Although it rained the entire experience our guide was very informative about the park. It would have been nice if he would have talked more and shown less videos however. We drove by the lava tube but were told we would see it on the way back. This never happened. When questioned when we were going to see it Rob said we were out of time! He also told us we were allowed to take the black ash balls and gave us a few to take. They were confiscated when getting back on the ship. We were told then that nothing could be taken out of the park! Looking it up later we found out it is a federal offense to remove anything from the park and we could have received hefty fines!!
Aloha John, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and concerns. I would like to address several points in your review that contain factual inaccuracies. First, your statement that "we later found out it is a federal offense to remove anything from the park and we could have received hefty fines" is incorrect in this situation. During the tour, Rob clearly explained that the reticulite he passed around came from our private property, not from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park or any other protected area. As stewards of the National Park, we take park regulations and conservation very seriously. The material shown during the tour was collected from our own yard, roof, and gutters, where volcanic material naturally accumulated. Rob removed it from a paper bag he had brought in the vehicle; it was not collected during the tour or taken from the park. While federal and state laws prohibit removing rocks and other natural resources from protected park lands, those laws do not apply to material originating from private property. The item discussed was not taken from any park, and no laws were violated. Regarding the weather, we sent detailed tour information approximately two months before your visit. Those materials explain that Hawaiʻi is one of the rainiest places in the United States and that portions of the National Park are located within a rainforest where rain is common. Unfortunately, your group experienced some of the most challenging weather conditions we have seen for a cruise-ship tour in several years. Although none of your group members brought rain gear, we were happy to provide complimentary ponchos to make the experience more comfortable. When we approached the lava tube area, members of your group expressed that they did not want to get wet. In response, Rob adjusted the itinerary and sought areas of the park with better weather so everyone could enjoy the tour as much as possible. As with all of our tours, the itinerary remained flexible based on guest preferences and weather conditions. Our pre-tour materials also explain that tours are customizable and designed to maximize what guests can experience during their scheduled time. We provide up to 30 minutes of additional time at no charge when possible. However, time spent at lunch, shopping, or exploring independently still counts toward the tour duration. During your tour, extended stops—including lunch and independent exploration—used a significant portion of the available time. By the time we reached later stops, weather conditions remained extremely poor, and no members of the group expressed interest in returning to the rain-soaked areas, including the lava tube. The stop at the last overlook should have been 5 minutes, but it was 25 minutes. We modified your lunch reservation to give us the best chance of finding sunshine or better weather. We are one of the few companies that the Volcano House allows to make lunch reservations for that include the full menu. Most companies offer a limited menu, but our guests have access to the full menu for comfort and exclusivity. We know you had a good lunch experience; your whole group was enthusiastic about their meal when picked up. For transparency, all of our vehicles are equipped with GPS tracking and onboard cameras. Our records show that your group received approximately one additional hour beyond the scheduled tour time at no extra charge. We regret that the weather did not cooperate during your visit, but we worked throughout the day to adapt the itinerary, provide rain protection, extend the tour time, and create the best possible experience under exceptionally challenging conditions. Mahalo!
We had an amazing experience with Big Island VIP on a single-day inter-island trip to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Our private guide, Rob, was knowledgeable, fun, and made the day incredibly engaging—especially for our 13-year-old. The tour was fully customized for our family and included exploring lava fields, learning about the volcanoes, and even watching a volcano documentary on the van’s video screen between stops. Water and snacks were provided, which was a great touch. We missed the most recent eruption by less than 24 hours (sigh!) but Rob sent photos and videos of it to us which was super nice! A fantastic, educational experience and a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend! 🌋
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience, and we’re thrilled Rob could make your day so memorable! Seeing the volcano activity so close to your visit adds a unique story to your adventure. We appreciate your recommendation!
Incredible tour even though the volcano did not cooperate. I would recommend this to a friend. It was great!
