Punalu'u Black Sand beach

The most famous black sand beach and possibly turtles, this black sand beach is a serious time commitment because we have to drive you out of the National Park through the Kau Desert, there is very little to see.

This was an incredible private tour! From the start, the booking process was seamless, with follow-up reminders and detailed directions to the meeting point. Jodi and Rob did an exceptional job catering to everyone in our group, from a 13-year-old to an 80-year-old, ensuring we all had a fantastic experience. We explored Volcano National Park and were lucky enough to witness the active volcano—an unforgettable sight! They also took us on side trips to stunning waterfalls and breathtaking beaches. Every detail was thoughtfully planned. When they say VIP, they mean it: they provided flashlights, raincoats, and even special gadgets to help us capture perfect photos. We can’t recommend Jodi and Rob enough for their outstanding hospitality and expertise. This tour was truly one for the books!

Thank you so much! Wow! What a review! Thank you for taking the time to write in such detail! I am thrilled you saw lava. The volcano has gone quiet for now. I hope you have a wonderful, healthy, and happy 2025!

Excellent personal tour with a highly knowledgeable and passionate guide. We spent the day traveling through large parts of volcanos national park. By the end of the day, we walked away understanding the history of the volcanos in Hawaii and got an appreciation of the lifecycle of volcanic eruptions. As a bonus, Kilauea erupted 2 days after we visited the park so we were treated to a spectacular view. Rob is also a fantastic photographer. Ask him to show you his photos.

What a great tour! Rob took us all over the Volcano National Park and shared his love of the area and vast experience. We learned about the different types of lava (who knew there is more than 1 type) and got a feel for what it is like when the lava is flowing. He took tons of pictures for us so we could focus on having fun. If you are on the big island, book this tour!
