DREU led an AMAZING tour to the volcano and with star gazing, etc! For some 12 hours non-stop he taught us SO MUCH about not just the topic of our tour but about Hawaiian life, tradition and values. He also spoiled us to the hilt with jackets, umbrellas, flash lights, you name it! It was so obvious that he wants you to not only have a great adventure, but the best adventure of your life! No wonder he's rated not only one of the best tourist guides anywhere, but perhaps the best in all Hawaii! This company is great, and Dreu is the icing on the cake! Check them out, and try to get Dreu to lead you!!!

Fantastic water falls and swim in a private waterfall pool. Driver / tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the Big Island volcanoes their history of eruptions and about the Island history. He made a special stop to let us see some dolphins and sea turtles that was not a normal part of the tour. The lunch provided was very good and the lunch location very nice.

Wonderful! Aaron was an excellent informative guide. Far exceeded my expectations. Although I had been to Hawaii several times, I saw and learned so many new things, it would have been a shame to have gone home without this experience, which included walking through a cool lava tube, Visiting a coffee farm, and lots of unexpected sites and information. The tour provided plenty of food also.

Driver was very knowledgeable and funny. He kept the long trip less boring. He was a great story teller. The vocano was beautiful at night.

We recently took the Twilight Volcano and Stargazing Tour, and it was fantastic. Aaron, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful—he’d fit right in on Jeopardy! Starting in Kona, we dealt with various weather conditions throughout the day. Wasabi Tours provided raincoats for the rain and warm jackets for stargazing. The tour included plenty of stops, so we never had to worry about finding clean restrooms. The meals, including lunch and dinner, were surprisingly good, with dinner offering a variety of options. Aaron was very informative about the volcano, making several stops and explaining each one. When a stargazing spot was too crowded, he quickly took us to a quieter location where we could enjoy the stars without any distractions. He used a pointer to help us identify the stars and constellations, which made the stargazing even better. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time at each site. I highly recommend Wasabi Tours and would book with them again.

OH man!!! Don't be discouraged by the price. After the tour, I felt like they didn't charge enough. I'm originally from Hawaii but my host (Miexia) was so friendly, fun cool Hawaii facts, tips for other places to check out while here on vacation, and even though we were out for about an 11 hr tour, it went by so quickly. Included in the package was lunch and dinner. It wasn't just a sandwich and a bag of chips. Nope. lunch and dinner were good food that locals would eat too. We hit so many places. Nature and civilized places too. Book this tour and thank me later.

The sites were great. Kona is amazing. Unfortunately our tour guide was rude and drove very aggressively. Waterfalls and views were awesome. Too bad our driver was bad.

We had an incredible tour with Stefan last week, thoroughly enjoying the stunning beauty while learning more about the Hawaiian culture and history. The waterfalls we visited were stunning, as well as the botanical garden and we even got to swim in a private waterfall area- a highlight and must-do! Although we had an impressive number of stops, we were encouraged us to savor each experience and we never felt rushed. Stefan was a fun and engaging tour guide and he is knowledgeable in so many different areas! He also has a great way with people and everywhere we went, people seemed to know him! Throughout the tour, we were well-cared for The food, snacks and beverages kept coming. We highly recommend this tour with Wasabi Tours and Stefan!

We were so thrilled with our volcano stargazing tour with Todd this past week. His knowledge of volcano geology was very impressive but we were actually blown away by his astronomy expertise. He knew all of the English and historic Arabic names of the individual stars making up the constellations. We won’t ever forget our experience of seeing the dark sky lit up with so many stars and seeing the Milky Way! And then when he pulled out his large telescope that allowed us to clearly see Saturn- no words!! It was a long day but we saw so many incredible treasures like the lava tube in Volcano National Park and getting some mild hiking in around the volcano rim. The weather was also quite mercurial that day but Todd handled the challenge quite well, even through some intense rain. He has such a buoyant and calming demeanor and we felt safe and cared for in every moment. He also had an awesome playlist that he shared with our small group in the in-between spaces that perfected matched each moment. Thank you, Todd! We highly recommend this tour with Wasabi Tours and Todd!

