One of a kind experience in Hawaii - We were a family of 5 and this tour was curated just for us! Rom is incredibly knowledgeable in all things Hawaii. He was informative, always attentive to our questions and needs and made everyone feel comfortable. The views were breathtaking. At sunset we went stargazing and his astrophotography expertise was a hit with everyone. We were able to catch amazing pictures! If you want to avoid the crowds and have a custom made tour, Nomad Tours is the place to go!

A Perfect Day on the Big Island – Mahalo Rom! - Our Hilo excursion with Nomad Tours was truly the highlight of our trip to Hawaiʻi! From the lush rainforest at Akaka Falls to the dramatic landscapes of Volcanoes National Park, every moment was unforgettable. The views were breathtaking, especially the steam vents and lava tube—like stepping into another world!
The stop at Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach was magical—we even saw sea turtles resting on the shore. And the short visit to Rainbow Falls was a great surprise!
What made the day extra special was our guide, Rom. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and passionateabout Hawaiian history and culture. Rom shared beautiful stories about Pele and the island’s volcanic origins, answered every question with care, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. His warmth and attention to detail made this small-group tour feel truly personal.
If you're visiting the Big Island, we can’t recommend Nomad Tours and Rom enough. 5 stars all the way—mahalo for an amazing experience!

A Full Day of Awe and Adventure — Unforgettable Experience! - This full-day tour of Volcanoes National Park was the highlight of our trip to the Big Island! Every stop was thoughtfully planned, and we truly felt like we experienced the best of Hawaii’s natural wonders in one amazing day.
Our guide was exceptional — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the island’s volcanic history and culture. We explored steam vents, walked through the incredible Thurston Lava Tube, and had breathtaking views of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater. The 2-hour hike across Kīlauea Iki Crater was unforgettable — standing on a once-molten lava lake was like walking on another planet!
We also loved the scenic drive down to the Hōlei Sea Arch and the visit to the beautiful black sand beach at Punaluʻu, where we were lucky enough to see sea turtles resting on the shore.
The tour was well-paced, educational, and full of jaw-dropping landscapes. If you want a deep and meaningful experience of Hawaiʻi’s volcanic power and beauty, this tour is an absolute must. We left with incredible memories and a new appreciation for the island’s natural forces.
