This was our second trip to the Big Island and the first time we visited we were completely lost because the island is exactly that... Big! So this time we contacted Wild Orchid Tours for a 12 hour marathon of a day tour of the island. Our guide, Lee, was so personable that we felt like he and his wife... More

A family of four took the volcano tour but got a lot more than just that. Very informative guide and very laid back atmosphere really made the trip even on a rainy day fun. He took us to Rainbow falls and other local attractions on top of the volcano. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a personalized tour... More

Family of 5 took the volcano tour. Saw great sites and learned a lot from a very experienced tour guide. He took time to also show us other things in and around Hilo, including a beautiful black sand beach complete with sea turtles. Perfect way to spend a day without stress of driving and worrying about "seeing everything". Came off... More

This tour exceed all expectations. Lee conducted the tour based on what we were looking for. This was done in two steps, first by phone to frame our expectation, next at the time of pick up, Lee asked more detail and proposed options. No matter what your interest is Wild Orchid Tours (Lee) can handle it on the Big Island.... More

My mother, daughter and I visited in October 2011 and booked the 6 hour private guided tour of the Volcanoe's National Park and surrounding areas. We were picked up by Lee, our tour guide at our hotel in Hilo. He had a spacious, comfortable SUV, so we had plenty of space. He showed us some of the local points of... More

I am a well versed traveller and do my reseachy before going away on holidays and in our opinion, this was by far the best guided tour we have ever been on. Lee (owner of Wild Orchid tours) came highly recommended to me by a co-worker who was on the island several weeks before our visit. She raved about the... More

Searching on Trip Advisor, I read about the Wild Orchid Tour and I was very impressed with the comments. My family decided to hire the services of Mr. Lee. He is really excellent, worth every penny invested in the ride! It was the second time my husband and me in Big Island. We thought we knew well the island, but... More

We had a terrific time with Lee on Hilo! He picked us up right at the port early in the morning and we started discussing what we wanted to do. We had some suggestions and together we came up with a fun filled day. Lee loves his island home and it shows through his stories. He made sure and tailored... More

This was our first trip to Hawaii and Hilo. We wanted a way to experience the island in one day as we were on a Hawaiian island cruise, and we did not go wrong with this tour! Great experience. Lee was very knowledgeable, and lots of fun. This is a great way to learn about the island and appreciate the... More
