Absolutely fantastic

Posted on: 2015/08/02

We went on this tour in July 2015 and absolutely loved it. We were picked up in Hilo by the first of our two tour guides, Neho, who was absolutely brilliant and gave us a detailed, fascinating view on everything we asked about. The black sand beach was gorgeous and inspiring, the history behind the volcanic eruptions was interesting, and the wild chickens were hilarious. Neho was warm, funny, and full of great anecdotes. Then we went to Volcano Park and met the second guide, Amanda, who was calm and knowledgeable. Pele's hair, lava tubes, the different colour of the lava - she had a story for everything.

The tour was small enough that everyone in the van got to know each other and didn't feel like we were on an assembly line. The scenery was gorgeous, and when we finally saw the lit up volcano is was utterly worth it We'd travelled to the Big Island to undertake this tour and weren't disappointed. One point - we were given jackets when we viewed the volcano at night and needed them as it was quite chilly by then, so anyone wearing shorts might want to rethink them after dinner. There were quite a few other tours at the viewing spot and we saw a lot of people wrapped in towels to keep warm. The post-volcano snack was also very welcome.

Overall, we loved it and would recommend it. The volcano needs to be seen at night in order to appreciate the colour - it was fabulous.
