Long but worth it! - Our tour guide Zane was so knowledgeable on not only volcano but also Hawaiian history. If you want smaller sized, customized tour with tons of information about volcano's I definitely recommend this tour

Fantastic First Experience at Volcano National Park - So many times, my husband and I will go off and do our own thing instead of choose a tour, but this tour with Dave was exceptional!! He was so knowledgeable and even made the longer drives enjoyable, keeping us engaged the whole time. We loved everything about the day, from the views to the winery, to dinner overlooking Pele - the only thing that would have made it better was to be there a few hours later when she finally decided to let loose! 10/10 would recommend and do again!

Big Island Tour - Good tour that highlighted some important points on the island. Specifically, the Volcano National Park is a must see if you’re visiting the Big Island. We traveled 250+ miles which made the day very long.
