"Yesterday was awesome! We had an private tour of the island. Our guide , Josh, was amazing. Showed us things and places that we would have never found on our own. Told us stories, legends, & facts. He was funny, accommodating and very knowledgeable of the island! Great day!! Thanks, Josh!"

"Jill is a native of Hawaii and was incredibly knowledgeable! She answered every question we had. She showed us multiple stops in our short time, each one a treasure. We felt like we got more than our money's worth with Mauka Makai Adventures and recommend them to anyone wanting to learn about Hawaii and its rich culture. This was one of our favorite stops thanks to Jill and the wonderful places we stopped."

"Thank you Josh for a memorable tour of Hilo and the Volcano Nat'l Park. We had such a great time learning about Hawaiian culture and history, the plants and flowers. We went with my sister's family, 8 people plus Josh. We almost booked one of the big tour companies, but we're glad we didn't. I would recommend Mauka Makai to anyone who wants a personalized tour that you won't forget...The Big Island has so many treasures to see. Of the 3 tours we went on, the kids and I enjoyed this one the best."

"Josh was very knowledgeable about the facts and history of the island. He went at a good pace (not too fast, not too slow). He pointed out so many things along the way, I feel like we saw SO much during our tour! He was very personable with a great sense of humor! Our tour with him was one of the highlights of our vacation! I can not wait to go back and see the rest of the island with him guiding the way!"
