Amazing! Ask for tour guide Dave!!! - Our guide Dave was absolutely amazing!!! Hands down the best tour guide ever. He was experienced, attentive, patient, and had a lot of knowledge you could never learn from textbooks. The Hawaiian hospitality is real, and I felt like every dollar I spent was worth it. I learned so much from this tour as Dave shared a lot of his personal experiences from living in the island for so many years. And they were all interesting too. Some tour guides in other places share a lot of trivial facts that are uninteresting or too personal, but everything Dave shared was actually interesting, and he did not force/push anything onto us. From star constellations to the formations of lava tubes, Dave candidly shared his extensive knowledge and experiences with us. It felt like he actually knows every corner of the big island. I wish we had more time with him to learn more about it. Just keep in mind that there’s a lot of traveling in this tour (as expected since the volcano is inside a national park).

Great Experience! - This was a terrific tour. Our tour guide was Kawika and he was excellent! So knowledgeable and shared wonderful stories and history through the entire day. We were lucky and had great weather so the views were spectacular. We even got to star gaze because the sky was clear. It is a long day, and we were tired when we were done, but definitely worth the time and money. Highly recommend.

Volcano tour - Our tour guide Mark C was very knowledgeable and interesting. Really enjoyed the Volcano National Park and the black sand beach. However, the ride to get there and back was excruciatingly long. Thank goodness this tour company used beautiful and comfortable Mercedes Vans which definitely helped. In my opinion the other stops were just to fill up time and just ok. The dinner at the lodge was fair except for the carrot cake that was delicious.
