About operator:
Kailani Tours Hawaii was created out of necessity: the need to provide exceptionally well-run tours with the best guides in the most comfortable vehicles, and with the best customer service around.
Two experienced Mauna Kea summit tour guides realized that the future of tourism on the Big Island was not with large buses or one-size-fits-all group tours, but with smaller and more personal touring that provided an authentic and individual experience.
By utilizing Mercedes-Benz passenger vans, Kailani Tours guides provide the utmost personal care and surpass the competition with an incredible customer experience. With these principles, Kailani Tours has slowly grown from a concept to a company that is raising the standards for all tour companies on the Big Island.
