Also, they have hard hats for you which, even if you try really hard, you will need! Monica took us into the tubes and was an excellent guide, she showed us all the different kinds of lavas and was so patient when we wanted pictures and even snapped a few of us herself! This was such a cool experience, so happy we got to do this!

I can't recommend Aloha 'Āina Tours Hawaii enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was…read moreheartfelt, educational, and full of aloha spirit. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about Hawaiian culture, history, and the land. This isn't your average tourist tour it's a deep, personal journey through the beauty and meaning of Hawaii We got to see breathtaking landscapes, learn about native plants and traditions, and experience Hawaii in a respectful and meaningful way. It felt like we were exploring the island with family, not just tour guides. If you're looking for a more authentic, cultural, and sustainable way to experience Hawaii this is the tour to book. Mahalo nui loa to the whole team. I'll be recommending you to everyone I know!

I know that Robert's of Hawaii Tours have a reputation as a tourist cattle car but I happen to…read morethink they do a very good job at an affordable price. Like many of the other Yelps here, I also took the "Circle Island Tour" around the big island of Hawaii. It was a long day but what a wonderful way to see the island. I was fortunate enough to have James (aka Miles) as my driver & guide. He was fabulous and shared all his knowledge about the islands with the 18 people on the bus. All the stops we made along the way never felt rushed or rote. Although my personal preference is to take the tour in smaller buses and not the large coaches Robert's utilizes, I still learned so much and soaked in unbelievable beauty along the way. Stopping at the University of Hawaii at Hilo's Imiloa Astronomy Center was fascinating and, of course the Volcano overlook was fabulous. I managed to get some shopping done for the family back home at the Macadamia Nut Farm & Kona Coffee Company. It is one thing to come to Hawaii and lay by the pool or on the beach soaking up the island sun, which is fine by me. But I also want to learn and take in the magnificent scenery. If I did not take the Robert's Tour, I would have probably skipped on seeing Hilo, and it is a wonderful wet world over there. You will not regret spending the day on the Robert's Circle Island Tour. 5 YELP STARS for tour guide James (aka Miles) !

The driver from the Cultural center was very friendly and knowledgeable he used to dance for this very place, he was very kind and we enjoyed our day with him very much. So upset that I can't remember his name. The Dole trip was very informative as well. Koko was our driver. We liked him very much too. The man who picked us up from the hotel the morning of the 13th or 14th was nice and we enjoyed the Hawaiian music on the way to the Oahu airport. We were heading to Hilo. All in all a wonderful bunch of guys. A great company. Clean buses in good condition w good AC. Highly recommend Roberts !!! Call them ! Aloha

Don't do it. You can't do the tour and for some reason their website is still accepting payments…read moreeven though the tours aren't happening. In April of 2022, I sent friends who were on their honeymoon on the Big Island here because my husband and I did the tour in Feb of 2021 and I really liked it. Well, the tours are closed and the website does not specify that at all so the payment was taken via website and my friends showed up only to be told that the tours are All cancelled. They did mail her a refund several weeks later. If I notice that their website indicates there are no tours and stops accepting payments, I'll take this review down because I really like the people who ran this business, so I'm not sure why they have to leave their website up but this is just a warning to anyone looking for more info.
