Private Tour: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Eco Tour

Overview
Explore the worlds most active volcano with one of our professional, award winning guides - get away from the big bus and van tours and get out into the field to visit areas that few visitors get to see while visiting Hawai'i island!

No gift shops, no restaurants, no long drives around the island in a van to visit areas you can explore on your own. No gimmicks and no frills - all of our time is spent exploring the amazing active volcanoes of Hawai'i island! We offer only active, education based explorations that focus on topics such as Geology, native flora and fauna, and the amazing Hawaiian culture that still thrives on the volcano today.

Our tours are family friendly, easy to book and leave our guests with a deepened understanding of the science and the culture of Kīlauea. See the best of the volcano with several moderate walks throughout the day. Our National Park tours allow guests the convenience of using their own vehicle as opposed to a large bus or van.

We had a truly spectacular and amazing time on this tour. Our guide was Jay, who I truly can’t recommend enough. First, the communication was super clear and helpful. The head of the company called me the day before to coordinate logistics. Jay also called us the day of to get an understanding of what would be most interesting. Jay was kind, knowledgeable, and flexible. We really felt like we got an intimate glimpse of the landscape and the history that we wouldn’t have otherwise gotten if we explored the park on our own. If you’re really wanting to learn and get the full experience of the park, I’d highly recommend Jay and Kilauea EcoGuides.

My fiancé and I did a private tour with Jay Robinson yesterday (Nov 22, 2022) and we have been in awe ever since. Jay called us a day before to iron out all details and logistics (what to bring, timing, where to meet, etc). Even more impressive than his knowledge of geography is his knowledge of Hawaiian history and tradition. He performed an incredible Hawaiian chant/prayer before entering a lava tube and often gave us queues of good things to record or take photos of. You can tell he’s done this tour many times but his passion and excitement made us feel like we were his first tour - it truly made us feel special and welcome.

Erik is an incredible tour guide and was super super welcoming! He has an extensive amount of knowledge about the area and we wouldn’t recommend going to volcano national park without anyone other than himself or his friendly company! He is super passionate about what he does and it is clearly shown in his hospitality. Would highly recommend, especially if you love walking and immersing yourself in nature! Mahola ! :)
