I would recommend Mauka Makai Adventures to anyone visiting Hilo and wanting to see the sights It included waterfalls, macadamia orchards, orchids, and volcanos. What more could you want?.

We loved our tour with Jill in Hilo! We were on a cruise ship and only had one day to see Hilo and I'm so glad we chose this excursion. It was like a sample tour of this side of the island. The volcanoes national park is breathtaking! It's the thing to do in Hilo. There was tour that was leaving from the boat that had over 100 people on it. We had a small intimate group which was so lovely. Jill provided lots of information and told wonderful stories. We spent a large amount of our time there. On this tour we also went to an orchid farm for lunch, rainbow falls, a chocolate factory and a black sand beach with turtles. It was a perfect day!

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Josh In Hilo. It was with a small group and he was a very entertaining, knowledgable and caring guide. No rushing with schedules to meet, as you get on large coach tours. Just a relaxing, interesting day. The highlight was the crater and the lava fields. We are a couple in our early 70s (the group was a mixutre of young and not so young) and would highly recommend this tour.
