Sam our tour guide was amazing.! He knew so much about the land and Hawaiian culture. He was friendly and funny and even took his time with each family in the group and offered to take funny pictures that I, personally, will cherish forever. All 5 in our group had a great time and look forward to coming back to the ranch.

Beautiful ranch, great tour guide, learned lots about the history, folklore, agriculture, and recommendations for food and how to make the most of our trip. We made plenty of stops, and got lots of pictures and didn't feel hurried at all. I did get some mosquito bites but I guess that's just part of the experiences. We had three generations of our family on the trip, from grandparents to little kids, and they enjoyed it a lot. Highly recommend.

Ian was an absolutely hilarious and incredible tour guide. Very knowledgable and his food and beach recommendations themselves were worth the cost of admission. Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience Ian - we love your laugh!!!

We had an amazing time on this jungle tour in Hawaii! The open-air bus provided incredible views throughout the entire excursion, allowing us to truly take in the beauty of the island. The tour was packed with fascinating history and local knowledge, making it both entertaining and educational. What really made the experience stand out was our tour guide. They were extremely informative, engaging, and had a great sense of humor that kept the group entertained from start to finish. You could tell they were passionate about sharing Hawaii's history and culture. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and memorable way to explore the island!
