Wonderful Tour, Amazing host!
I can’t say enough good things about this tour! It was amazing and Igor was just wonderful. We have teenagers and they can be difficult to please at times. Igor was kind patient but more importantly took us to all these wonderful places around the Island. It’s a long day of traveling around the island but it’s well worth it. There are plenty of food stops along the way so don’t worry about that. Bring layers because climate changes rapidly. My girls loved Igor and we loved that he shared his favorite spots with us! Thank you for a memorable day!

Rain Didn’t Dampen a Wonderful Experience!
Our tour guide Sean and driver Eugene were excellent. Sean was very knowledgeable, professional and attentive. It rained during our entire tour - but we still had a wonderful time, and Sean had umbrellas. (Bring your rain gear and water resistant shoes just in case because it rains quite often in Hilo). We explored Volcanoes National Park, including Kilauea, Volcano House lodge, steam vents and lava flows. We loved Thurston Lava Tube and then went on to enjoy lunch at Hilo Farmers Market, where they had music and dancers. We also enjoyed Rainbow Falls, Big Island Candies, the gardens, and the black sand beach. This tour moves quickly to give you an opportunity to see as much as you can, but we did not feel rushed. Sean and Eugene kept everything going at a nice pace that gave us enough time to enjoy each location while still staying on schedule to see everything. Our group included one child (age 11) and two adults in their 70s, and they had no issues keeping up or accessing the attractions. The stairs into the lava tube can be a little slippery when wet, but we just went slow and everyone was fine. Great tour - and if it’s raining on the day you’re booked, don’t let that deter you. Just grab your rain gear and go. You won’t regret it!

Hilo experience
Jill was great. She had us laughing from the start. We stopped at Rainbow Falls to start and it was great to learn about the significance of the falls to the community. We then headed up to the Volcano National Park, it was eye opening, we hoped to see the eruption, but only steam. Jill shared a lot of info on the history of eruptions and what it meant/means for the community, great opportunity to learn. We really enjoyed walking in the lava tube. We stopped at a local chocolate store at the end and bought some home. Overall a great way to spend a day in Hilo.Thank you, Michael

Great Day, Great Experience, Great Tour Guid
Fantastic adventure. Great way to see the Big Island and all its charms in one day. From black sand beaches all the way to volcanic craters, what a perfect day. Our guide Lewis was phenomenal. If you book this trip, call the Company and ask for him. He is that good. Knowledgeable, friendly, adaptable, everything you want in a guide. We really felt like we had our own personal tour of the Island. What a great person and a true professional. I can’t say enough about him and the experience we had today. It was just incredible!

Hawaii Volcanoes NP: Private Kilauea Eruption Insights Tour

Aaron is an excellent guide for the Volcano National Park
Our guide was Aaron… he was one of the best guides that we’ve ever had! Not only did we take us to the major sites (Kilauea, the Lava Tube and the most recent Lava fields), he took us to a local market, where we bought the best sandwiches… then took us to one of the most memorable spots - with the most memorable views (overlooking lava fields and down the Pacific Coast of the Island) at which to have lunch. It was an incredible vantage point that we will remember forever.We saw the Kilauea caldera, the Volcano House and the Nakuru lava tunnel, PLUS a few other calderas and other spots that larger tour groups will likely never see… where we saw lava fissures, caldera sink holes that don’t make the itineraries of larger tour groups, but have, nonetheless, attracted Stanford geologists!If you want a small group, or private-guide experience, then find Aaron! He is absolutely the best!

Tour guide makes perfect day
Thankfully for whatever reason we were drawn to this business as soon as we got off the cruise. The guide walked us to an open vehicle that took minutes driving us to the office so we could pay for our tour. Another Thankful moment they had two tickets left to do exactly what I had in mind for the day!!! So the earlier you can get here the better chance you have especially if you want to tour the volcano & waterfall. Daniel was a great tour guide, lots of kindness, down to earth & family oriented! He had his tour mapped out so his group could sightsee the main attractions of Hilo. Lots of insight given about Hilo with Daniel leading the way. I could not have asked for a more perfect day than we had despite not knowing how I was gonna get around to things I read about. It helped our group was on time from sightseeing each time dropped off. The traffic picked up as the day went on but Daniel got us back to the cruise ahead of schedule for departure
