Tour was great! Our tour guide Katie, picked us up at 9am sharp. She is highly personable and knowledgeable, and kept the whole tour entertained. She made stops along the tour to view whales and sea turtles, and even recommended a guy selling fresh coconuts! Highlight of the tour is definitely seeing the red glow of the volcano at night. Considering the excessive crowd at the volcano park during the evening lava viewing, and also the amount of driving needed, this tour is the best way to go about it. The iPad movies at night was a pleasant surprise. Recommended!
The weather was not cooperative but that didn't ruin the trip. Our guide was very informative, careful driver and looking out for us. We drove home in horrible fog for most of the way, but always felt safe. Great experience!
Dominik was a very knowledgeable guide. He went out of his way to explain so many things, HI history, geology of volcanoes, native vs. introduced plants, successfully finding nene geese, etc. This tour provides a great impression of the big island, the dry Kona side with its beaches, coffee plantations, turtles on the beach, the southern tip of the island, and the Kilauea area, various sights in the volcano NP, with the glowing of Kilauea at night as the high point.
