Jill’s knowledge and story telling about her experiences and life on the island was wonderful. Everything was great

Overall, the trip was very educational and pleasant. We learned so much about volcanic action and the effects that volcanoes have on Hawaii, as well as legends about the ancient history of the islands. The photo stops were well located, and our tour bus driver/guide (Jill) was most informative, pleasant and interesting.

Josh and his wife were the best. Friendly and knowledgeable. Knew the best places and when to see them. Kept things interesting at all times. Never rushed us. Would do it again a dozen times.
