Volcanos, Waterfalls and Black Sand Beaches - Our tour guide Dexter was excellent. Knowledgeable and Authentic. He took pictures, he helped us on and off the bus. He shared his love for the island, it's people and it's many treasures, with us like we were family. Witnessing yhe active eruption of the Volcano was a once in a lifetime experience. The short hikes to see the lava tubes, and the beautiful waterfalls, were great, and writing our names in the black sand beach, if only for a few moments was a magical memory.

Volcanos National Park Adventure - Our guide and driver Dexter was very knowledgeable of local flora, fauna and Hawaiian history. The tour covered all the major sights on the Hilo side of the big island including Rainbow Falls, Akaka Falls with the main event being the volcanos national park. The bus has a capacity of 16 people so is smaller which makes the whole experience feel more intimate. The day started at 7.30am and finished around 5pm. We were lucky enough to see Kileuea erupting when we visited!

Fabulous trip to Volcano National Park. Opt. Helicopter tour was the an INCREDIBLE way to end a day trip in paradise! 😊 - Highly recommend this trip with the optional Helicopter tour. Volcano National Park was such an amazing place. Would recommend this tour and to at least give yourself two full days on this island to really enjoy all there is to see. We had a wonderful experience!!!

Amazing tour guide - The visit to the Volcano National Park was exponentially better because our driver / tour guide Gabriel provided insights on what we were seeing throughout the bus ride from the pier terminal to the park, plus he kept us entertained with a great sense of humor. If you take this tour, ride with Gabriel!

Great tour! - Great tour. Aki was informative with his stories and history of Hawaii. We were given time to explore enough to make us want to return to explore more of the Big Island.

Unexpected customer service - Our driver Dexter is a nice, patient person. However, the tour did not meet our expectations. Despite being advertised as a Hawai’i Island Volcano Adventure Tour from Hilo with a schedule from 7:30am to 6:00pm, we were disappointed by several issues: • We arrived at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park at 11:30am and were only allowed to stay for about 30 minutes • When we requested to stay longer and explore, Dexter advised us to contact Polynesian Adventure • The tour representatives were unhelpful, putting us on hold and being rude • We were originally told we would be dropped back at the hotel at 4:30pm, which contradicted the tour description • Dexter ultimately took us to Akaka Falls, which took over an hour Despite these frustrations, we want to acknowledge that Dexter was an excellent guide who tried his best to make us happy. We believe Polynesian Adventure should improve their customer service and adhere more closely to their advertised tour description.

The tour was supposed to... - The tour was supposed to be for 10 hours but we came back in 6 because everything was rushed. We would have liked to spend more time on volcanos or even see multiple volcanos.
