Just do it! You won’t regret it! In fact, you will miss out if you don’t! - If they had a rating of 10, I would give Desmond and Anthony a 10. The tour was very informative, exciting and packed with a few surprises. Take this tour, you won’t regret it.

This was a top notch... - This was a top notch tour! Anthony was wonderful, fun, flexible and knew his history well. The pictures as he talked were very helpful. Lunch was an added bonus that I didn't expect. Thankful there were just 2 of us and the company didn't cancel. Best Day in Hilo! Thanks Anthony 🌸🌴

Fantastic Hilo Excursion - Best excursion! Rainbow Falls was beautiful, the volcano was erupting at Volcano National Park, and the beach was great too - even saw some turtles. Enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Volcano House. Guides Desmond and Anthony were awesome! Very knowledgeable and considerate hosts. The National Park and highway were being closed, so they figured out alternate roads so that we could still fit in a beach visit before returning us to the cruise ship. We really appreciate being picked up and returned to the port - made it so much easier than taking an uber.

Great guides!! - Our guides did their very best and we were lucky enough to get to see the volcano erupting! Amazing, I feel the guides were knowledgeable. The only reason I gave it a four was because once everything started closing down due to the eruption they could have just ended the tour.
