What people are saying about Waikoloa Village

This was an amazing experience. I would have enjoyed more hiking. But the stops were all incredible and I loved everything we viewed. The steaming crater was amazing. The private lava tube was absolutely spectacular and a truly unique experience. I really enjoyed the fissures and the cinder cone. And the view from the cliffs at dinner was awe inspiring! Maddie was a great guide and took care of everything you could want on a full day tour. The food and snacks were delicious and dinner hot and a wonderful. I highly recommend this excursion!

It was fantastic, from start to finish. Our guide Maddie was excellent - clear, easy to understand and extremely interesting. She knew exactly how to get everywhere, took us to the least crowded places with great views, pointed out a lot of the wildlife along the way and told us all about it.... The van was comfortable, the food [lunch, dinner and snacks] very good and plentiful, great walks... I really can't say enough about the whole experience.

It was a really cool experience! We saw lots of fish. We even got to see a few sharks (the crew states that this was a rare occurrence). The tour guide was funny and did a good job explaining what was going on and what will be going on.

Great guides, really fun experience, felt super safe and learned a lot. We saw sharks! Highly recommend especially for anyone who isn’t able to scuba dive.

A very unique experience exploring the reefs and seeing fish, sharks and wrecks. Everyone had a window. The crew was organized and amazing.
