Review of Hilo’s six-hour volcano safari, with lava caves, black-sand beaches, lava fields, waterfalls, local guides, and cruise-port pickup.

“Ellen Grace was a delightful tour guide, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and went out of her way to share her love of the Big island with us, going the extra mile (literally) to take us to one additional lava field that wasn't even on the intinerary. We also enjoyed traveling in a van with a smaller group rather than in a large bus.”

5.Private Krka Waterfalls with Wine and Prosciutto Shore Excursion

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 98 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $290

Review of a private Krka Waterfalls tour from Split with four hours in the park, Croatian wine, prosciutto, cheese, and practical tips.

“Our group had a nice time, but I do not believe you need a guide to visit Krka National Park, which is beautiful. Most tours like this one require you to buy your own ticket into the park and you do the hike on your own so the guide’s primary role is transportation. Note that swimming in the water by the falls is prohibited although a couple of photos posted on the site infer otherwise.”

Review of Damajagua waterfalls and three zip lines from Amber Cove or Taino Bay, with lunch, transport, safety tips, costs, and honest advice.

“Lovely tour guides. Our trip was cancelled due to rain and we were only able to do the zip lines. Sad we missed the falls, but maybe next time. I’m giving our guides 5 stars because they were terrific, the zip lines were just ok. I’m sure the falls would have been amazing.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 10 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $199

Review of Hilo’s six-hour volcano, waterfall, black-sand beach, and garden tour, with practical advice on timing, value, guides, and cruise stops.

“This was a very good tour that covered all the bases of Hilo, Hawaii. Steve, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun. Unfortunately, we expected a tour of the volcanoes and areas related thereto. The tour doesn't actually get to the volcano area until dark so we did not get to see any of the surrounding areas during daylight. I will re-read the tour description. Maybe we did not understand the tour activities.”
