    Volcano Story
    Amy_U
    , May 2022
    The oral history of sites was eloquently describe by our tour guide, Leo. She told wonderful stories of the history of the island including the mythology of Pele respected by islanders. The goddess Pele seems real in the islander lives. It was great for my child see how incredibly land developed by nature coupled with respect for the land in association with the rich Hawaiian culture.

    Volcanoes from Hilo
    Roland_K
    , Dec 2021
    Mount Kilauea was amazing and the lava tubes were incredible. I’m glad we had a guide, Leia, who took us straight to the best spots. Leia also took us to a local coffee mill, by the local farmers’ market and dropped us back in Hilo. Unfortunately, the orchid farm was closed (covid), as was the macadamia nut farm, which sounds like it may be a permanent closure. Had those been open, it would have been 5 stars

    Aloha folks, I apologize for the delayed response. I’m so glad you folks decided to choose Malahini Tours and I could show you a decent time. I am happy to say, that the Macadamia factory is going to be reopening soon. Renovations have held them up for quite a while. I hope to hear from you folks or even see you folks return to Hawaii. Again, Mahalo nui loa fo choosing Malahini Tours.

    Kimo is the best tour guide EVER
    DawnA_P
    , Feb 2020
    KIMO ROCKS! Best tour guide EVER. Lovely person and so fully of island history and tours that even locals were asking him questions! Kimo went above and beyond to the point of allowing us to add onto our excursion. He knew so much about volcanos and kings ... oh goodness I could go on forever about this gem of a tour guide. He also made sure we stayed hydrated. Seriously- he made our vacation. I’m not lying. I’ll never forget him. Thank you our friend Kimo 🥰

    A Wonderful Mountain View Town Visit
    Dan_D
    , Feb 2020
    Our drive around visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park with Malahini Tours exceeded all expectations. Driver Dan was wonderful, full of local insights, Hawaiian language tutorials, and legends. Well worth the price!! The tour included Hilo Coffee Mill where we learned about growing and roasting great Java and Mauna Loa Macadamia Corp where we sampled several flavored varieties of the nuts and learned how they are processed with minimal waste. We also stopped at Akatsuka Orchid Garden where they've developed thousands of new orchid varieties. While there, our driver Dan provided fresh-cut pineapple and lychee for lunch.

    Great Tour Guide

    Kimo, our driver/guide was great. Very knowledgeable and personable. He took us to many interesting sites, particularly the Volcano site. I believe we had a fairly unique tour of the latest fault area. Kimo's running dialogue throughout the day made this tour one of the most enjoyable that we have experienced.
