There were 8 of us on a family trip to hawaii and we had the most amazing day with Morgan as our driver/tour guide. He was so fun, knowledgeable about the island, and the best photographer. We saw so many amazing sights and he was fully prepared with all of the things we needed for our beach time. The van was so comfy and the day flew by (in the best way) ! Highlight of our trip in Hawaii. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to see all the cool things Hilo has to offer.

Went to Volcano National Park and it just happened the volcano was erupting! Our wonderful guide, Morgan worked it out so we could get fantastic locations to have a once in a lifetime experience! A day we will never forget!
Morgan was AWESOME! He was a wealth of knowledge. We told him what we would like to do and he made it happen, providing recommendations along the way! Very communicative prior as well. Super easy to book and had no worries about making back to ship on time. Cannot recommend enough. Best part was it was just us, not a bunch of people we didn’t know (beware those vendors are at the port ready to herd you like cattle!) so glad we booked and saw Hilo this way, thank you Morgan!
Derek is very professional and his van is exceptionally comfortable and stocked with so many extras that might be needed for your tour day. When I booked I was a little concerned about the relatively small number of reviews, but now I know--- it was difficult to find the place to actually write a review. I was sent a link specifically to review this tour, but then when I clicked on it the link only gave me options to review other tours for some reason. I am glad I went ahead with this tour.
We visited Volcano National Park, Rainbow Falls, a black sand beach, Five Mile Drive, and Farmer’s Market and enjoyed his commentary along the way. His vehicle is very comfortable with easy entry/exit. You won’t regret booking with him!!!
We had a great time with Derrick. He was very accommodating with our schedule and flexible. The van was super comfy. At the end of the day our kids were tired and we put on a movie for them to watch in the van and we could relax. He offered water as well. He took us to an awesome market where we got fresh fruits coconut water banana bread and Spanish bread. We also got summer rolls with amazing peanut sauce! We went to the kilawea erupting volcano and saw lava spewing out of the crater. We went to rainbow water falls and several scenic spots. Highly recommend!
We spent a wonderful day with Derrick. His van is super comfortable, and he is a delightful guide. We were lucky he took us to the best viewing place to see Kilauea erupting! We loved his passion for the Big Island and his knowledge about the best places to see. Would definitely recommend taking his tour!
Derrick’s tour around Hilo was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and was able to take us all around Hilo and taught us about the history and culture. We highly recommend Derrick for tours around Hilo, he even gave us recommendations for Kona and we even ran into him again the next day. We were on the Pride of America, he picked us up at the port and made it very easy. We were traveling with a toddler and Derrick made sure to have a car seat safely installed for him prior to the tour.
Chose a small private tour of Hilo on our cruise stop. Not disappointed. Derrick was very personable. Nice comfortable van. Derrick was knowledgeable and always wanting to learn more about his island. The tour was very flexible and he allowed us to see what we wanted to see with adequate time each stop. We recommend Derrick for those small personal groups.
Derrick was wonderful! He was great with communication in regards to how the day was going to go and what we were going to see. We were a family of 7 and were very comfortable in the van. He even had waters for us. He was very knowledgeable and was very patient with all our questions we had about the island. I highly recommend booking with Derrick. We had the best time!
One word FANTASTIC! Went with 2 other couples (friends) and had a great two days with Derick. Didn't know where to go and what to expect on our first Hawaiian vacation, so we left it up to Derick to show us both sides of the big Island. He took us to so many beautiful spots that were not the common tourist traps. Had the best fish tacos from a little place he knows. If you want a great day or two when visiting you'll love seeing it with Derick. He's a one man operation, Owner and Tour guide
Derek was AMAZING !! He was super informational, drove safely and was such a good time ! Next time on back on the island i would book with him again ! We booked him for Hilo and Kona and I would recommend him to EVERYONE !
Our pick up at the cruise dock was easy and quick, and we had an amazing day with Derek, as he took us to the volcano, macadamia nut farm, lava tube, waterfall and more. We had a group of eight people, and the van was spacious and comfortable.
Derick Price with Ohana Private Car was amazing! We had a tight 1-day timeline in each of Hilo and Kona (traveling on the Pride of America). Derick was able to tailor a trip to exactly what we wanted, and as plans changed on our whim, he continually checked in to make sure the trip kept updating to be exactly what we wanted. With his thorough knowledge on the Big Island, he was able to advise us how to best meet our desires for the trip. His van was spectacularly comfortable. We highly recommend his tours.
Fantastic tour given by someone who lives on the island! Derick did a fantastic job of seeing the things important to my family and adjusting the itinerary based on the weather. Would highly recommend
Ahola! My parents and I traveled to Hawaii for 2 weeks in September 2023. We cruised with Norwegian Cruise Line POA and had a stop in Hilo and then the day after in Kona. After looking at the excursions that NCL offers and looking at what we wanted to do, we deceided that a private tour would be bests for us. Ohana PC is such a professional company. We got picked up at the port and was taken around to the places we wanted to see. I provided Derick (the owner) a list of the places we wanted to see and he made it happen. He also gave us suggestions and we loved them. This company is very flexible so Derick is comfortable with changing the spots last minute. He was very knowledgeable of the Island and a great driver. His van is very comfortable for the drives to each stop. I wish we had more time in each port to see more. We will definitely be going back and will hire Derick to take us to the other parts of the islands. He is quick to respond to emails and always returns my calls!
