A truly excellent day: excellent guide; wonderful sites; lots of fun! - We booked a full-day Hawai’i Forest and Trail tour to Volcanoes National Park. The trip also included a visit to Rainbow Falls and a chocolate farm in Hilo. We could not have imagined a better tour. We met our guide, Debra, at the Royal Kona resort at 7:45am, and embarked on a delightful day. The 4 people in our party were the only guests on the tour, so we had the benefit of an informative, knowledgeable and warm guide in a comfortable van all day. We visited Volcanoes National Park on a Thursday — Kilauea had been fountaining on the Monday, and although, by Thursday the lava lake was not glowing and the gases coming out of the summit were cloudy but not fiery, it was still an excellent visit. We made several stops in the Park, including a trek through the moody and beautiful fern forest and the lava tube, with the final one being at the Volcano Lodge. From there, we went to Hilo, where we visited Rainbow Falls and visited a small chocolate farm. We tasted lots of varieties of locally-made chocolate, and saw a variety of fruit trees on the property. Even the ride back to Kona was fascinating, as Debra identified all the volcanoes we were seeing on the way back across the Saddle Road, including a view of Haleakala on Maui across the water. I can’t say enough about our guide Debra, and about the tour designed by Hawai’i Forest and Trail. It was a highlight of our trip!

Great day on the Big Island. - It was an excellent day. Debra was a great guide. She had a lot of knowledge about the specific things on the tour but also about most things Hawaii. She answered questions about the flora and fauna, history and economy and everything else we asked about. She was good about accommodating different activity levels within the group. The day was well paced with breaks, snacks and activities. I would highly recommend Debra as a guide and this day trip as an experience.

Enjoyable day trip to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park - We had a very enjoyable day with an excellent, friendly guide. I would have liked to hike more in the park, but we did see Kilauea after its recent eruption, saw a pit crater, walked through the lava tube, and had lunch out on the pahoehoe (smooth lava rock). The waterfall was just OK--it was pretty and gave us a break from the bus. The last stop at the cacao farm was very interesting, and included little samples of different types of chocolate!

Great tour - We had an amazing trip with Willie! He was so knowledgeable and friendly. We learned things that we never would have known if we had gone to the park on our own. He took us to different sites in the park and then we did the chocolate farm and the Falls park. The chocolate farm was a great experience! We learned about the whole process. Highly recommend this tour and this company!!

Amazing Volcano Tour! - We had such a great time exploring Volcanoes National Park with Hawaii Forest & Trail. Our guide, Mel, was fantastic—super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made us feel totally comfortable. It was just us and one other family, and she really made it feel like we were all on a trip together, not just a tour. Mel was so attentive and genuinely passionate about what she does. We didn’t want the day to end. Would absolutely recommend this experience!

A Wonderful Day with Hawaii Forest & Trail - When my wife and I were planning our trip to the Big Island, two of our priorities were to 1) visit Volcanos National Park and 2) visit a chocolate farm. We accomplished both by taking the Volcano, Chocolate, and Waterfalls tour with Hawaii Forest & Trail. The tour started with an early morning pick up near our condo at the Waikoloa Beach Resort, followed by a drive across the island on the Saddle Road. Following a short stop in Hilo to pick up more customers, we made a short drive to Rainbow Falls for photos. From there we headed to Volcanos National Park, where we had lunch (diet restrictions were handled perfectly!), took a walk in a several years old lava field, walked through a lava tube, and then visited Volcano House where we were able spend several minutes taking in the close-up view of the Kilauea caldera (unfortunately the volcano was not erupting that day). After leaving the National Park, we were driven back to Hilo where we visited a chocolate farm / factory. The entire chocolate growing process from tree to finished product was fascinating (and the chocolate samples were very tasty!). Throughout the day, our knowledgeable guides did an excellent job explaining the various landscape features and plants, as well as discussing the history of the areas that we visited. There were plenty of restroom breaks. We highly recommend Hawaii Forest & Trail to everyone!
