- SHSophia· June 13th, 2025Traveling to Hawaii with GIVE was the best experience of my life. Going to a place like Hawaii and experiencing the culture in a way most people will never get to was such a blessing. The trip opened up my eyes and reminded me that the world is much bigger than my life I am so used to back home. A goal of mine is to force myself out of my comfort zone, and this trip definitely helped me do that. I was a bit nervous going into the trip, navigating an airport alone for the first time and spending so much time with strangers. But do not let those nerves hold you back at all!! Taking this step was the best decision I’ve ever made. I was able to meet the most incredible people that I now consider close friends. I learned so much about sustainability and how to steward the Earth, as well as so much about myself and my passions. This trip exceeded all my expectations and I could not recommend traveling with GIVE enough :)Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- ALAlyssa· June 13th, 2025I loved the itinerary! It had a great balance of volunteer work, then fun activities everyday. It was also very organized everyday and in the middle of the trip we had one day where we didn’t do any volunteer work and that was a good break in the 9 days there. All the people I met on trip (including the guides) were all so fun and kind. There is also so much taught about the culture, society, land, and history of Hawai’i. It helps change your perspective on traveling in a better way. You will love this trip if you are an outdoorsy person, like adventure, and like making new friends! That’s how I knew this trip was for me!Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- Grace· September 5th, 2024This trip was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip. The people I met during my short time in Hawai'i has stayed with me all these years. I was forever changed the minute I stepped foot on the big island and I am grateful for that.Show more
GIVE Volunteers commented on this reviewThis is beautiful to hear, Grace <3 Mahalo!Trip date: June 2022 - Zaina· July 26th, 2024GIVE gave me such an unforgettable experience that I will always cherish. I went on the Hawaii trip and I can’t explain how lucky I was to be able to experience the beautiful culture there as well as make life long friends. Not only did I learn how important it is to travel sustainably, but l also learned the importance of preserving Hawaiian culture. Getting to hear the amazing stories and experiences from the local natives brought so much more meaning to the projects we were working on. Getting to go through this journey with such amazing, like-minded people really made this trip so memorable. Honestly this was the best decision ever and I can’t wait to go on my next GIVE trip!Show moreTrip date: June 2024
- Carson· July 13th, 2024This trip was a great way to experience the Big Island of Hawai'i, it provided an authentic and genuine look at the island, something not easily found elsewhere. The organization of the trip was focused, but not inflexible, and changes were made if needed. There was a good balance of doing work and getting to just have fun. The Guide was great, and provided a knowledgeable insight into the local community.Show moreGIVE Volunteers commented on this reviewThanks for joining us on the Big Island!! Work hard, play hard is a motto we live by! We are grateful to have travelers like you. Mahalo :)Trip date: May 2024
- KKennedy· June 30th, 2024Volunteering with GIVE surpassed all my expectations, and each project instilled in me a sense of responsibility toward conservation efforts, sustainable practices, and preserving ancestral knowledge. My experience was incredibly transformative, a journey where every step left a positive mark and introduced me to some of the most special souls on earth🤍 Above all else, the people of Hawai’i have left an indelible mark on me. Their hospitality, resilience, and commitment to their heritage amidst modern challenges is truly inspiring. When you book that trip, be mindful!! Support locals, think about the amount of waste you’re producing, and find ways to give back/honor the awe-inspiring landscapes you’re spending time in. Mahalo Hawai’i & my new GIVE family for these memories I will cherish for a lifetime! 🫶🏼🌺Show moreGIVE Volunteers commented on this reviewWe are so happy to hear this Kennedy!! We love your positive and sustainable mindset, one of a true global citizen :) Mahalo!Trip date: June 2024
- AMallory Houston· June 9th, 2024This trip was truly one of the best experiences of my life. It allowed me to learn so much about the culture of hawaii and gain a new perspective of tourism. I got to learn how to be global citizen with 21 other young adults who were very much like me.The people I met along the way each impacted me in a different way that was amazing. I think everyone should take a trip like this and GIVE is such a good place to do it through. The guides that led us through the native parts of hawaii were incredible and never failed to teach us new things and make it a fun time as well. I am already looking into doing another trip and I strongly encourage you to go on one as well!Show moreTrip date: May 2024
- Eva· June 6th, 2024This was a life changing experience! Learning about different cultures is one of my passions. GIVE allows you to do just that while meeting like-minded people. I will be doing it again in the future!Show moreTrip date: May 2024
- Sierra· June 5th, 2024This trip was one of the best experiences I have ever had the joy of being apart of. The guides were so supportive and never left anyone behind. Everything was so well organized and planned out. Our hosts at our accommodation were absolutely amazing and I definitely plan on returning to the big island.Show moreTrip date: May 2024
- Hailey· January 23rd, 2024I went on the Hawaii GIVE volunteer trip and it was AMAZING. The guides are awesome and truly make your time there more memorable and fun. I met super nice people who I will stay in touch with. The experience is what makes traveling with GIVE the most enjoyable and rewarding. There is so much that I would love to talk about this trip but in summary I would recommend anyone to go, it really is rewarding and life-altering as they immerse you deep into the Hawaiian culture.Show more
