    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.

    This was the best trip! Better than I imagined. The island is a very unique place and the volcano was a must see. Our tour guide was Mia who is a native islander. You could tell she was proud of her island and spoke with enthusiasm about the “Big island”. It was super informative and very comfortable travel. They pick you up on time in a Mercedes Benz sprinter van. Food, drink and snacks provided. Even rain gear. They take excellent care if you. It’s about 12 hours so it’s a long day but you will not regret seeing all the beautiful sites and learning about the history and the beautiful people. I have no complaints. ***Request Mia***as your guide.
