Hilo Shore Excursion: Volcanoes National Park & Black Sand Beach

No better way to see Hilo!
This was the perfect way to experience Hilo! We were picked up right at the port. The van took us to 7 different sites around the area, among them the black sand beaches, Rainbow Falls, Mauna Loa macadamia nut farm and our favorite, Volcanoes National Park. We were so fortunate! Along the route, we found out that Kilauea was erupting and we would be able to view it. Maggie, our guide, adjusted the route just a little bit, so we got great views of the volcano from three different locations. Maggie was such an enthusiastic, intelligent and informative tour guide. Everyone just loved her! Take this tour! There is no better way to see Hilo!

Moving Experience ... Highly Recommend
We really enjoyed the off the beaten sites that Fred took us to, and appreciated the great selfies and pix that Maryna helped orchestrate. While we missed Kilaeua's eruption, we saw the real world effects of this lively volcano. Moving experience.

Fun filled family day
Justin is a one man tour expert! Such a wonderful personality. Very personable, knowledgeable and a wealth of knowledge. The tour was a passenger van that held 12 passengers. The van was immaculate! There was plenty of opportunities to ask questions and free water was provided. The stops were breathtaking. The volcano, the waterfalls. WOW! We also stopped at the macadamia nut farm and candy/cookie factory. The opportunity to try samples and buy some sweets were fantastic. Ending the day at the beach watching turtles (honu) was wonderful. It was a fun packed day with a lot to see and do. Justin is just fantastic. I would highly recommend.

Hilo Shore Excursion: Punaluu Black Sand Beach, Volcano, & Hilo

Excellent and a must take tour!
This was one of the best tours I have ever been on. My husband and I flew in from Oahu to Hawaii just for the day. The tour guide, Amanda, was incredible. She was waiting for us when we got off the plane and from the moment she picked us up was engaging and accommodating. She has so much knowledge of Hilo and the island of Hawaii and shares it in an understanding and very interesting manner. She took us everywhere and informed us of the best views and photo spots at the beach and waterfalls. She shared the history of the volcano, the current and past eruptions, the makeup of the volcano and the chemical reaction that is currently happening. She knows the landscape of Hilo, the vegetation and migration of the plants. She knows history of what country and people contributed to the development of Hawaii. She is so interesting and what she shares is fascinating. She is proud of her tours and loves the company she works for praising them for treating her so well and providing tours that people enjoy. The van was clean and comfortable. She is a great driver. The bento box lunch was delicious. She provided beverages and made the day very comfortable. This is a tour worth taking and I hope all of the guides are as enjoyable as Amanda. Working with Cool Hawaii is very easy too.

A well-organized tour.
We visited many parts of Hilo and the national park during the well-organized trip.Chris was a friendly and informative tour driver.We rode in a minibus, not a large motor coach. So, after each stop, we did not have to wait a long time for all passengers to return to the bus.The length of the trip was just right.
