Outstanding Big Island Experience! - Relax and enjoy the ride. Convenient pick up at our hotel. Dan is very personable and a wealth of information. We visited a coffee farm and enjoyed yummy product samples. Then visited a beautiful black sand beach with very cute napping sea turtles. At Volcano Park, we explored a lava tube and had great lunch at the Rim restaurant where we could view the vents inside the crater. At the end of the day, we visited Rainbow Falls before heading back. GREAT TOUR!

All day tour to Volcano National Park - This was by far the best thing we have done on the island so far. Zane was knowledgeable, very friendly! He made the island life, geology and climate come to life with his detailed knowledge! We had a small group, which was nice. Plan to spend time in the van driving. Nothing here is close by. As we approached the park, the eruption began-Zane got us there before everyone else and it was AMAZING! This would have been a great experience with or without the eruption!

Well-organized, not rushed, great set of stops - My wife and I took the tour and had a great time! The tour van—which was in excellent condition and had big windows—arrived on time. The tour was well-organized and had a great set of stops. David gave great explanations of everything we were seeing. We had plenty of time at each stop and never felt rushed. We enjoyed our lunch at The Rim restaurant at the Volcano House Hotel in Volcanoes National Park (overlooking the Kīlauea crater). David had earlier given us a number of choices off the menu which he called into the restaurant so our food was ready shortly after we sat down. The cost of the lunch is included in the tour fee. We were lucky that there was visible activity at Kīlauea while we were there. Even during the current period of activity (since 12/2024), not nearly every day has flowing lava like we saw today. The view would still have been pretty great even without that though.

A must see - Very nice area to visit. Walkway is flat surface and allowed for use of ADA scooter. Clean restrooms were a plus. There are three paths that allow for leisurely strolling.

Big Island Excursion - We had a wonderful experience thanks to our tour guide David. Plan for an all day excursion. Some hills and uneven terrain. Mostly mobility accessible with assistance.

Great tour guide - Loved the tour. David the tour guide was absolutely amazing and I really enjoyed the whole commentary while driving, his courteous demeanor, wonderfully care taking. My only gripe is with how crammed the van is. I got the last seat (since I was the last pickup), and was in the back row in a 4 seat above the wheel well. That was pretty annoying. Other than that, all was good. David again, was excellent!
