Our guide Keith was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He kept us on a schedule so that we would hit the tour highlights at exactly the right time. There was a progressive "WOW" buildup during the Volcanoes National Park visit so that each site and view of the caldera got better and better. The star gazing was fantastic despite the cold (yes cold in Hawaii). It's a lot of driving around in the van but you get a sense of much of the island.

Our guide Kala was amazing. He was very accomodating and had a wealth of knowledge about his tour. We enjoyed all his stories. The lunch and dinner were also very good and tasty. The van was top notch - Mercedes Sprinter. Loved it because we didn't have to drive back to Kona in the dark!

Our tour guide, Kala was very knowledgeable about the island, the history, culture and customs. He not only gave us information about the sites we were visiting but was also a wealth of knowledge about the rest of the island as we were driving around the island. He made sure we were able to get plenty of great pictures and was excited as everyone on the tour that we were able to see lava. This was truly the best thing we did on our vacation on the island I would highly recommend.

Unfortunately, this was not what we expected. Although Chris was knowledgeable, entertaining and accommodating, with the exception of seeing the lava flow, this was nothing but a long, long ride around the island with dinner at the military mess hall. Do not recommend.

Kris or Chris was an interesting guide. He states he is half Hawain and half Portuguese. He appears to have recieved a BS in vucanology from a university in Idaho, and taught 8th grade science in the school he went to as a youngster in Hawaii. He appears to be quite knowledgable. Kris bewgan the day as quite the friendly fellow. Somewhere in the middle of the day, he began to become curt and surly. The food was marginal. Kris was upset by the time we arrived at dinner and concerned that his grandmother would scold him if the group did not behave just right.

By the end of the day he was driving 20 or more miles an hour over the speed limit looking under the stearing wheel at the road ahead and not communicating at all. He was clearly upset but unwilling to say about what.

The places we wnt were great. I have some wonderful pictures both of the scenery and the other people on the tour as we took pictures for one another. The group was great.

At the end of the day I was quite happy to get out of the bus with Kris in it.

The fellow tourists were fun and friendly.

Amazing!!!! The volcano tour was brilliant! Dan was our tour guide for the day and he was fantastic!! So knowledgeable and interesting. The day was great!!! Dan was awesome and showed us some really amazing sites. He even stopped on the way home, for us to stargaze. A must must do experience!!!

This was a wonderful trip. Our guide Chris was super. He was very personable and really knew a lot about the history of the Big Island and, specifically, about volcanoes. It was an absolutely great trip.

Drew was amazing. He was well informed and shared his knowledge with grat enthusiasm. I would highly recommend this excursion.

My daughter and I loved our volcano tour. The write up indicates you should bring a light jacket. That might be fine in the middle of the summer but we were there mid January. It was freezing cold and raining. My suggestion would be to actually call the company regarding temperatures and weather. The site also doesn't mention it is a box lunch. Not that the food wasn't tasty, there just was no choice. I would definitely recommend this tour but remember warm rain gear and a flashlight.

Great tour with professional and very nice guide Chris who is one of the best guides I have met. The tour covers nearly all must-see attractions in Big Island and the arrangement is good. Will definitely recommend this tour to friends playing visit to Hawaii.
