The sites were incredibly beautiful but I wish we had more time to explore them. I also felt the shopping experiences (Mauna Loa macadamia nut farm, Orchid Farm (more like 'store') and Big Island Candy) were unnecessary and too long. Maybe only 1 stop at Mauna Loa instead of 2 with extra time to explore to volcano, waterfall and lava tube.

The bus driver (I wish I could remember his name!) was incredible and friendly. He told us legends passed down from his grandmother as we drove and even told us about the local flora of Hawaii.

Very nice tour. The driver was very informative and stopped at a lot of very interesting places. Rainbow falls was nice, but being next to the road, there was a lot of people there from other tour groups and private vehicles.

Overall a nice tour. The falls were not as large as I expected and we only had 15 minutes there with the bathroom break. The national park was beautiful. Also stopped by the Moana Lau candy store and an orchid orchard. Our bus did break down mid trip but a replacement was sent quickly. James, our tour guide had a great personality and was very informative about the area.
