Don’t miss Volcanoes National Park! - We visited Volcanoes National Park on a cruise port call. The four of us rode in a clean comfortable Mercedes Van. Our guide, Skylar, was well spoken and very knowledable about the local geology, flora and fauna . He was very flexible in our itinerary. The van played an interesting movie about the eruption history of the area and pleasantly filled the ride. We were very spacious with 4 and I’d say 8 would be fine. The lunch at the lodge overlooking a crater was great. The local fish and chips was very tasty and service quick. Overall, a fantastic tour with a fantastic guide.

Volcanoes, yes, but also more . . . - Skylar drives, photographs, and guides all day! He makes it look easy, but it is a lot of work. After some great photos with our cruise ship and banyan trees in the background, we headed straight up to the national park. During the ride, there's an option to watch a Nova episode about a massive eruption that occurred in 2018 which illustrates how powerful and complex KÄ«lauea can be and how challenging it can be for the people who coexist with it. Once at the park, Skylar helps you take in so much. The volcanoes are stunning, but there are so many other things to see in the park. There's an option to eat lunch overlooking KÄ«lauea's crater which is so memorable. Keep in mind, Skylar is photographing and explaining the whole time, so you can devote your attention to the scale of what's around you. After the park, you head down to Hilo. While we were there, we saw a stunning waterfall, a gorgeous black sand beach, and a candy factory! We happened to arrive at the beach when members of one of the canoe clubs were present. Skylar had prepped us to respectfully steer clear of the canoes because they are very valuable and culturally significant, but the club members invited us to look at their canoe, and they explained a lot about the canoe and their races. Skylar was so flexible and let the paddlers take the lead. It was a really special moment in an already amazing day!
