Erupting experiences - I didn’t do the helicopter tour just the volcanic tour. The trip was amazing and our guide Steven, was personable and knowledgeable. He played the ukulele as we were boarding the bus. He’s is very talented and that started the wonderful adventure. He explained the history of the island and explained how all the islands united. The views were spectacular! He made sure that we weren’t having a good time and he flowed with our time. I would do this again when I travel again. This was one of my highlights of my vacation.

A great day on The Big Island. - We fly to The Big Island for one day. Our tour guide Tony, was very good. He has lots of local knowledge on volcanoes, customs, history and the like, and he kept us informed as we travelled between locations. We ran on time and had a great day. Thank you.

Magical day trip even without the copter! - The stellar reviews for Polynesian Adventure tours on TripAdvisor convinced me to book this trip, and it did not disappoint. I requested Dexter as my guide because reviewers mentioned how knowledgeable and friendly he is. The company was able to accommodate my request even when I asked to switch the dates of my tour to have enough people to do the helicopter (Blue Hawaiian requires 4 passengers to fly.) Unfortunately, due to weather, the helicopter flight was cancelled, and my group just missed an eruption at the volcano. But Dexter made up for it with his vast knowledge of history of the island, its volcanic activity, its plant life, and its people. I don't have words to describe the awe I felt walking the lava tube and Akaka Falls State Park. It was a gift to experience starkly different yet beautiful landscapes on one island, in one day. Mahalo, Dexter and Polynesian Adventure.
