A friend arranged the trip with Ricky and he assured her that there would only be 6 people in our tour. When we arrived in Hilo we were met by a 15 person van with 3 rows of seats behind the driver and front passenger. Van totally filled up with people in all rows. Some people were large and had...

Ricky picked us up at promised at the cruise ship port on Hilo. He is a very respectful and knowledgeable tour guide. He was constantly giving us interesting facts about the island and Hawaiian culture. We got to tour the black sand beach, Rainbow falls, an orchid farm and the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut farm. We also took a tour... More

Saw Ricky's reviews on tripadvisor before we left so I called him. Set up the tour and couldn't wait to arrive. Ricky was wonderful. Great knowledge, great tour, great price. He hit several areas listed on different cruise excursions and a very reasonable price. It ended up that just 4 of us (all related) were on the tour, so when... More

Picked up us at the pier, off on our adventure by 9:30. First stop Rainbow Falls for a photo op. Many scenic stops along the way.

Have to look at the pics to refresh my... More

Great tour, Ricky is very knowledgeable of the island. We had a great personal tour of the island and saw a variety of landmarks. The tours last about 5 1/2 hours. There is food at the Mac Nut Co. stop. More

We took this tour on April12th from the Cruise ship and chose it because Ricky only takes up to 12 people. The fewer people the more time for the important stops. He pick up us on time and switched up the tour abit so that all the tours were not meeting at the first place and causing a "people jam".... More

We booked a tour with Ricky for a group of us sailing on the Pride of America. Ricky was so accomodating and friendly! He has a wealth of information and knowledge of the island and he gave us plenty of opportunity for shopping, taking pictures, eating - whatever we would like to do. We saw both Akaka Falls and Rainbow... More

Had a great tour with Ricky in Hilo. We were only there for one day and wanted to see as much as we could. Ricky took us everywhere! I booked this on-line with Ricky and he required no deposit. He picked us up at the Harbor in a small, clean van (no big tour bus). I think the van could... More
