Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Ervaring vanuit Oahu

Our tour guide and driver, Brandon was easy going and very knowledgeable about all areas of the tour. We had plenty of time at all the stops and ended up going to walk on a lava flow because we were all so punctual and kept to the timings. We were so early in finishing the whole tour we asked if he could take us to the airport early to see if we could get on an earlier flight because it had been a long day. We were fortunate to get the earlier flight and glad to be back at our hotel. The places visited, the knowledge shared and the hints on where to look for the green turtles, visiting different parts of the rim of the volcano, taking care when walking on the lava flow, the best way to go to head through the lava tube and the best spot to take photos from. Thanks for a wonderful tour, great eating places and the many laughs along the way.

Our tour guide Mel took us to some amazing sites! The black sand beach with the turtles was beautiful. Being in an actual active volcano was thrilling and the main attraction . The day was long but absolutely worth our time. The lava walk was not as small and dark as it sounded. Truly a wonderful experience to end the tour. A few tips for this tour: only water was provided so definitely bring a snack or two. Will stop for a good lunch but that’s it for food stop. Restrooms are actually portable potties along the way at some points of the tour so do not drink too much. Mel warned us ahead of time so we did not have to stop at any of them. When you get on the bus, sit on the right side for the better views along the way. Trust Mel to get you to the airport in sufficient time as you do not need to be there hours ahead. Enjoy the Big Island!

If you are looking to get away from the crowds and tourism of Oahu, this is the experience for you. On this tour, you get the opportunity to experience all that the big Island has to offer, exploring black sand beaches, lush rainforests, and an active volcano. Mel was an amazing tour guide and truly made the whole experience. The stories, history, and jokes he shared with us deepened my connection with not only the island but the other members of our group. This was truly an unforgettable experience that everyone should do at least once in their lives!

Tour guide Mel was awesome and well versed in geology helping us understand how the Volcanos formed and shaped the land. Walking through the lava tubes was incredible. This was a great tour especially if you are only on the big Island for a day.

This is by far the most amazing excursion we’ve ever had!!! Brandon our tour guide is very knowledgeable and I believe most be one of the best tour guide there is in Hawaii. I strongly recommend this experience to anyone going to Hawaii for it is a once in a lifetime experience! That says it all!

The tour went smoothly from end to end. They arranged the flights and picked us up at airport on Big Island and dropped off again at the end. It was a rainy, blustery day with limited views but our tour guide Mel made up for it by describing what we would have seen on a clear day. When we encountered a road closure due to a fallen tree, Mel was able to quickly pivot and salvage the day. The lunch spot was good, offering lots of options. At the park we did not have to rely on the written signage alone. Mel's narration of the volcanoes and the eruption process added greatly to our understanding of what we were looking at and experiencing. So cool! The coffee plantation would have been just a store if not for Mel's insight into coffee production on the island. All in all a great day, largely thanks to our tour guide Mel, a native Hawaiian who shared information about the geology, flora, fauna and history of the island and his family.

We flew into Oahu to stay for 10 days. Going to the Big Island Hawaii was a day trip. the flight was perfect to and from. The experience was a site we would have never seen. Walking on the Lava flow from 2018 and walking through a Lava Tube was so cool. Our guide was so knowledgeable. It really is something to experience.

Great tour, well organized. Knowledgeable tour guide, beautiful scenery! Highly recommend. Loved the coffee farm.

Tourist guide amazing full of energy wide knowledge of area great personalized service that makes you feel like family!!!

Only one other couple on tour with us so Henry gave us his undivided attention - he was great. He even stopped to rescue a lizard from the road.