Thank you, Melissa! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour despite the volcano's unpredictability. Your recommendation means so much to us!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Volcano Tour with Big Island VIP! Our tour with Big Island VIP was absolutely fantastic! Rob was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many great insights about the island’s volcanoes, history, and culture. He went above and beyond — even acting as our personal photographer for the day and capturing incredible memories. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Big Island! 🌋📸🌺
Thank you, Joanne! We're thrilled you had such a fantastic experience with Rob and enjoyed exploring the Big Island. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’re so glad we could help create unforgettable memories for you!
Amazing tour. The weather was very uncooperative which made it tough but somehow she still managed to give us a great tour and a great day. Very informative and entertaining!
Thank you so much! I hope you had an amazing week in Hawaii! Mahalo!
We enjoyed the Ultimate Hilo Volcano Tour with Rob. He met us on the pier at 8 am. We beat the crowds by starting early. Very informative videos in the van on the way up to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We parked at Volcano House and viewed the eruption that began the night before our arrival. After viewing the eruption, we saw a lava tube in the rain forest, craters, fissures and lava flows. While out on Chain of Craters Road, Rob noticed increased activity back at Kilauea. We returned for lunch at Volcano House to see a lava fountain 600-1000 feet high. It was a once in a lifetime experience! Rob showed us a wonderful and informative day. Before our return to the cruise ship, we saw Rainbow Falls and a black sand beach. Also, Rob took many pictures all day and provided a free upload for us.
Aloha Kirt! Thank you so much! Yes, you had an AMAZING lava fountain! That lava fountain was the largest we have ever seen. It rained Pele's hair all over our house again. I'm glad you got to see it!
We travelled as a family of ten on the Pride of America cruise. We booked this private tour wanting a more personal experience. The entire day from start to finish was fabulous. Skylar was great, very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He made sure that the entire family had enough time to enjoy the sites, and timed everything perfectly to ensure we made it back to port on time. Highly, highly, recommend.
Thank you Rose! We appreciate you! We are glad you had a great tour with us.
Today's tour was truly amazing. I doubt there is a more knowledgeable guide for the volcanic National Park than Jodi. She was engaging, entertaining, and very personable, going above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend her to everyone and will definitely be passing on her name to my friends and travel agent. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing her again in the future. (Group of 8 - parents and 6 young adults 20’s/early 30’s)
Aloha Karin! Thank you so much for emailing about your contact on Maui AND leaving a review. I hope you had an amazing vacation with your family. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
Our trip to Hawaii was a gift to celebrate many different events all at once (wedding anniversary, graduation from college, 30th and 60th birthdays), so we wanted to make every day special. Touring with Big Island VIP definitely made our day in Hilo and Volcanoes National Park extremely special. The four of us were cruising on the NCL Pride of America and had one day in Hilo, and we wanted to make the most of our time at the Park. We were originally going to rent a car and try to see the park on our own, but decided that we would be able to learn more with a guide. Rob picked us up at the pier early, and we were able to beat the crowds to the main tour spots, as well as go to locations in the park that not many people get to see. There is so much to see and do in the park, and we definitely appreciated Rob taking us to so many wonderful places. My husband was especially fascinated and had a wonderful dialogue with Rob about everything we saw throughout the entire day. The tour is enhanced by videos in the van explaining what we were about to see - the history of the volcanoes, the different types of lava, and the various eruptions that have occurred over the years. Rob is an encyclopedia of information, and it is evident how much he loves the island and sharing it with people. A bonus was that pictures were taken throughout the day, and shared with us after the tour. We all had a wonderful day (and had an equally wonderful day in Kona, for we booked a tour with Rob the next day as well)!
Aloha Nancy, wow! What a review!! Thank you so much! Rob wanted me to make sure you heard that the volcano erupted just about where we were saying it may erupt. We really appreciate you taking the time to learn about the National Park and really relish the opportunity to see brand new land and explore the most active volcano in the world. We love showing intellectually curious people such as you and your group the wonders of the National Park. A hui hou!
Jodi was amazing! The tour was informative and fun. She made our group feel like part of her family. We were thrilled that she took so many pictures and gave us the digital copies. We had a group of 8 that one of our members put together based on Jodi’s suggestion of how to get others on the tour. Totally worth the cost we paid. I highly recommend Jodi and her company.
Awww thank you Marla! How adorable! Totally my pleasure!! You all were so fun!
