5 star rating: Highly Recommended Reviewed by Claudia L, April 2013

We had an amazing day and loved every second of this tour. We enjoyed stopping at a local coffee farm, local bakery, Black Sand Beach, then the volcano! The food we had was very good too and the entire day was relaxing. Our tour group was small and we had so much fun with the other people. The guide Rob was amazing, he was very friendly and made us all very comfortable. Rob had so much wonderful information of all aspects of Hawaii. We learned more from Rob in one day then all the other days of our trip combined. This tour was one of our favorite things we did!!!! The only thing we would change would be to get closer to the lava, as we were very far away we could only see a small glow from about a hundred yards away, still very pretty though.

Jessie was a great guide and made the day memorable in many ways. We stopped in special places which really added to the experience. He even found ways around a roadblock to get us in a good viewing position. No, he didn't break the law.
