The Circle Island Tour was the highlight of our Hawaii trip! Our guide Leon was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us places we never would have found on our own. The van was super comfortable too!

— Kristi, rated 5/5

Our tour with Ohana was the best day of our vacation! We saw incredible landscapes from lush rainforests to black sand beaches. The knowledge our guide shared about Hawaiian culture and history made the experience so much richer. Highly recommend for families!

— Tami, rated 5/5

We've done several tours on the Big Island, but Ohana Tours was by far the best! Smaller group size meant we could ask questions and really learn about the island. The Mercedes van was so comfortable for a full day of exploring.

— Brian, rated 5/5
