Dexter was an amazing tour guide and very accommodating. He was very knowledgeable about all the sights. He also was kind enough to take our photos as needed.

Dexter was a good tour guide. He knew a lot about the island. However, the tour schedule could have been better. He just followed his schedule. The tour took us to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We did stop at some popular spots there like lava rock, lava tube, overlook, etc. I think these are amazing. After the volcano trip, we drove 1.5 hour back to Hilo to see Akaka Falls, Hilo towns, black sand beach, Liliuokalani Gardens, Rainbow Falls and Kamehameha Statue. These places are so close to each other that's why we were able to see so many things. However, there are nothing special about them. I mean it's just a statue , a normal park and waterfalls. If you google those places I mentioned and look at photos, there are really nothing special personally. I wish I have a chance to see something better or more unique Overall, I think some people may like this tour but not for me. Some of these tourist attractions are so mundane. Also, on Viator, the tour said the start time is 8:15AM but in reality, it's 7:45! Tour company needs to update this information
