Amazing tour! Clare was able to show us the entire island in 7 days, bring us to the prettiest places and tell us all about the history, the culture and landscapes of Hawai'i. She also made me feel really comfortable in the water, which is something I have been struggling with. Seeing her so calm, and her reassuring gestures to check on me under water have helped me to enjoy my snorkeling adventures and make the most out of this trip!monkeymouse

Can’t believe all we saw in one day! And how much we learned! We took an incredible one-full-day private tour for our party of 5 (4 adults and one child, our nine-year-old daughter) with the amazing Claire. She picked us up early in the morning at our hotel on the western coast (Fairmont Orchid)...
Can’t believe all we saw in one day! And how much we learned! We took an incredible one-full-day private tour for our party of 5 (4 adults and one child, our nine-year-old daughter) with the amazing Claire. She picked us up early in the morning at our hotel on the western coast (Fairmont Orchid) and thus began an incredible day of fun, adventure, tons of laughs, and learning about the amazing Hawaiian islands, their geological history, their political history, the Hawaiian culture, and much more. We hiked into a lava tube, sang in the pitch black, stopped at an incredible black and green sand beach, practically tripped over green sea turtles, climbed on huge volcanic rocks, saw fish ponds, some of us swam and snorkeled, had a wonderful lunch and cold brew Kona coffee in the enchanting old town of Hilo (this under-appreciated town turned out to be our favorite town of all), took a quick ukelele lesson (that inspired me to buy my own which would soon come in handy!) with the charming and excellent Uncle Euk. Claire allowed us plenty of flexibility to spend our time as we liked. For example she took us by a wonderful farmer's market in Hilo where we were able to sample and purchase some of the most delicious fresh fruit we found on our entire trip, including a soursop! Then began the actual volcanic part of the voyage. We hiked around three incredible calderas, with steam vents all around, and saw intricate aspects of the volcano such as lava trees. It was truly like being on another planet, like some scene out of the original Star Trek series. As if by magic, near the very end of the day, in the waning sunlight, there appeared a perfect full-arch rainbow. Obviously Claire cannot guarantee rainbows and perfect timing, but it was a part of the magical energy of our day, laughing, learning, and being amazed by the beauty and majesty all around us. We were having such a fantastic time we neglected to stop for dinner and decided to just grab a late bite afterwards at our hotel. En route there we stopped for gas and snacks at 7-11. And somewhere in there we even stopped at the coolest playground ostensibly for the sake of our daughter but all 6 of us had a blast. The booking process with Hawaiian Outdoor Guides was super easy, and they spent a good amount of time on the phone and by email communicating to make sure the experience would be to our liking. Claire in particular is an incredibly hard-working, dedicated, and talented guide who brings her commitment, knowledge, experience, intelligence, communication skills, and great sense of humor to the job, making her able to work well with a variety of people of different interests, ages, levels of adventure. And she is a great driver! Highly recommended and a good value compared to other available agencies which did not demonstrate nearly the same level of customer service or flexibility.cwN1096FG

It was a great tour! He was a great Tourguide, knows beautiful locations and is always a help. We could decide wich food we want to have, and we had a great time! He was very efficient, so we had plenty time for hikes, for the beach and other things. I would recommend it and do it again.

I went to the Big Island for a week by myself and it was the best experience ever! All the other people in my group were great and our tour guide Clare made the week very special for us. There was a good vibe from the beginning, thanks to her!! We saw so many beautiful places and Clare knew everything about it. She taught us all the history behind the spots we visit, her knowledge is insane! She answered us every single question, made sure we all liked it and that everyone is happy. It was also very flexible, we were able to decide together what places we would rather go to which was great. We hiked through rain forest to one of the crater of the volcano Kilauea, went to waterfalls, saw different beaches (white, black, green beaches),turtles, snorkeled and so many more things!! Clare is so organized and she thinks even about the little things what I appreciated the most and makes the week very easy. You can tell that she does her job with passion and loves, showing people the best of the Big Island. Thank you so much Clare, I will never forget this incredible week!!!
