Volcanoes and more! - We just had a great volcano tour with Scott. He was very kind and knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions we might have. It was four of us and it was awesome to have the small group experience. We would definitely do it again!

We loved this tour - This was our best tour on the big island. Scott had an amazing amount of knowledge and he loves to share that wealth as he drove us around and showed us the sights. Our most important goal was the volcanoes on the island and he didn't disappoint. It was fascinating learning about the volcanoes and the different climates on the island. Well worth with trip!

Volcanoes, waterfalls, and crashing surf - Scott is an excellent tour guide with lots of energy and enthusiasm, a wealth of knowledge, and a great sense of humor to keep the trip enjoyable and fun. He picks out the best locations on the island and in Volcanoes National Park, which would be difficult and less efficient to do on your own. Thanks to Scott for answering all of our nonstop questions throughout the day!
