Worthwhile hike.
Dave was our guide. It was a rainy day but he made the best of it. He is very knowledgeable. We only had 4 people on our tour. We were unable to swim due to the intensity of the falls but the overall experience was great fun.

Fabulous tour from Hilo cruise port
Excellent day visiting Richardson black sands, Macadamia nut factory, the fantastic national volcanoes park, the beautiful Rainbow Falls with a bonus trip to the big island candy store. Andre was our guide and he was exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable and amusing. Lovely to have just 11 passengers on the bus. Ensured we were back to the cruise ship with plenty of time to spare. One of the best days of our holiday.

A terrific tour!!!
Can't imagine a better experience! Justin is an excellent tour guide! The tour van is his own and he keeps it in excellent condition. The tour is well organized with enough time at each of the stops to get a good experience of Hilo and the surrounding areas. He gets you as close to the volcano as you possibly can. The visit to the lava tube, the Rainbow Falls stop and the sea turtles stop are also memorable highlights.

Very Excellent Adventure Tour
What an excellent tour! Our guide, Garry, was so knowledgeable and interesting. So fun to explore with him. The tour picked us up at our rental house in a nice Sprinter van. We got to go onto private land which is pretty much uninhabited. They provided walking sticks, rain jackets, towels, day packs, snacks - everything was in great condition and excellent quality (ie. Patagonia jackets). It was so interesting to learn about the land and peoples who populated it originally. The hike was exactly as described - mild walking about 1-2 miles. Unfortunately, we were there the day before Hurricane Lala hit the island and the waterfalls were enormous so no swimming for us. Garry was amazed because he had been there 2 days prior and the size of the waterfalls was at least half to 3/4 of what we saw. We were disappointed to miss the swimming in the waterfalls but....that's nature for you. We had an excellent lunch afterwards. This tour is pricey but well worth it. I would definitely use Hawaii Forest & Trail again for other adventures.

Family Snorkel Day!

Family Snorkel Day!
A wonderful charter experience that was easy going and supplied everything we needed so was stress free Led by Captain Mitch and Riley as guide. The 10 person boat was great to avoid crowds and get in and out of site with ease. We had one family member not comfortable with the ocean/snorkleing but the guide and captain made her uncomfortable with the experience she was in the water the entire time! We saw beautiful coral reefs and a multitude of fosh along with spinner dolphins chasing our wake. The captain and guide were top notch and very knowledgeable about the marine life and history of Hawaii. Can’t wait to call them and book next trip to the Big island.

Simple amazing!!!!
That was one of the best experiences. Our guide Justin, was simply amazing person. His knowledge of the island was remarkable. Was no question for him difficult to answer. One thing which I feel is so important, he makes us feel like one big family. Thank you Justin for all your knowledge, hospitality and most of all your charisma.

Aaron is an excellent guide for the Volcano National Park

Hawaii Volcanoes NP: Private Kilauea Eruption Insights Tour
Diana_N, May 2026
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

Private – All Inclusive Big Island Waterfalls Tour
Quest54527635298, Mar 2026
Best guide on the island!
We booked this tour last minute to get help seeing and getting access to the waterfalls we wanted to see. From the outset Shawn was superbly professional. He delivered on his promises of clear communication and tailoring the day to include what we wanted. The private waterfall and rappelling were amazing and see all the other waterfalls on the east and north side of the island were breathtaking. The farm tour and cooking class were….interesting. See the potential there but the folks running that (not related Shawn or his company and to his credit he agreed with our assessment) need some more professional organization.Eric and Cora were great and felt completely safe rappellingPickup and drop off at our condo were seamless. When Shawn learned we had been at Volcanoes National Park the day before he happily filled in with extra information we had missed out on and answered our questions as we drove from Waikoloa to Hilo. His knowledge of the geology, history and culture of the island and Hawai’i are superb. And on the drive home we talked restaurant recommendations rations and they were all spot on. His talent for subtly figuring out what clients are asking for and then delivering exactly the experience they want makes home the best. We had a great day.Mahalo nui Shawn!!

Fantastic day touring Big Island!
Very easy to book a tour on their website and communication with Shawn was a breeze. The tour itself was everything we wanted - a relaxed day visiting waterfalls around the island and then the National Volcano Park with excellent driving by Shawn. The restaurant he selected for lunch was perfect for our dietary needs and the restaurant for dinner has the the best view! I would highly recommend booking a tour with them if you're looking for a private tour of the island!

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.
