Hawaii Volcanoes National Park äventyr

This was an awesome experience and our tour guide Nhi had a wealth of knowledge being a lifetime resident of the island. He was able to give us information not only about the volcanoes but the culture, history, geographical area, and more! The national volcanoes tour was a great once in a lifetime experience as we were able to see the eruption of Kilauea for the historical 50th time! It was surreal and we were glad to be a part of that historic time. We also were able to experience driving through one of the other large mountains, Mauna Loa, to get there. We were on the Kona side and had to go to Hilo for the tour. We were also able to get awesome facts about the soil and see lava rocks and ash that formed obsidian along the route. Toured the lava tube and felt the steam from the volcano’s steam vents around the area. It was such an awesome experience I would definitely recommend for you to do this while there!

Our guide and driver Aaron is one of those people you find yourself feeling deeply grateful for having the opportunity to have had share his homeland with you. His tour emphasized the importance of Hawaiian culture as a crucial component of understanding of the awesome natural forces in play at Volcano. We loved the legends of the Ancients he colored his narrative with. As Aaron reiterated: Ohana means family, in the broadest sense of the word. All are included. Non are left behind. We are truly grateful to feel part of Aaron’s ohana.

Aaron was a great guide. He knew exactly where to take us for the best views of the volcano. Told us about the history.

Great tour. Aaron is fantastic. Friendly and knowledgeable. Local guide, which makes a huge difference. Would recommend!

Aaron was super friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the island, not just the volcano. He shared plant knowledge along with Hawaiian lore and places to eat and visit! At the volcano we hit several vantage points, the Nāhuku lava tube and Keanakāko’i crater. Highly recommend if you want to support local and have a great volcano experience.

Aaron was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about everything on the island, not just the volcano! He pointed out and talked about different plants on the island and shared Hawaiian lore. We had plenty of time at the volcano, visiting 3 different vantage points, the lava tube, and an older crater. Snacks and beverages are included! Highly recommend if you’re looking to support a small local business and want knowledge of the island that only a native Hawaiian can provide!

Aaron was fantastic! We had trouble getting off the ship and he was super communicative and patient while we went through immigration as it was our first port back in the US. He was incredibly knowledgeable and we easily pivoted when one of the stops was not allowing stops due to the parking lot being filled. He had snacks and delicious drinks available throughout the tour. We would absolutely tour with him again!

I'm so glad ended up not cancelling. I really was going to just not go. But, after having dragged myself out of bed, I can't say enough about Aaron. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the history of not only the places we went, but also, of historical facts that probably wouldn't be known on a regular day, such as the actual meaning of Aloha. I really recommend booking a tour with Aaron. Your tour will be filled with a lot of "Oh, wow! Is that right?" Mahalo, Aaron, Brudda.

Excellent… the tour guide Aaron got us to the volcano in plenty of time to see the eruption! It was awesome!
