Having grown up in the area Jill's personal experiences brought wonderful insights into what it's like to live around and experience volcanic events. She also knew the best areas to experience Volcanoes National Park for ourselves. It was super easy to meet her at the cruise dock and we got back in plenty of time for our departure.

We had a wonderful tour. Informative tour guide and the weather cooperated. We especially enjoyed the Crater Rim hike and Lava Tube walk.

Amazing small guided tour. Josh took us to the Hawaiian volcano park and Kilauea volcano crater, dried lava fields from previous eruptions, and inside a lava tube. His knowledge of the island, its volcanic history, his own volcano experiences and lots of funny anecdotal stories was absolutely amazing and made the tour. We got binoculars and a telescope to see down to the crater itself, unfortunately no molten lava today, but you can’t control nature. He answered all my many questions and expanded on them with detailed answers, I took away from this an amazing experience and many new learning opportunities. Thanks Josh!