Makes no difference who you are. You're going to enjoy this tour. Here are some tips to KNOW BEFORE YOU GO. You will be visiting beaches and part of the base of Mauna Kea. I did the Mauna Kea summit tour with another tour group and I STRONGLY advise my fellow tourists to bring a set of Winter clothes for that portion. You're going to be cold+sorry if you don't. Shorts are cool on the black sand beaches that you will visit, but will leave you COLD when you're stargazing at the cold base of Mauna Kea. Also, bring a nice and solid pair of walking shoes. You will need them when you walk down to the lava tubes and visit various rocky sites around the volcano park. Ok, so now for the review. A wonderful way to spend an entire day. Henry was our tour guide. He was very chipper and a joy to spend the day with. You will be going to a few stops on this tour, stemming from a coffee farm where you can buy some premium fresh coffee that is grown on the Kona Coffee Belt, a Black Sand Beach with Sea turtles, and, the steamy base of Kilauea where you get to see the crater and home of where the Goddess Pele resides. You will conclude the tour somewhere at the COLD base of Mauna Kea to star gaze. You will hear some of the Hawaiian Legends of how the islands were formed. One of my favorite stories/legends was of the Lehua Ohia Tree+flower. All in all and overall, it's a good tour and a lovely way to spend a day on the Big Island and definitely worth the money. You get a little bit of everything in this tour and you basically go around the entire Big Island from Kona to Hilo. It also comes with a dinner break after you visit Kilauea and before you go off to your stargazing point. I would recommend downloading the Stellarium App if you're into stargazing and bring it along for the ride. It's the same app the Henry used at the time and it shows you all of the constellations while you're looking staring up at the sky. So happy Stargazing!

Guide was Jason on 8/21/24 he was awesome. Knew all kinds of plants as I’m a plant lover. Bay View coffee farm coffee was delicious, mangoes too! All the places we went to were great and beautiful! Saw falls, volcanoes and tropical areas. Thank you so much for an enjoyable experience!

We had an awesome time! Our tour guide Aaron was great! He was very knowledgeable, personable and friendly. The first activity we did was to the Kona Coffee Farm. We had a great time tasting coffee and looking at the step by step process to making the coffee. We also really enjoyed our lunch at the coffee farm. The second activity we did was to a bread factory. The bread was delicious and unique. Our third stop was to a black sand beach. We had an awesome time and we enjoyed the beaches unique beauty unlike most white sand beaches. Our second to last stop was to the big crater at the summit of the volcano. The view was breathtaking and it felt as if you were at a mini Grand Canyon. Our dinner was great and we enjoyed the nice smooth rides from stop to stop. Our last stop was stargazing. It was incredible! We saw almost every star in the sky. We even saw the Milky Way! All in all our trip was incredible and we loved every second of it. We would love to do it again.

Came to visit the Big Island and booked a tour with this company based on the amazing reviews as well as YouTube (Hawaii Vacation Guide). If you want a full day to get to know more history of this island while experiencing highlights in a relaxed / fun way, this is the company for you. From booking to the tour itself, they truly made things easy. I will say that this is a full day so if you have younger kids / grandparents they may stay in van for certain portions which was what happened with us and was perfectly fine. We were fortunate to get Dreu as our guide; he has been with the company for 8 years and was extremely knowledgeable. It says a lot when a person holds this position for so long yet still has the incredible excitement to make it feel like it’s his first time. Quite frankly it was so enjoyable to see someone who truly is committed and passionate about his profession. I think he is the lead guide but he shared that their company has other super talented guides. Perhaps this type of mentality is why Wasabi is so highly rated. I can highly recommend this company and this particular tour. I think that you will also be impressed at Dreu’s ability to memorize names, create a great ambiance and the plethora of information he has from Hawaiian history to astronomy (as well as knowing where all the Ace Hardware stores are haha). Keep up the great work in sharing the beauty of this island. Looking forward to scheduling another tour with this company.

This tour delivers an incredible experience with a truly amazing tour guide. Dreu knows Big Island inside and out. We traveled the majority of the island, from the town of Kona, a coffee farm, a local bakery, a Black Sands beach, mountains, volcanoes, forests, a lava tube, a BBQ dinner, the town of Hilo, and mountaintop stargazing... all in one spectacular day! It lasted 12 hours but it felt like it just flew by; Dreu keeps it equally fascinating and entertaining. His passion, knowledge, and respect for Big Island and Hawaiian culture clearly shine through as he takes the tour group to all of these beautiful places and tells us about all the "tings to considah!" 🙂 It's a day, and an experience, you will never forget.

This was the best tour we have taken! Dreu was an AMAZING guide! He was very knowledgeable and made the excursion more fun (especially for my 11 year old) He got him engaged in learning about green sand, black sand and various plants around the island. We were fortunate and had awesome weather, so we were able to see a lot. I would definitely do this tour again! If you say "it would be just the same tour" you're wrong because what's Here today is gone tomorrow.
