    Review summary

    4.9
    Excellent
    6.6K reviews•Google Maps

    Wasabi Tours consistently delivers exceptional Big Island experiences, and it's clear the magic lies with their guides. Kevin, Jason, Chris, Derek, Dreu, and Felix all get glowing mentions for being knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely passionate about sharing Hawaii's culture and history. These aren't just drivers—they're storytellers who bring the island to life, often talking for hours while keeping everyone engaged and entertained. The Grand Circle Island Tour is the main attraction, covering volcanoes, waterfalls, black sand beaches, coffee farms, and plenty of photo ops across an action-packed 10-12 hour day. A few practical notes: It's a long day in the van, so bring layers since the AC runs cold. Most travelers find the comprehensive itinerary perfect for getting oriented and deciding what to revisit later, though one person felt some stops were rushed or redundant. One reviewer mentioned a guide who discouraged conversation, which was an outlier among otherwise enthusiastic feedback. The consensus is overwhelmingly positive—this tour gives you maximum sightseeing with minimal driving stress, led by guides who genuinely love what they do.

    We had a fantastic experience on the Twilight Volcano & Stargazing Tour with Wasabi Tours! Everything was well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. A big shoutout to our guide, Derek! He really made the tour stand out. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the island. He shared a lot of interesting information about the volcano and local history, and kept the group entertained the whole time. Volcanoes National Park was a highlight of the trip, but all the stops along the way made the entire day so enjoyable. We are huge fans of coffee and seeing the coffee farms of the Kona coffee belt first hand was amazing. Derek’s guidance and the overall experience of seeing the wonders of the island of Hawaii made the tour so memorable. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, I’d definitely recommend it—especially if you get Derek as your guide!
