We had an excellent time. Andre our tour guide with Kapohokine Adventures was great and a wealth of volcano and Hawaiian knowledge. We loved the lava tube, the crater and all the dried lava fields. My son really loved the echo produced at the crater. Just wished we could have seen some lava at the end of the experience. But you can’t plan that. But besides that it couldn’t have been a better experience.

Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Great trip! The weather was excellent. The guides offered jackets and flashlights that made it so much better for viewing at night and in breezy conditions
