Private Tour of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Overview

This truly unique experience will be with you for the rest of your life as you enjoy the spectacular beauty exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The sights, sounds and smell are like nowhere else on earth as you walk on actual lava (cooled, of course), descend through a rain forest and experience steam vents up close and personal.

Meeting at the visitor center at Volcanoes National Park, we'll begin experiencing the amazing sights and sounds on top of the world's most active volcano.

This truly will be an experience you will never forget! You can even choose a starting time at 5 AM to catch the sunrise over Kilauea. Another advantage to starting so early is having the park almost to ourselves!

Let's share the beauty of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park!

Second time doing a tour with Scott. This time spent the entire time at Volcanoes National Park. Scott knows the best places to go and see from his explorations around the volcano. Whenever the next time I go back, will be giving Scott a call again.

Mahalo for taking the time to write a 5-star review. It is always nice to show repeat guests some new spots I have found over the years at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. There is still more! Wishing you many more safe travels. Aloha.

Best tour! Private and designed to our requests. 2-3 hrs depending on what all you want to see. Scott knows his stuff! So informative about not only volcanoes but local trees, plants & agriculture. He is kind and funny and transparent - and a Seinfeld fan! - like you’ve known him forever! Mostly driving from place to place with some walking in between - nothing challenging, also based on your abilities . He brought a tripod scope & focused it on bubbling lava - once in a lifetime for us! Ask for suggested directions to meeting point - we didn’t and took the longer way. LOL Absolutely 100% recommend this PERSONALIZED tour!!
