Big Island Shore Excursions & Private Tours

This tour is the complete experience . Our driver,Rae was the best from beginning to end. Everything we wanted to do and more was covered. Rae is exceptional. Very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Well worth the price. If we come back we will look for him again

Rae is a kind, polite man. He put together a last minute tour for us which was outstanding! He offered us drinks snacks, games and prizes. He is very knowledgeable of the history of the island and would definitely recommend him for a tour.

What a wonderful and educational experience with Rae! He took us to all fantastic places and experiences!

We had a great tour with Rae on Kona today.

Had a great day. Rae was the best guide taking us to beautiful waterfalls, the valcano, Hilo Market and many more things along the way. He shared so many wonderful things about the Island. 100% recommend.

Amazing Scenery and Exceptional Service from Ray! Our tour with Hawaii Island Insider Tours was an incredible experience, and a huge part of that was our guide, Ray. He was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day. The tour took us to some absolutely spectacular places, including Rainbow Falls, Akaka Falls, and the volcanoes. The scenery throughout the day was breathtaking — lush tropical landscapes, dramatic waterfalls, and the incredible volcanic terrain that makes the Big Island so unique. Every stop seemed to offer another picture-perfect view. Unfortunately, I needed to leave the group earlier than planned. Ray couldn’t have been more accommodating. He personally made sure I got back to the port safely while my wife stayed with the group and continued the tour. I truly appreciated his kindness and willingness to go the extra mile. My wife had an amazing time during the remainder of the tour and sent me some fantastic pictures of the volcanoes and the lava tube. Seeing those photos made it very clear that she got to experience some truly spectacular sights — and that I definitely missed out! Ray deserves special recognition for his outstanding customer service. He handled my unexpected change of plans without hesitation and made sure everything worked out perfectly. That kind of personal attention is what makes a tour memorable. If you’re visiting the Big Island and want to see some of its most incredible natural wonders, I highly recommend Hawaii Island Insider Tours — and if you can, ask for Ray. You’ll be in great hands!

Ray was an exceptional tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour and learned a lot about Hilo and area through Ray’s knowledge. Thank you Ray..

This was an amazing experience from start to finish. Rae insured comfortability & and maximizing our time was his top priority in navigating us throughout the island. I 100 percent recommend him to anyone if you want laughs, education on the island history, and just an overall happy moment with great memories for loved ones.
