Very Satisfied! - Derek is very professional and his van is exceptionally comfortable and stocked with so many extras that might be needed for your tour day. When I booked I was a little concerned about the relatively small number of reviews, but now I know--- it was difficult to find the place to actually write a review. I was sent a link specifically to review this tour, but then when I clicked on it the link only gave me options to review other tours for some reason. I am glad I went ahead with this tour.

Fabulous Day in Hilo! Our group spend a wonderful day touring with Derek! Strongly recommend booking him! - We visited Volcano National Park, Rainbow Falls, a black sand beach, Five Mile Drive, and Farmer’s Market and enjoyed his commentary along the way. His vehicle is very comfortable with easy entry/exit. You won’t regret booking with him!!!

Fun tour - We had a great time with Derrick. He was very accommodating with our schedule and flexible. The van was super comfy. At the end of the day our kids were tired and we put on a movie for them to watch in the van and we could relax. He offered water as well. He took us to an awesome market where we got fresh fruits coconut water banana bread and Spanish bread. We also got summer rolls with amazing peanut sauce! We went to the kilawea erupting volcano and saw lava spewing out of the crater. We went to rainbow water falls and several scenic spots. Highly recommend!

Wonderful day in Hilo with Derrick - We spent a wonderful day with Derrick. His van is super comfortable, and he is a delightful guide. We were lucky he took us to the best viewing place to see Kilauea erupting! We loved his passion for the Big Island and his knowledge about the best places to see. Would definitely recommend taking his tour!

Great Time in Hilo! - Derrick’s tour around Hilo was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and was able to take us all around Hilo and taught us about the history and culture. We highly recommend Derrick for tours around Hilo, he even gave us recommendations for Kona and we even ran into him again the next day. We were on the Pride of America, he picked us up at the port and made it very easy. We were traveling with a toddler and Derrick made sure to have a car seat safely installed for him prior to the tour.

Nice quaint Hilo experience. - Chose a small private tour of Hilo on our cruise stop. Not disappointed. Derrick was very personable. Nice comfortable van. Derrick was knowledgeable and always wanting to learn more about his island. The tour was very flexible and he allowed us to see what we wanted to see with adequate time each stop. We recommend Derrick for those small personal groups.

Best day in Hilo with Derrick - Derrick was wonderful! He was great with communication in regards to how the day was going to go and what we were going to see. We were a family of 7 and were very comfortable in the van. He even had waters for us. He was very knowledgeable and was very patient with all our questions we had about the island. I highly recommend booking with Derrick. We had the best time!

A fun 2 days visiting the Big Island - One word FANTASTIC! Went with 2 other couples (friends) and had a great two days with Derick. Didn't know where to go and what to expect on our first Hawaiian vacation, so we left it up to Derick to show us both sides of the big Island. He took us to so many beautiful spots that were not the common tourist traps. Had the best fish tacos from a little place he knows. If you want a great day or two when visiting you'll love seeing it with Derick. He's a one man operation, Owner and Tour guide

An outstanding tour of Hilo. - Our pick up at the cruise dock was easy and quick, and we had an amazing day with Derek, as he took us to the volcano, macadamia nut farm, lava tube, waterfall and more. We had a group of eight people, and the van was spacious and comfortable.
