Educational and fun! - This is a great way to see the big island of Hawaii! Scott has a depth of knowledge regarding the volcanoes, cultural aspects of the island and fun facts! Take this tour and you’ll be amazed at what there is to see on this island besides the volcanoes and rainforest - which are magnificent!

He is obviously very passionate about his work and his interests. 100% I would book him again for a tour.

Great tour!! - Scott was friendly and informative. Besides Akaka Falls and the volcano crater he took us to many interesting and beautiful sites we never would have found on our own. And we got lucky and saw 11 sea turtles and a monk seal on the Black Sand Beach! Well worth it!

Fun way to see the island w/o a car - 10/10 tour. Especially if you're staying at one of the resorts like we were, I definitely recommend taking a day to go on this tour to see the rest of the island. The rest of the island is a totally different experience from the resort area due to the many microclimates. Scott knows the island really well and is energetic, funny, and down to earth. Pick up and drop off were easy from our resort. The included wraps for lunch were good and I appreciated the efficiency of eating on the go. Not much hiking, but good if you're not looking for something strenuous. I recommend booking directly through the website thevolcanovan.com.

A perfect day to explore - Scott was beyond amazing. Super knowledgeable and friendly. The falls, beaches, volcano and tube walk were all perfect. We had a lovely wrap lunch included with snacks with water/juice. A great way to see the island and its 10 microclimates.
