Fantastic day spent in Hilo with Rebecca

Private Island Volcano Tour in Hawaii with Pickup Included

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.

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!

So many beautiful stops
I am glad we left Oahu to see the national park and other beautiful parts of the big island. The weather at the top where you look out at the volcano was windy and rainy but still great! It was so cool to go from the outlook over the volcano to seeing what the cooled lava looked liked and then to change drastically to a tropical eco system to walk through the lava tube. Then we got additional site setting that included things like beautiful waterfalls. I would recommend it for sure!

experience of a life time.
this tour was just amazing, the experience of a lifetime. seeing a live volcano was the objective but what made this tour truly spectacular was our pilot who took us to see some unreal 'out of this world" waterfalls, heavenly scenery and natural vistas that looked like out of a movie - the whole adventure was mesmerizing.

Amazing adventure!!!
New York City
Cultural Stewardship in Waipiʻo Valley PRIVATE
sandrahC1725LV, Aug 2026
Amazing adventure!!!
Hawaii was everything we hoped it would be and so much more.We zip-lined through the trees, explored coffee farms and volcanoes, experienced a beautiful luau, enjoyed a sunset dinner cruise, traveled through incredible microclimates, and eaten some of the best food we’ve ever had. Every day was an adventure.But on our last day of our vacation, we were reminded that the most meaningful experiences aren’t always the ones you can plan.We had the privilege of participating in a stewardship program with this nonprofit dedicated to preserving Hawaii’s ancient lands, including the sacred Valley of the Kings on the Big Island. Guided by Native Hawaiians, we listened to stories passed down through generations and learned how to cultivate taro, the plant used to make poi and one that holds deep cultural significance.Knowing this is a place few people ever get to experience, and only with the guidance of Native islanders, made the day even more special. It was humbling, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that the heart of Hawaii isn’t just found in its breathtaking landscapes, it’s found in its people, traditions, and the care they continue to show for this extraordinary place.What an unforgettable way to end an incredible adventure. We leave with full hearts, wonderful memories, and a deep appreciation for the beauty, history, and spirit of Hawaii. 🌺❤️🙏🏻

Wonderful tour experience and great pictures!
Jodi was knowledgeable and patient with my boys. She is very passionate about the local fauna and the volcano. We had a tantrum that made us run late but despite that she didn’t rush the tour and extended it past the end time so we could see everything we were meant to see. I can’t thank her enough for that. She pointed out so many facts, beautiful plants and fauna. A real treat is that she is a photographer and takes family pictures throughout and they are free to download after! It is invaluable and I’m so glad she was able to capture these memories. I would recommend her and her tour to anyone coming to the big island!

Weather didn’t allow us to do what was originally planned in our tour, but we were still able to have the full 2 hours and saw more of the waterfalls and cliffs. We were given the option of rescheduling, cancelling or moving forward and so glad we just did it! Unbelievably beautiful!

A great tour and we felt we were contributing to a good cause.
Our guide Peter was extremely knowledgeable and experienced and is a member of the Friends of the Volcanoes Park, so the money we paid goes to the benefit of the park. He was very interesting, had lots of great stories, and was fun to be around.
