Mike the Tour Guide- 5 Stars! - We had Mike as our tour guide. He was fabulous!! He is a local, very friendly, & is so knowledgeable of the island. He showed us so many “must-see” locations and really made our experience of Hilo & the volcanos so wonderful! If you get a chance, this was a great tour with an excellent tour guide!

Greaat trip with a good guide - I traveled in a Minivan with a couple on their honeymoon. The guide was really good and picked me ip at the cruise ship. The park was wonderful and we were lucky to get sunny weather tough we missed the eruption by 3 days.

Erupting Volcano and beautiful sights - We had such a great day with our tour guide Mike! He showed us so many things and gave a lot of interesting information along the way. He gave us great tips about things to buy in Hilo and Kona. We got lucky and saw the volcano erupting while we were in the park. We ate great sandwiches while watching the volcano. We stopped for the sandwiches at a small store just outside the park. We loved every part of the day.
