What an incredible way to spend a day on the big island! Shawn is extremely knowledgeable about this beautiful island! Our family had an incredible times visiting some of the islands best spots! Shawn took us to spots in the national park we would’ve never thought to look and taught us so much about the science and history of the volcanos. Great snacks, a great guide, and a great day! Thank you 🙏🏻

Aloha Hannah! Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience with us! The National Park can be quite intimidating to do on your own, there is so much to do and see there, that having a knowledgable guide really makes a big difference. I spend of my time off just exploring the Park so I can share all the wonderful locations with my guests. Thanks again! Mahalo, Shawn

This was absolutely the best excursion we (myself, my husband and our adult daughter) did during our two week stay in Hawaii!! The highlight of our trip was spending the day with Shawn on the Water and Fire Tour. He is very passionate about all things Hawaii and his passion really shines through in the knowledge that he shares with you during your day. We really appreciated that he picked us up at our rental house, did all the driving and took pictures of us and everything we were seeing so we didn't have to worry about using our phones to take photos, and kept us fed and hydrated the whole day. He talked to us about the history of Hawaii, the legends and folklore, pointed out all the species of flowers, plants and trees, picked us fresh fruit, and pointed out all the different animals we saw through out the day. Sure you could see water falls and volcanos on your own but having someone talking to you about everything you are seeing and answering all your questions was priceless. I thought it would be awkward to spend so much time with a stranger but we said good bye to a new friend.

Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience with us! I am very happy to hear that you all had such a great day, I had a really good time with you all too! We could not ask for a much better day, the weather was stunning and you all were great to converse with and explore the island throughout the day. It really felt like we had known each other for much longer! We really love to share our passion for all things about the Big Island and love when our guests share that same excitement! Thank you all again so much for sharing! Mahalo, Shawn PS It was also awesome to see you all after our tour too!!!

Our family did the private, full day water and fire tour. My husband and I agreed this was the best tour we’ve ever done. Sean is great at what he does; he is so knowledgeable about the island, a true naturalist. There was no question he couldn’t answer. He has thought of everything: comfortable expedition with plenty of room, pick up at our resort, microphone headset so everyone can easily hear him speak in the car, amazing lunch and dinner provided at local restaurants, in depth and interesting commentary about the island, included photos he took for us throughout the tour, and plenty of drinks and snacks. I was worried that a full day tour would be too long, but Sean kept our interest throughout the day, talking to us and showing us amazing sites. My favorite moments were the short hikes through the jungle to the waterfalls and volcanoes, walk through a lava tube, and feeling the steam of the steam vents. We stopped at a local food stand for lunch that was a highlight of our trip. We would have never found this on our own. They had such fresh food; we loved trying their freshly picked Hawaiian fruit, including passion fruit, papaya, and fruit smoothies. I am certain you will not be disappointed with any of Sean’s tours.
