• 5Full Review of Our Day with Drew at Wasabi Tours

  Our last full day in Hawaii ( 9/19/2026), we wanted to tour the volcanoes, hoping Kīlauea would erupt while we were there. We chose Wasabi Tours, Big Island Hawaii: Volcano and Stargazing with Dinner. Our tour guide, Dreu, picked us up timely to begin our tour. We could not have asked for a better tour guide! The van had very comfortable seats and accommodated a small group nicely! Dreu is exceptionally knowledgeable and kept us entertained the entire tour! Dreu’s first stop was a local coffee farm where we learned about the harvesting of coffee beans. Then on to a macadamia/chocolate farm and lunch at the farm. The next stop was over to the black sand beach, where we saw 8 or 9 sea turtles! What a find! Then on to the National Volcano Park and the star of the show: Kilauea! There was a mini eruption 3 days earlier, so we were able to see the fissures as Kilauea geared up for a full-on eruption 5 days after our visit! What a sight! As our tour progressed, we walked through a rainforest, walked through a lava tunnel (cool!), and then had a delicious dinner at Lava Rock Cafe. After dinner, we drove back to the Kilauea summit and stood on the rim of the caldera to view Kilauea. What a sight! (Also, what a chilly, misty night—take a jacket!) On the drive back to the hotels, once the clouds cleared up, Dreu stopped for a lesson in stargazing. Out all day and back by 10:30 p.m… what a great day made all the more memorable by our illustrious tour guide: Dreu! So worth the price…book a tour with Wasabi Tours and be sure to ask for Dreu! It will be one of the most memorable highlights of your Hawaiian trip!

• 5An unforgettable full day across the Big Island

  This all-day tour was one of the highlights of my Big Island trip. Road closures in the south meant Wasabi had to reroute the tour, and they handled it smoothly. They sent the new itinerary ahead of time, and the day still felt complete. We saw Rainbow Falls and the black sand beach at Richardson Ocean Park, walked through a lava tube, and stood at the Kilauea Caldera in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Ending the night stargazing on Mauna Kea was incredible. Our guide was excellent: knowledgeable, organized, and great at keeping a long day fun and relaxed. If you only book one tour on the Big Island, make it this one.

• 4they dont stop at the sign/marker for pic, drop you off and pick up for stamp cancel

  The stops and timing were good. I would have rated them 5 except for these items. They did not stop at the marker/sign of the park for pictures. If you are going to get stamps cancelled for NPS passport and buy souvenirs at the visitors center forget about it, they drop us off and left. The driver did not tell us that we can buy souvenirs at the hotels where it is one of the stops. Another thing , they dont ask if you have a park pass, which I assume that the entrance fee was included in the total fee. You are not asked about entrance fee when booking. There were a few people that have senior passes (a total of 6 in this trip inc one for each for me and my wife). I guess for a tour, the vehicle is $30.00 which cover 14 passengers inc driver

• 5We booked the volcano...

  We booked the volcano tour with Wasabi Tours and came away feeling like we'd experienced the best of what the Big Island has to offer in a single day. Much of that credit goes to our guide, Felix. Felix's passion for his work was genuine and contagious. He didn't just point out the sights. He brought them to life with deep knowledge of the island's history, geology, and culture, along with thoughtful insight into current events affecting the island and its communities. His storytelling made every stop more meaningful, and it was clear he truly loves sharing his home with visitors. With a hurricane approaching, parts of the itinerary had to be adjusted. Wasabi Tours handled it with real professionalism and care. They kept us informed, made sound decisions with our safety in mind, and reworked the logistics so smoothly that we never felt we missed out. That kind of thoughtful planning under pressure says a lot about the company. We would highly recommend both Felix and Wasabi Tours to anyone visiting the Big Island. If you get the chance to tour with Felix, take it!

• 5Jadon was a Superb Tour Guide

  Jason was an excellent guide. He went above and beyond to share a lot about Hawaii history and culture, even beyond what we were seeing. He also knew a lot about the geology of the volcanos.

The Big Island is larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined and still being shaped by active volcanoes. Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has steaming craters, lava fields and the Chain of Craters Road down to the sea.
