Kailani Tours Hawaii

We had the absolute best experience with Kailani Tours, and our guide Kawika made the day unforgettable. He was so knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Hawaiian history and culture. A couple of years ago, we did a tour with another company on the Big Island and loved it, but we learned so much more this time because of Kawika. Even during the longer stretches of driving, his stories and insights kept us completely absorbed, the time just flew by. Honestly, I would have paid just to learn from him, even without visiting all of the incredible stops along the way! Kawika also made everyone feel like part of the family. The tour itself was excellent, but his guidance elevated it into something truly special. If you’re lucky enough to get Kawika as your guide, you’re in for an amazing tour.

My 2 daughters and I had an amazing time on the Big Island Volcano Day Tour! While I had visited the other islands, this was the first time for us to visit the island of Hawaii. Grant, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable about volcanos and the history of the island and its people. This made the tour so interesting and that much more enjoyable. This full-day tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. Thank you, Grant!!

We had the best time. Grant was super knowledgeable about the island. He made us laugh and taught us a lot as well. He took wonderful care of my daughter when she fell (tree root) and made her a Jr tour guide to help cheer her up. We highly recommend this tour especially if Grant is the tour guide.

Great tour with Grant! He knew everything about Hawaii and answered all of our questions! It was a fun and good paced tour hitting on everything you need to do on the islands as well as a few fun pit stops/shops and tasty treats. Lunch was amazing and had a great view! We liked the volcano video and photos shared as well. Would definitely recommend! Grant had great advice for our other days on the island as well!

What an incredible day we spent with Thia on our private volcano tour. She exceeded our expectations as she was able to personalize our tour to meet our needs. Thia is an outgoing, friendly person and we enjoyed her wealth of knowledge. Mahalo for a day we will always remember!

I can only speak to our tour and the guide (Kawika or David in English) who made our experience truly amazing. As a local boy, from the Island of Hawaii, Kawika went above and beyond with his amazing stories, local 'secrets', and is extremely knowledgeable. So worth the time and I hope everyone can get a tour guide as good as Kawika.

Great tour with an amazingly knowledgeable tour guide Kaweka who was born and raised in Hawaii. He bestowed great knowledgeable on us as well as care for all our needs all day. Went above and beyond to take us back to the volcano when it was spewing lava. Great tour and great tour guide! Ask for Kaweka!

I booked this tour last minute after my original tour cancelled due not enough customers. I was not disappointed! Thia, the tour guide, has the perfect personality for this job. She shared so much historical and cultural information about the island. She also has the perfect voice for this and was easy to listen to. She should record a self guided audio tour!! I highly recommend this tour. Thia also provided additional suggestions of things to do that I used for the remainder of my trip (food truck serving Salvadorian food at Miranda coffee, Paradise Meadows, Kaya coffee were just a few of her amazing recommendations).
