Steve is the best! - Steve is amazing! The morning started off as a mess due to Norwegian’s terrible immigration process and we thought we were going to miss our excursion. Steve waited for us and 4 others so we wouldn’t miss the trip! He was very informative and helpful! Must do in Hilo!

A Must-Do on the Big Island! - We went on another tour with a different company, but did not see a few things that we really didn’t want to miss and we really prefer a guide. We booked Aloha Aina Tours for Punalu’u! The volcano views were incredible, and Punaluu Black Sand Beach is so unique. We saw many turtles. :) The food truck hit the spot! Our guide made our day really enjoyable. A must-do on the Big Island!
