Step into island life and adventures in Hilo - Lots of walking available but not required. Our guide, Kimo, was full of facts and insight about island living and history. He was very helpful with guests who needed help getting into or out of the 10-passenger van. Kimo was also very generous with several surprise gifts/goodies. I came away with a genuine urge to return to the island to experience even more!

A great first visit to Hilo and Volcanoes! - Kimo our driver was amazing! He gave us a very interesting and humorous commentary as we drove along, with lots of background information. We had plenty of time to explore at each of our stops. We visited the Japanese Gardens, Rainbow Falls, the Big Island Candy Factory, and Volcano Park, where we got to walk through a lava tube and see the huge steam spout from the still active volcano. Kimo picked us up at our cruise ship port, and showed us the town of Hilo along the way. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Great time with Malahini Tours in Hilo Hawaii!! - This tour was one of the highlights of cruise to Hawaii! We had a great time and got to see a lot of different sights for a very reasonable price! Our tour guide Kimo was absolutely awesome and made us feel like family! If you take a cruise to Hawaii and go into port at Hilo, this tour is definitely worth your time. In our case it was much more reasonable than the cruise excursions and you can meet the “Malahini Tours” tour guides right when you come out of the building at port. And if you ask for Kimo to be your tour guide you will not be disappointed!!

Great Day at Hilo with Alex from Malahini Tours. - Myself and five others in group had a great day on Tuesday 22nd Oct. with Alex Galdones from Malahini Tours. Alex was very knowledgeable, informative and at times with great humor, went over and beyond his duty to make sure we had a great time showing us all the important sites including the Japanese Gardens, Rainbow Falls, The live Kilauea Volcano Caldera, Steam Vents, The Lava Tube, the Black Sand beach at Richardson Ocean Park and even found us a Turtle to take photos of on way back to Hilo. If you're heading to Hilo I would strongly recommend calling Malahini Tours on (808) 315-4212 for a memorable day tour of the island. Cheers, Adam Di Cesare

Super nice tour of Hilo from a great tour guide - Nice tour from the Port. Leo was very knowledgeable and a fun tour guide.Good price. Would use again. Leo is a native Hawaiian so we enjoyed all of her info on Hilo.

Great tour and tour guide - We were picked up at the cruise terminal and then went to a nearby hotel to pick up another couple. We had 9 people in our tour group. Our driver, Kimo, was great! Kimo grew up on the big island of Hawaii so he was a wealth of information about Hawaii and the Hawiian culture. He definitely has the aloha spirit and is an excellent ambassador for Hawaii. We visited a beautiful park and downtown Hilo where we learned about Hilo's history. Then we took an informative and enjoyable ride up Mona Loa to the caldera of the volcano. We walked through a lava tube and visited the steam vents of the still active volcano then, we stopped at the Volcano Hotel gift shop where we got to shop and take a short break. Kimo even treated us to some Macadamia nuts. After the Volcano, we went to uptown Hilo where we learned about the tsunami that destroyed old Hilo. From Hilo we were taken to a black sand beach and heard a touching story about it's history. We even got to see where Kimo grew up and spent his youth. This tour was great and Kimo was fantastic! I ŵould do this again and recommend it to anyone.

Malahini Tours - Wonderful Day - Our guide/driver, Alex, gave us first hand accounts and history that made our day more than just a guided tour day. His knowledge of the island and people of Hawaii made it authentic and enjoyable. He was able to connect the whole group (7 of us) into a fun time of fellowship and exploration together. He provided water and allowed us to manage the day as we wished - seeing much more than just the craters and volcanos. I would recommend him to anyone visiting the island. We found him as we were walking from the cruise port this morning and he gave us a full day!
