Best tour on the Island! - I just got back from the BEST day trip on the Big Island. If you're only visiting the Big Island for a short time, this is the tour to book. Our guide, Justin, was absolutely amazing. He's super knowledgeable about the island and all the cool spots, but even better than that, he made everyone feel like part of his family. He's got such a fun and welcoming personality. It felt more like hanging out with a friend than a guided tour. Trust me, you won't regret booking this! You'll have an incredible time exploring this beautiful island. Highly recommend!

The best excursion ever! - Justin is a fantastic tour guide and true storyteller. My family and I appreciated his authenticity and entertaining nature. We had such a blast and the small bonus stops were excellent. Justin loves this island and made us feel the meaning of ohana. I wish we could’ve had his wife’s cooking on tour! Choose Makaio tours for everything they have to offer. The biggest mahalo. The family photo is the best keepsake.
