A wonderful experience. - This tour was great thanks to our knowledgeable, friendly and funny guide David. He made the whole trip fun, interacting with all passengers (full van), and accompanying us in each stop to answer questions and give information.
The stop at the coffee farm, the black sand beach, the crater, the steam holes, the lava tube in the dark..... all a great experience, including the malasada and the sandwich for lunch with the always great tasting sweet bread, the dinner at the restaurant was really nice as well, as we could pick our entrees.
No, we didn't see lava or glow, it was cloudy and misty as we were in the clouds and we got wet, not a beautiful sunset...... We went to the Volcano National Park to see a volcano with a lunch and a dinner, great guide and our group was a riot, we had the best of times, because nature is unpredictable and we got what we got, no regrets specially on the lava part, as part of the park had been closed till that day, because of the earthquakes and increased activity.

Thank you Dave! - The itinerary was great. It gave you a wonderful overall of some great things to see on the big island. The van was super clean and comfortable, and the addition of educational videos during the ride was nice. But of course the best part was our tour guide Dave! He was so knowledgeable and personable, it was a pleasure spending the day with him!

Great day! - Grant was an excellent tour guide. He included facts about the island and the Hawaiian culture that other tour guides who have not been on the island as long would know. He also gave us tips throughout the day on other things to do on the island. Many of which we did end up doing and all were spot on recommendations, especially going to Hapuna Beach!

Excellent full day tour - Our family of 6 adults took this trip. Ridge was our guide and was excellent. They provide plenty of food and drinks with a lot of stops along the way. It was a great way to sample sites on Kona and get a taste of Volcano National Park. The lunch and dinner were both good as well.

Beautiful views but lousy food - Seeing the island was fantastic and our guide Kiwi was so informative. We loved the volcano of course! Food on the island was a problem however and not just on this tour. While the setting for dinner was very nice, the food (other than the delicious soup) was obviously pre-cooked and then reheated, drying it out severely, only the brocolli survived. The promised chocolate cake couldn't even be called a brownie, it was flatter than that. It was a shame that such a lovely place couldn't produce something better but the staff was very nice.

Disappointing - Dave, our guide, was great as was most of the tour. The food was not great especially the lunch sandwich which was terrible, almost all bread and a tiny amount of turkey. But the biggest disappointment was the volcano. Very interesting to see in the daytime but here is what their description says online: “After viewing the volcanos in full daylight watch them light after dark for the full Hawaii volcano experience “. This was going to be the highlight of the tour for me. It turns out that the volcano never lights up anymore and the company should know this. We didn’t even return to the rim at night because we would not have been able to see anything. They should not sell something they know they can’t deliver.
