Fantastic day spent in Hilo with Rebecca
Rebecca picked us up from Port of Hilo. Rebeccas communication prior to our tour was fantastic, she picked us up on time. We started the day at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park - home to Mauna Loa and Kilauea where the goddess Pele lives. After a quick coffee stop, we went to the Thurston Lava Tube, which is surrounded by stunning rainforest. The path takes you right through the tube, and out the other side, in a loop. We then headed to the district of Ku'a, which was severely affected by hurricane Lala last month, we had lunch at a lovely restaurant. Our tour guide Rebecca was keeping an eye on the live Kilauea feed, while we had lunch, as Kilauea was building up for an imminent eruption and the smoke was showing signs of an orange glow! So back to Kilauea we headed. We waited and watched for nearly an hour - the smoke was getting thicker and was coming from lots more vents, we could have stayed there for hours just watching but we had to leave to get back to the ship. Rebecca was very professional and knowledgeable, we had a fantastic day, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and felt like we were touring with a friend, that is how relaxed we felt. Thank you Rebecca for making our day wonderful.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and Best of Hilo

Volcanoes, Waterfalls & the Best Guide Ever
Agnes is the kind of guide you hope for but rarely get — warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to be around. From the moment she picked us up, she set the tone for an incredible day in Hilo. She knows SO much about the island, but she shares it in a way that feels like a great conversation, not a lecture. She welcomed every question we had (and we had plenty!), and she made it feel like she was genuinely excited to share more whenever we asked.She took us everywhere: an erupting volcano (yes, erupting!), local shops, a beautiful beach, waterfalls, gardens, and those massive banyan trees that make you feel tiny in the best way. Early on, she noticed how interested we were in the plants around us, so she started pointing out names, stories, and uses — and we even ended up tasting wild ginger on the side of the road. It was such a fun, unexpected moment that made the day feel even more personal.And when someone mentioned macadamia nuts, she didn’t hesitate — she made it happen. Agnes is flexible, thoughtful, and clearly loves what she does. Her car was stocked with water, snacks, and umbrellas, which tells you everything about how prepared and caring she is.This tour was one of our favorite experiences in Hawaii, and Agnes made it unforgettable. Book her — you’ll be so glad you did.

Best tour for a family who needs flexibility!
Rebecca was amazing! Kind, flexible, and accommodating to any group or limitations you have! She called within minutes of me booking just to go over every detail and reassure me of the itinerary and that she was able to pick me up from our hotel even though the website said it was out of policy. She accommodated a family or two elderly grandparents and a 2 yr old toddler. We were changing our pickup time and whether we wanted to do a day or night tour all the way up until the night before and she was so accomodating and doing research to give us minute by minute suggestions. I will totally book with her again the next time I come back!

What an absolutely incredible experience! Dale was our pilot, and he was amazing! Great commentary along with being very funny and informative! The landing down by the waterfall was amazing! 🤩 we also especially loved flying by the coast with all the waterfalls streaming down into the ocean! And flying into the canyons!! It was absolute magic! This was an unforgettable experience! ❤️ what a great way to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary!

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!

Great tour, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide
This was our first visit to the big island of Hawaii and checking out Volcano National Park was high on our list of things to visit. We booked a private tour because my wife has some limitations as to how far and fast she can walk. We were picked up and dropped off right at our hotel in a new Mercedes van. Alex was our tour guide/driver and he was excellent. He was knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information about Hawaii and volcanoes on our two hour drive from our hotel to the park. He was very conscientious and provided water, soda snacks and lunch, as well as, bathroom breaks whenever we needed one. He knew exactly where to go and park so our time at the park was very efficient. He provided flashlights and escorted us through the lava tube. It was an amazing experience.
