It was just ok for me. My friends who came with me enjoyed it more. I didn't get to see any lava, not the fault of anyone that's how it goes. For me, it was a long day. Could have done without the stop at the orchid store - it's just a store, not some garden. Kinda disappointed with the waterfall stop because there was only one waterfall to look at. Also, I called ahead to see where the pick-up point was at Hilo Airport, and the rep on the phone told me to meet the tour bus on the wrong side of the airport. I just happened to see the tour bus drive by and park on the other end. Since the airport is small, everything turned out ok, but I was panicking for a minute.
