This tour is highly recommended. Special thanks for Katie who made our day become a great trip in Kona. She took care of us very well. She is knowledgeable and informative we can assure that you can see volcanos up close and finished the day with precious memory.

It was awesome! Katie was our guide & she was so knowledgeable. She prepared us for what to expect at the next stop as well as restrooms. That being my important since we had a 10 year old. Katie went over & beyond. We took a tour almost like this in 2007, but this one was outstanding in comparison. We’d do this tour again in a heartbeat!!

We had a wonderful experience! Katie is very knowledgeable and provided a nice balance of history and cultural richness of Hawaii's beauty. The day was full but my children were able to stay engaged, and we all enjoyed it's immensely. The courtesy IPAD was a plus as well. Due to beach closing we were not able to go to black beach was disappointing, in lieu our guide took us to an overlook area to watch huge waves. The kids really wanted to have the beach experience, as did I. However at the close of the day we watched in wonder the glowing lava, starry skies was all breathtaking.
