Very good tour of Hilo, local highlights macadamia nut factory, orchid producers and the Volcano national park. The guide was very affable and full of local knowledge. Please note that conditions can be wet, cool and windy when in the park. Take a light jacket with you. Quite a long day, starting at 8 am and getting back to our hotel after 7 pm. Overall, very good value and I suspect this tour takes you as close as you can get to a volcano without a helicopter.

The tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable. Plentiful stops and time to enjoy the sights.
Communications wasn't the best to get set up for morning pick up. We were staying locally and there wasn't a designated pick up point even though we communicated that we would need one. When we booked, the site allowed us to book with the option that we were not staying at a hotel and needed other pick up arrangements. No one contacted us until we finally managed to get in touch with someone the night before. Then we had to make a special trip to figure out where we were supposed to be. Once it got going, it was a good tour.
