Wonderful volcano hike - We had a fabulous time on this hike! The views were spectacular, and walking on the volcano crater floor was a real highlight. The guide, Jennifer, shared a lot of information about the volcano, the plants and animals, and the Hawaiian legends, which really enhanced the trip. The small group size was also a real plus. We highly recommend this tour!

An afternoon well spent. - Jennifer is a terrific guide and is very knowledgeable about the Volcano Park history and Hawaiian culture. She is a great communicator and loves guiding people. Mt. Kilauea had a small eruption a couple hours after our tour which was exciting.

Volcano hiking experience - We rated this experience a 5. Out tour guide Jennifer is a wealth of information. Shared with us about the vegetation, lots of information about the volcanos, the flows of the lava and what it means, historical information. Our hiking experience was awesome. Even though the weather was less than desirable, Jennifer made our experience totally worth it.
