Kailani Tours delivers consistently exceptional Big Island experiences, thanks to guides who clearly love what they do. Grant, Kaweka, Toby, Thea, and Paul all earn enthusiastic praise for their deep knowledge of Hawaiian geology, history, and culture. These aren't just drivers pointing out landmarks—they're passionate storytellers who keep groups engaged even during longer stretches between stops. Several travelers mention how the guides' insights and personality made time fly by, with one visitor noting they learned far more than on a previous tour with another company. The volcano tours are particularly popular, with guides bringing telescopes to view Kilauea's eruptions and going above and beyond (like Kaweka returning to the volcano when lava was actively flowing). Local-born guides add an authentic perspective that resonates with visitors, sharing cultural knowledge and practical recommendations for the rest of their trip. It's worth noting this is a full-day commitment, but the consistent five-star feedback suggests the experience justifies the time investment. Multiple international travelers and repeat visitors call it their best tour ever.
We had the absolute best experience with Kailani Tours, and our guide Kawika made the day unforgettable. He was so knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Hawaiian history and culture. A couple of years ago, we did a tour with another company on the Big Island and loved it, but we learned so much more this time because of Kawika. Even during the longer stretches of driving, his stories and insights kept us completely absorbed, the time just flew by. Honestly, I would have paid just to learn from him, even without visiting all of the incredible stops along the way! Kawika also made everyone feel like part of the family. The tour itself was excellent, but his guidance elevated it into something truly special. If you’re lucky enough to get Kawika as your guide, you’re in for an amazing tour.
