Great tour and even better guide. Ask for Zane when booking. - Zane was our tour guide and was great! The day started a little rough with a couple being late (not their fault) and one of the vans broke down. But Zane handled it like a pro and went on our way after about a hour delay. We saw the Tree of Life, a beautiful waterfall, and the volcano during the day and at night. We had a great lunch and dinner at the Lava Cafe after visiting the gift shop! The night view was incredible!! Zane’s expertise in geology really paid off. His knowledge of the area made the drive easy and quick. This is a must see when in the Kona area!!!

A fantastic day trip! - This was just an awesome experience! The driver and tour guide, Dave, was just the best! He was professional, friendly, and extremely entertaining. The activities were great and not just limited to seeing a volcano. We saw so much more than that: A coffee plantation; huge stretches of lava fields, seaside sights, Rainbow Falls, a sweet shop, and incredible landscapes in all directions. Definitely a do not miss experience!

Fabulous and Fun Learning Experience - Quite possibly the best thing I've done in many, many trips to Hawaii. Extremely knowledgeable and personable guides show you the birth of the islands first hand.

Incredible tour! - David was extremely knowledgeable about the island. He was passionate about geology and shared that with us. We learned a lot on this tour. He had a wonderful sense of humor and would answer any and all questions. And... an incredible driver. I could not imagine this tour with any other guide. It was a long tour, 11 hours, but the time flew by. We were provided with snacks and drinks. We had lunch at the Volcano National Park with a stunning view of the crater. If you don't have the time on your trip to spend a couple of days at the park exploring for yourself, this tour gives you a bit of everything, a coffee farm, lava tube, a water fall, craters, cliffs, a black sand beach! It was well worth it!

A long, fun day - The tour driver/guide, David, was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour is very long, about 11 hours, but covered much of the island. Volcano National Park is incredible.

Zane makes Hawaiian history and geo- science fun for everyone! - A truly amazing learning experience. Having the expertise of having a geologist as our tour guide was enhanced by his knowledge and passion about island life and eagerness to share its history and current activities to enjoy while visiting. The stops to see first hand the power of nature that continues to dramatically change the landscape were well organized and they were prepared with snacks and wet weather gear. Educational. Fun. Worth every penny.

Dave and the Big Island - I felt in good hands with Dave and the tour was handled very professionally from start to finish. He was engaging and when things didn't go as planned he was able to adjust and keep everyone positive and happy. The many parts of the island that might have taken me days to see and plan were all covered in one day trip and I'm glad to have left all the driving to him.

Late, no refund for sickness - My partner was nauseous from food the nice before. Out of consideration for the group we requested a cancellation. We likely would’ve had to get the van to pull over to vomit several times. Still we were not refunded any of the original amount we paid. They were late in picking us up and did not answer any phones.
