The tour was amazing! It was very well organized, and we had enough time to enjoy every place and activity! Aaron was wonderful, he had such a wide expanse of knowledge and “funny” dad jokes, perfect for when we were on the road(which I didn’t mind). 10/10, would recommend to any and all!

The host Dreu was very knowledgeable on Hawaiian history, culture, and nature. Great time visiting Kona coffee farm, watch honu (sea turtles) at the black sand beach, various craters in Kilauea. Despite of the rainy cold weather, we were able to see many stars Mauna Kea area at the end of the day. Other than his abundant knowledge, Dreu did some magic to constantly entertain us throughout the day and never gave time to get bored. Highly recommend Dreu for your tour guide!

The tour was a whirlwind and over 12 hours, but we definitely got our money's worth. Dreu was quirky, but very entertaining, knowledgeable, and loved what he does. I highly recommend this tour if you're looking to get all you can out of one day. If you're lucky to get Dreu, the more the merrier!

By the description of this tour, you already know that Wasabi Tours packs in some incredible sights and experiences for an amazing day on the big island of Hawai’i. What you don’t know is that if you ask for Dreu (and you can request him ahead of time), he’s going to take that amazing experience to the next level. He made an effort to get to know everyone personally and include them in the conversation. He was extremely punctual in order to optimize every minute of the day. He was entertaining and paid exquisite attention to detail…sometimes in ways that were not even apparent until the end of the day. He is very knowledgeable about volcanoes and astronomy, but also about Hawaiian culture, history, and local customs. We knew that it was highly likely to experience rain on the east side of the island. Rain jackets, umbrellas, and warm coats are provided, but bring a change of clothes in case you get wet. We highly recommend this tour! Thanks Dreu!

Unfortunately, I am not sure how this tour has so many positive reviews. This is the first time I have ever reviewed anything online but this experience made me feel the need to help others avoid this waste of a (longggggg) day. It is easily a 13 hour day and could be cut done with a little efficiency. Aaron was a very nice and pleasant guide but unfortunately his voice was very monotonous and put myself and others to sleep during this tour. I personally fell asleep 3 separate times. Besides that, the tour was overly long for no great reason. We spent more time at the coffee farm and black sand beach then the volcano and star gazing stops. That was very disappointing since we were mainly looking forward to those parts. The coffee farm was a snooze and could be shortened to 15 minutes for that and then 30 to eat lunch. The black sand beach was fine. The volcano national park was ok but as I said we didn’t stay long enough. I spoke to friends who did the volcano park solo, and they said they saw and did so much more. The stop at the volcano hotel was quite useless and everyone in our group just sat in chairs wishing to be back at their hotel. The star gazing was beautiful but the guide talked the entire time and we had no opportunity to just stare and soak it all in. Every time we tried walking to the other side of the van, to look at the stars and take pictures without his laser pointer in them, he asked us to come closer so he didn’t have to speak louder. Sometimes less talking is more! Overall, I can’t get that day back and feel I wasted an entire day on this beautiful island. Again, the tour had good intentions but terrible execution!

Dreu was an absolutely incredible tour guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was knowledgeable, passionate about Hawaiian. Culture and history, and absolutely painstakingly sure to honor Hawaiian heritage as we visited the volcanoes and stars. During our tour we encountered several tour guides from other operators, and their lack of respect (And knowledge) of the culture was evident. Dreu and Wasabi Tours absolutely deserve all the success and great ratings that comes their way!

I would highly recommend this tour. We saw a good variety of places, spent a few hours in Hawaii Volcano National Park. Included lunch and dinner were good. Todd (our guide extraordinaire) was great, with many stories and facts imparted to us throughout the day. Finished with some amazing star-gazing just below the peak of Muana Loa through a huge (yet portable) telescope. Raincoats and umbrellas were provided when it was wet and warm jackets were provided for stargazing (when it was quite chilly)

Aaron, our tour guide was so knowledgeable of the island. My family enjoyed the whole day. I would recommend doing this when you’re on the Big Island.

The sights we were taken too were amazing! Our tour guide scott was awesome and knowledgable. The only difficult part is spending 12 hours with the same people, its a long day to be stuck with strangers

Aaron was our tour guide. He was super respectful, friendly, and went above and beyond. Great way to see a little bit of everything and not have to drive around the whole island. Thank you for the great memories!

An absolutely wonderful tour! This was the highlight of our time on the Big Island. We got to experience a Kona Coffee Farm and learn about the process! We enjoyed multiple stops within the Volcano National Park which was stunning. Our guide had such a wide range of knowledge, we were truly impressed. Then to top it all off the stargazing portion of the tour vastly exceeded my expectations! My boyfriend chose this tour because he was excited about seeing the stars, but I did not expect all of the information that would be included in that portion. Our guide let us all use his telescope to get up-close views of the moon and of Jupiter! (Perhaps this varies based on time of year?) And he shared information about the different constellations that were visible to the naked eye. Absolutely wonderful!

This tour was one of the most memorable tours my wife and I have ever taken. Aside from being extremely knowledgeable in everything Hawaii, our tour guide Derek Stuart was very engaging and kept all of the tour participants entertained and informed throughout the entire tour. My wife and I would highly recommend the Twilight Volcano and Stargazing tour to anyone, and we would specifically recommend Derek as your tour guide.

Wow what an experience! Our guide, Todd, had such extensive knowledge of the volcanic earth and celestial bodies - so gorgeous and mind blowing! From scorched lava fields to rain forest lava tube to finding a perfectly clear sky on an otherwise rainy night! We were so fortunate to see a nearly full moon in all its detail thanks to Todd and his Newtonian reflector telescope. A completely unique experience.

Derek Stuart was our guide for the day. He was an excellent example of what people expect when taking a 12 hour tour. He was very knowledgeable and provided almost nonstop insight about The various things we were seeing and doing. He knows so much about volcanoes and the Lava that comes from them. The Stargazing was breathtaking. I have never seen so many stars in the in the sky. He did a great job of pointing out everyone’s favorite stars and constellations as well as helping people identify constellations with their cell phones. He was considerate of everyone’s needs and helped them get the things they needed. He is a valuable asset for his employer. I Hope they realize what they have. Thank you Derek. Mark Pettegrew

Derek was our tour guide and he was phenomenal!! He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything that we visited today. He was a great driver and he had great people skills and a desire to tell us everything that he could about the volcanoes , the stargazing, and about the island of Hawaii. I would highly recommend him. He had an immense amount of knowledge that he shared with us to make our day an incredible experience. What a great way to end our short stay in Kona!! Lunch was great!! Dinner also great!! What a beautiful day.
