Staying on Oahu & only wanted a day trip to the Volcanos National Park. We are not "tour" people, but we didn't want the logistical headache of scheduling flights, rental car, and driving around unfamiliar territory so we broke down & booked this tour.
Wow! Exceeded all expectations. I thought we would be on a crowded bus, but we were in a van with only one other couple. The driver, Mel, was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything we were seeing as we drove.
I was also concerned about the 8-hour day confined in a vehicle. I should not have worried. Plenty of stops along the way AND The driver was very considerate of all our needs. Plenty of opportunities to buy snacks, use restrooms, and learn interesting things.
The driver even noticed that we were originally booked to return to Oahu out of Kona at 8pm. He researched and found out he could save us 4 hours of time by re-booking out of Hilo! Kudos to Jason at the main office for making it happen!
When you book, ask for Mel! 8th generation Hawaiian who is passionate about his home and sharing it with his visitors. 👋
This was one of our top ten National Park experienced! Thank you Aloha Sunshine Tours!!!
