    we had the tour to ourselves yesterday. only 3 of us! our guide was very kind, knowledgeable and funny. he created an unforgettable experience. unfortunately, we had to end our tour early as one of our groupies had mild heat exhaustion. our guide went above and beyond to ensure she was ok. he also agreed to end the tour early as well as driving us all back to our hotel. he extended the aloha spirit that we all see and experience from the people in the islands of hawa’i.
