Great way to spend a day on the Big Island - I am not generally a fan a bus tours. I prefer to go at my own pace and stay as long as I feel like anywhere. This was an exception. Our driver Joshua did a great job for us. All stops were of an appropriate length and it was nice to be able to look around as opposed to driving.

Why you need to go on this tour Evan Pillay - Our driver Dave was extremely helpful. He always asked if we wanted snacks and drinks. They were free as well! The actual tour is so cool plus it includes lunch! You even get to see the most active volcano in the world. We also got to see a wild green hawaiian turtle! Evan Pillay

NCL VOLCANO NATIONAL PARK & BLACK SAND BEACH - I went on this tour as a shore excursion with Norwegian Cruise Line. Our tour guide, Ryan, was amazing! He shared a lot of information about the island in a fun and engaging way and entertained us with stories about each site. He was very knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions we had. He went above and beyond to ensure each of his guests had an amazing experience. I also appreciated that this tour was conducted in a small 15-passenger van instead of a large tour bus, allowing us to have a more personalized experience.

Great tour in Kona! - We had a wonderful experience. Chris and David were terrific!!! They kept us engaged and taught us so much about the volcanos, Kona, plants and Hawaiian legends. The visit to Volcano Winery capped it off with lunch and a glass of their wine.

Hawaii at its Finest! - Our tour guide, Debra, was exceptional! A warm , friendly person with a vast amount of knowledge about the island-its history, culture , its language, the diversity of the people as well as the geological and scientific facts about the rain forest and of course, the volcanoes. She explained it all with such clarity and enthusiasm. Her pace was perfect. She kept us all engaged and excited. We were also well nourished by our lunch and our snacks. Our age range was from 5 to 49 to 73. We all enjoyed a stellar day. Thank you again!

A must do tour! - First off, the main reason for giving a 5 star review is our tour guide, Chris. From the moment he picked us up at the cruise line pier, he was a blast. Chris filled the entire afternoon with extremely interesting and humorous facts and stories. The stops began with delicious pastries and coffee, then onto black sand beaches, the Volcano National Park, walking through a lava tube and finishing at the beautiful Rainbow Falls. Highly recommended tour, and cross your fingers you get Chris as your guide!

Great Introduction to Big Island - Billed as 8 hours, it was nearly 9 hours at an unhurried pace. VERY well-informed guide (David) was a good teacher without being teach-y. Leisurely stops at several locations. If Kilauea is erupting, you will see it up close. Comfortable van rode smoothly and he's a good driver.

Not worth the money or time - If you are under the age of 60 do NOT take this tour. We spent more time in gift shops than outdoors seeing the sights. 12 hours in a van with limited movement is not fun. We stopped at 5 different gift shops (including the coffee farm and winery) yet only 4 natural sites. Total waste of money and time. Further, facts shared by the guide were incorrect - history, data about the island, etc questionable and information about the tour cost misinformed.
