コナからの火山国立公園の冒険

I just finished this tour and I am so happy I signed up for this trip. What a great tour of the Big Island! First of all, communication with Eric the day was perfect - plans had to change to due the impending storm and early closures. I can’t say enough about our guide Dave - he was a great driver and an excellent tour guide - very friendly and knowledgeable. Big Island Candies is a nice, local stop. Volcano National Park is always a great destination to visit. Lunch at Volcano House and the view was absolutely amazing. (A decent lunch and admission was included in the price.) Spending time at the Black Sand Beach and the coffee farm were nice stops to end the trip. I highly recommend and I would do this trip again on a future visit to the Big Island.

Our tour guide David was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. His experience, knowledge, and insight on where to stop along the tour to get great photo opportunities added to our tour experience. The van was very comfortable and provided a smooth and enjoyable ride. Even though it is a long tour, 11 hours, it went by quickly and was very enjoyable. The lunch at the Rim of the Volcano restaurant was very good. My wife and boys had the cheese burger & fries and all said it was very good. I had the flatbread pulled pork pizza and it was also very good. Our entire family enjoyed the tour and all highly recommend it to all.

Our guide was great, fun, informative, knowledgeable! He was attentive & helpful. Gave us good information on expectations to make the experience worthwhile! Great overall!

We traveled with Geo tours & our guide was Grant! Highly recommend he was not only knowledgeable but enthusiastic as well. Lots of fun! 5 stars

The tour guide is super nice and shared many stories to us, not just the history but also names of the plants. That’s really impressive.

Definitely go see this spectacular national park. We did it over two days. Be sure to wear sturdy footwear and take water. Kilawaeu wasn’t spewing forth lava but there was lots of steam coming out so looked impressive. We also did the crater walk. It was easy and really scenic. Get there early because it gets hot and there’s no cover on the crater and the parking gets full quickly. The lava tube was also interesting. We also drive the 19 miles down to the ocean. Stop and see the petroglyphs ( stone carvings) , either going or coming, very interesting. The whole volcanic landscape is awe inspiring. At the roads end you can see the sea arch. It was worth the drive. But remember , you then have to drive all the way back. The park was about an hours drive from Hilo. Stop in at the small village of Volcano for something to eat at either the brewery or the garden centre. A great place to visit.

Volcanoes National Park was one of the highlights of our trip. The park is incredibly clean and well maintained, which made it really enjoyable to explore. Everywhere you go, there are amazing views, from vast lava fields to scenic overlooks that don’t even feel real. One thing I’d definitely recommend is giving yourself plenty of time. The park is much bigger than we expected, and there’s a lot to see if you want to do it right. We could have easily spent another half day exploring more areas. We just missed an eruption by a few days, which was a little disappointing, but even without it, the experience was still absolutely worth it. There’s something really special about being there and seeing the landscape up close. If you’re visiting the Big Island, this is a must-do, just make sure you don’t rush it.

David was an amazing guide. David was a wealth of knowledge. He made the tour feel like a field trip with a geologist.

Excellent way to see a lot of the Island and Volcano National Park from Kona without all the driving. David Human, our tour guide was fantastic and incredibly knowledgable. We learned a lot more than you could learn on your own or a self guided Tour. Really great day.

Our guide David was extremely knowledgable and personable. We learned a lot about Hawaii, not just information about the stops on the tour.
