Jill is a native of Hawaii and was incredibly knowledgeable! She answered every question we had. She showed us multiple stops in our short time, each one a treasure. We felt like we got more than our money's worth with Mauka Makai Adventures and recommend them to anyone wanting to learn about Hawaii and its rich culture. This was one of our favorite stops thanks to Jill and the wonderful places we stopped..

Excellent tour and tour guide Jill. We were in a small van and toured all around the Kona area with stops a Kona coffee farm, Kealakekua Bay Pu'uhonua National Park, the Painted Church and Donkey Balls chocolates. A good morning!

My husband and I had an awesome day with Josh and several others, that we did not know, from our cruise ship. He took us all around Hilo and showed us sights the larger groups couldn’t see or access. The time spent spelunking and at the lava field was a definite highlight! Josh was extremely knowledgeable and personable and made the day one of our favorites. I don’t normally write reviews, but I just can’t say enough about the wonderful day we had. I highly recommend booking Mauka Makai for your Hilo or Kona adventures.

We had a fantastic day with Josh, he took us to places that big tour companies would not visit, also organised the trip to avoid the big crowds!

We booked this tour through Jill and she was very accommodating and nice. This tour was the best tour we had during our stay in Hawaii. Josh was our guide and he was terrific! We saw more than we expected and just when we thought we had seen it all he took us to another beautiful place. His knowledge and love of the island gave us an experience that we will never forget. We saw lava fields, caves, waterfalls, black sand beaches, a HUGE banyan tree, sea turtles, and had a great lunch in a breathtaking spot. Mauka Makai Adventures is outstanding!
