We were a group of 15 family members aged 11 to 80 sailing on Norwegian's Pride of America. We thoroughly enjoyed the tours in both Hilo (full day) and Kona (half-day) and would use Mauka Makai again if we came back. Tour guides were exceptional guides and safe drivers. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and time spent with Jill. She was professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with. From black sand beach to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and experiencing steam vents, walking thru rainforest and walking on lava flows it’s a tour you should not miss. Lunch supplied was good, the van was cool and comfortable. We also stopped at Island Candies for chocolate and coffee tasting. Wonderful day in Hilo!

We loved our tour with Josh, he collected us from the Pride of America and we spent a fabulous day touring the Island with 5 other people. I booked this trip last minute via TripAdvisor as I wasn’t sure about renting a car and I’m so glad we did this trip rather than our own Self-guided one. We learnt so much about the area, loved our visit to the Volcano National Park (pouring with rain but it was fine!) the waterfalls were pretty and we loved seeing the turtles on the beach. It was so so tempting to take some volcanic rock home but we respected the rules (and the gods) and left it there!! Lunch was so delicious. We weren’t really bothered about the orchid farm or chocolate shop but it was a nice end to a really fabulous day. Take warmer clothes for the volcano area - we did need them on. This is a fabulous shore excursion and good value. The van was comfy and there was plenty of room.
