment where we were not enjoying the tour. We started out from our resort and Jim began to answer our questions and tell us stories of the landscape (lava, terraforming and the effects of adding green spaces to the resorts on the climate) and a Captain Cook story. As we moved on and picked up the other guests the stories continued as he pointed out various points of interest and beaches we may want to visit on our own. Some great aspect to the tour were the mythical stories of the gods and goddesses and how they actually mirror what it believed to be the realities of the Hawaiian Islands today. Each of the stops we made were better than promised, lunch and dinner were both great and Uncle Jim having a telescope for the night time volcano viewing was great. Some of the highlights from our perspective were walking down a lava tube, walking through the steam vents, picturesque picnic lunch and the gathering of stones to gift to the volcano later in the day with a chant led by Uncle Jim. And I can’t forget the smell of the Huli Huli chicken BBQ that he teased us with that I never did actually get back to try, maybe on our next visit. I would recommend this as a must do tour on your trip to the big island and ask for Uncle Jim, he will make the tour that much better.

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience despite the early start and the freezing temperature! Collected from our hotel at 3am by Netty. Very informative time on the coach, which was very comfortable but also allowed some time to nap before arriving at the mountain top. It was very cold despite wearing lots of layers ( we had been warned!) and our hotel had lent us blankets. Had about an hours wait before the sun started to come up. The sunrise was beautiful. We stopped for a good breakfast on the way back and returned to our hotel around 11am.

初めてのハワイ 旅行でしたが、ハワイ独特の自然を楽しみたかった為このツアーに参加させて頂きました。
結果、ワイキキ市街では味わうことの出来ない、海も陸も含めたオアフ島の魅力を楽しむ事ができてとても楽しかったです。
そしてこのツアーの魅力の一つが、ガイドのAkimaさん。
とても気さくな優しい方だったので、まるでハワイ在住の友達に観光案内をしてもらっているかの樣な、とても贅沢な時間を過ごす事ができました。
また、Akimaさんはハワイに関する知識がとても豊富で、シュノーケリング前に立ち寄る各スポットに関する事、及びハワイ全般に関する事等を楽しく教えて下さるので、移動中もとても楽しい時間となり、よりハワイに興味が湧きました。
これは頼りになる日本語ガイドさんがいて下さるからこそのポイントですね。
また、シュノーケリング初体験の私達でしたが、Akimaさんが根気よく付き添ってくれたお陰で楽しくシュノーケリングが出来ました。(フムフムヌクヌクアプアアが見られました!)
体力に自信のない方でもガイドの方が持っているフロートに掴まりながら泳ぐ事で楽しくシュノーケリング出来るはずですよ。(私の妻もそうしていました)
そしてシュノーケリング以外にも色々なスポットを巡りました。
その中でも個人的なハイライトは洞窟、のんびりとしたビーチでのお昼ご飯、そしてマクア渓谷です。特にマカハ渓谷の山の姿はとても印象的で私にとってのハワイの原風景となりました。
長々と書いてしまいましたが、
再びハワイを訪れる際には(別のツアーの形でも)是非お願いしたいと思います。
それほど楽しかったツアーでした。
レビューありがとうございます。
初ハワイで西オアフ、オアフ島の印象がだいぶ変わったのですないのでしょうか? オアフ島でもまだまだこういう人の手の入っていないところがあるんですよ~。
ハワイのパワーたっぷり浴びていただけたかと思います。
またお待ちしておりますね!

Preston was our driver for the tour and he was hilarious. He managed to make our entire group laugh and stay engaged on our ride up to Haleakala. We felt safe with him as our tour leader and driver and would assure anyone going with Preston that you would have a great time. I HIGHLY recommend anyone considering the visit to view the sunrise to go with a tour group as the drive up is completely dark, on extremely narrow roads, and quite difficult to navigate. We had a care rental for our entire trip but were incredibly glad that we went with the route of having an operator take us up and down the mountain. The tour was informative and just so easy--from pick-up to drop-off.

We just wanted to get out of Waikiki for half a day and this was the perfect tour. Jarod our tour guide was 100% local and had so much interesting local knowledge to impart. Took us to some great locations. Only thing I would say was a slight negative was that the jeep is probably not that comfortable for 4 adults. Initially it was just my partner and myself and we were so excited but then picked up another 2 males - so was fairly crammed in back seat. Would have liked it to be topless as well.

Our tour was to fly to the other side of the island and then ride a tour mini van through the mountains/rainforests back to the helipad. Nice Tour guide Scott as he knew the whole island bit by bit of it which gave us many memorable nature spots along the ride. He was very helpful in clicking pics and explaining us about island, people and vegetation

This is a great place to learn about all the Polynesian islands aside from Hawaii. The only thing .. I would've liked for my son to have had more of a hands on experience with the different activities the center offers within each island. We had the ambassador pass and the tour took us quickly from island to island not really giving us a chance to engage in the activities. Or maybe I just thought it would be like the experience I had when I visited back in 2003. Regardless, the night show, Ha .. the breath of life, is a fantastic way to close anyone's night with a memory that will be treasured for a lifetime.

We had such a good time. There was 7 of us in our group. Some of us had been to Oahu before and some had not. We wanted to take a smaller, more personal tour. So we could all be TOGETHER and learn some of the history of the islands while seeing all the sights.
Our driver was insightful, and fun. He answered all of our inquiries with so much knowledge.
Everyone of us enjoyed the whole tour. It was nice to be able to talk, visit, take pictures and not have to worry about driving and finding the way ourselves.
