The people were GREAT. On your voucher you should put more information about who is to pick us up at the airport and the actual name of the tour company. I only found the name on the email you sent saying you could not pick us up. We loved our guide. Very informative and sweet and funny.

The trip to the Big Island to see and learn about the Island was well worth the time. You will see a Volcano but, you will not be guaranteed the sight of lava. The day we were there the lava flow had changed direction and was about 6 miles from us. Guess if you were up to the hike you could have left the tour and went on your own. Our guide was very well informed about all things the Island had to offer and was very funny. He would take time to answer any questions you had and I don't think he ever said "I don't know". If you are looking for a good time and want to see some great countryside this is a trip worth doing. I just wish I would of had more time.

We had an excellent guide-driver. The trip was extremely interesting, educational and informative, and we would do it again.

I definitely recommend this tour! It was a very long day but well worth the time as it was an awesome experience. The tour suits people of varying physical ability - my parents and I had a wonderful experience that will last forever in our memories. Go for it and enjoy! Two thumbs up!

Fantastic! Our tour guide made this one of the best tours I have ever been on. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He even brought us to a private black-sand beach to see some sea turtles at the end of the day since we had some time to kill. A must-do if you are visiting the Big Island.

The volcano trip was fantastic! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining! He was one of the best guides I have toured with. I would have liked to spend more time walking over the lava flow and would have liked to skip the orchid stop. The orchid stop was not worth while and was the worst part of the trip. The trip was much better than I expected and I would recommend this trip to anyone.

This was a great tour - the rain forest, lava tube, and crater are fantastic experiences, and our guide was a delight!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Everything was well organized and there were no problems with the tour. My only complaint was that by the middle of the day we were all so tired from meeting the bus at 4:30am that we didn't enjoy it as much as we might have. However, to fly to another island for only one day requires the early rising.

Worth doing if the weather cooperates. I visited on the tail end of a storm and visibility was not great. Even in the mist it was impressive, but would undoubtedly be better in clear weather!

Don't expect to see an active, hot lava flow up close on this trip, don't kid yourself. But that's not Viator's fault but rather national safety standards - you don't actually want to get burnt.

The motor coach was clean and spacious. Our driver grew up in the area and was very knowledgable. The only draw back was with such a long day, the food options weren't great, so bring your own sandwich if you can!

A fantastic experience. I had a bit of waiting around as I came in on the first flight. The tour guide was great, even lent out sunscreen.

This was a long day, but enjoyable. We enjoyed the views of the volcano crater and lava flows. I recommend taking food with you, as there were no lunch stops and we ended up with ice cream for breakfast. Also, the trip ended at four in the afternoon, but our flight was not scheduled until after six, so we had a long wait at the airport.

Our guide only gave info in the van. Saw other guides with customers outside of their vans providing information.
