Very nice tour - unfortunately it rained that day so we couldn’t walk that much but our guide Adam nevertheless made the tour worth while and told us about big island and it’s volcanoes while driving through the national park. You could really tell that he loves the island and is very passionate about and interested in its nature, history etc. Also the food is really good!

Amazing. Our guide Tracey knew her stuff and is a very interesting person in her own. Her stories of life on the island gave everything a very personal touch. If you are coming and want to see lava tubes and the volcanoes, do yourself a favor and go with these amazing folks.

A fun-filled day from start to finish. Our first stop was at a private lava tube to avoid the crowds- and after a long, bumpy ride, the toured well worth it. We had it completely to ourselves. Gorgeous gold-flecked walls and u could plainly see the way the lava carved out the tunnel. Nice, filling picnic lunch, then on to Kilauea. The volcano was only smoking that day but the views from the park were stunning and we loved playing in the safe steam vent area by the parking area. Finished with a hearty picnic dinner on the lava fields overlooking the sea arch at sunset. This was one of the most gorgeous views we ever saw by the crashing ocean. Amazing pix here! Guide was super friendly and funny, and very accommodating.
