Book this to see the volcano NP - Great. Long day but our guide David talked non stop to give us info. Some stops were surplus to what we wanted from the day but that was ok. Small group. Personal touch to the delivery of the info to put everything in context. David was great with our 8 year old as well. A visit to volcano NP is a must and we were very happy how this trip was run and panned out. Highly recommended.

OMG the best - 5 Was a must do the only reason we went to Kona and def do not regret it at all . To walk 1 km accross a crater was the best tick that off my bucket list on par with walking through the Grand Canyon , so much to do I’d def say do it over 3 days we missed so much and we purchased a self guided tour for $10 so many places we didn’t know about get there early or over a couple of days

Amazing experience - David was very knowledgeable and passionate about Hawaii, he made the whole experience very enjoyable and interesting. The black sands beach was amazing and the volcano park is so beautiful. The only drawback is that we sit at the back of the car, missed some of the stories David shared.

So glad we chose this tour!! - A must do!! Tour guide, Dave, is super knowledgeable. The craters and landscape is overwhelmingly vast and awe inspiring. Standing on cliffs of lava above the crashing ocean waves is exhilarating and brings peace to the soul. One request: please offer a protein option for vegetarians not just lettuce (salad choices) eg: egg or beans in salad.

Memorable 25th Anniversary ! - What an amazing day with our geologist and tour guide, Zane! We learned so much and laughed the whole day. Having a guide like Zane is the only way to see the park! He knows all the best places to stop and what to look for. We loved lunch, dinner, the winery also! We had a wonderful 25th anniversary day at Volcano National Park! When we go back to the Big Island, I hope to set up a private tour with Zane for the day!

Breathtaking experience! - Amazing experience for a honeymoon excursion! Dave was an awesome host, very personable and knowledgeable. We got to see so many breathtaking things. Most memorable was eating lunch overlooking the crater and seeing the turtles at the black sand beach. I recommend bringing your own drinks/snacks and keeping them in your book bag if you want some earlier during the day (we got the provided ones after lunch).

Another Example of what a Great Job our National Park Service Does - Drove up to Volcano National Park from the Fairmont Orchid resort. We took the coast road up and the central island highways back. It kind of reminded me of the going to the Grand Canyon. You drive pretty far through a lot of trees to suddenly be presented with a big hole in the ground. It's interesting and the National Park Service has done a good job of providing a lot of information via placques and photos. I was surprised because I expected it to be surrounded by miles of bare lava fields and that wasn't the case at all (although you can see those elsewhere on the island). The coast road had some spectacular views. The return through the center of the island was mostly agricultural lands. Worth doing, but plan on taking an entire day.
