What People Said About the Tour
"I highly recommend spending a day with Mauka Makai. Josh and Jill are very knowledgeable, super accommodating and so down to earth that you want to take them home with you. We took a tour with them on our first day and learned so much about the history, the fauna and geology that it made our visit much more meaningful. We would definitely do again."
"Everything was right on time and we found Josh to be an informative and pleasant person. He was very careful to make sure that we saw everything we wanted to see but never rushed us. He kept the hike and conversation on a nice pace. Our lunch was prepared by locals and it was fresh and delicious. We really felt like we got to know Josh and the countryside. Having a local’s perspective was a plus. This day was a highlight of our trip. Thanks Josh!"
"There was tour that was leaving from the boat that had over 100 people on it. We had a small intimate group which was so lovely. Jill provided lots of information and told wonderful stories. We spent a large amount of our time there. On this tour we also went to an orchid farm for lunch, rainbow falls, a chocolate factory and a black sand beach with turtles."
"Josh was super knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the country, volcanoes, the agriculture and knew all the spots to hit. The Hawaiian stories of their gods was super interesting too! It was truly one of the best experiences we had in Hawaii. We wouldn't hesistate to recommend their business to anyone else! We managed to see so much in the one day with our limited time on the Big Island. Lunch was super tasty too!"
"Jill was a fantastic guide that grew up in Hilo and shared so much information about the island, culture, sites, nature, history. We had a private tour for me, my husband and 15 year old daughter . We saw waterfalls, rocky cliffs, green sea turtle, lava tube, where we wore head lamps, walked the old forest and volcano landscape. We had a picnic lunch at a waterfall and ended the day with a visit to the Big Island candy factory which is terrific. Really enjoyed this very special day and want to send a big thank you to Jill for making it so great!"
