Excellent day. Our guide April 23 2012 was Taj, whose knowledge of the island and volcanoes was amazing. He took us to "not the usual tourist areas" which made the tour even better. Definitely recommend this tour.
What a wonderful tour! Our guide Matt was excellent and so knowledgeable! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone fortunate enough to be making a visit to the Big Island of Hawaii!
Great tour. Matt was one of the best tour guides we ever had. Would recommend the tour, a definite must do.
Eugene was a great tour guide. Very energetic and knowledgable of the park and surrounding areas. Great tour!
Really enjoyable tour, overall. My only complaint was that it is not explicitly stated on here that they only pick up at select hotels. This made it very difficult for me since I did not have a car. Otherwise, Taj was awesome and, even though we didn't see any active lava, it was a really enjoyable tour!
Our experience was excellent .Our Tour guide
named Taj was very knowledgable and gave us a lot of information about the Kona Volcanoes and all living things around it.It was a trip of a lifetime!!!
This is by far the easiest and best way to see the Volcano National Park on the Big Island. Our guide knew the best places to visit at the best times during the day. He also was extremely knowledgeable on the area and history. One of the best tours I have ever taken!

Great tour guide, wish we had a little extra time for the gift shop. But the guide spent time showing us extra stuff.
A fantastic guide to an amazing tour. The sights plus knowledge learned was more than we imagined. I highly recommend this tour.
Amazing tour! Terry our guide was great - really knowledgeable and helpful with questions when asked. Lunch and breakfast were enjoyable. Got a good amount of time in the park. Ashamed we didn't see any active lava flows (but dependent on if your lucky enough when you go). Definitely worth it!
Very good guide - Taj. Knew all the facts and more. Tour is a very long 12 hours. Not recommended for kids or older people or those with only a casual interest in the volcano. Nearing the end of the tour i was wishing it was time to head back, as it all got a bit of the same after awhile.Tour didn't return to our hotel till 11.30pm. Vegetarian dinner was included and was ok.
For the cost of this tour we were very disappointed. Understandably we were not able to get close to the volcano as it was active but we expected to go out on a hike and get closer and see more. We also found that our guide was not that knowledgeable about the local plants,etc around the volcano, although he was a pleasant young man.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! An excellent tour with an excellent guide (Matt) who had a terrific knowledge of geology, volcanology and also ancient Hawaiian legends. Several stops and side-tours during the day meant we not only saw the magnificent caldera at Kilauea, but explored a seldon visitted lava tube, had lunch on the beautiful cliffs on the coast, hiked over lava fields and tasted fruits and berries right off the bush - after making the necessary offering to the Goddess Pele of course! Finished the day off with a drive through tour of Hilo. The commentary was a wonderful mix of fact and cultural stories, all very interesting. A wonderful day and a tour we would do again if we went back to Hawaii. 5 stars to our guide Matt who really made this a special day.
Prepare for a long day, but well worth it. You will get a chance to walk on and experience lava up close (not hot lava), travel into a lava tube, see a live volcano and experience the stars and night sky like nowhere else in the world. Great experience and highly recommend it!
