Great tour and guide

Great tour giving an overview of the island. It included information about the history and culture of the big island. We also spent time at the volcano, and fortunately it began to erupt. Our tour guide was great.

Guide was very knowledgeable. Stops were fairly short but it was a quick view of each destination to consider exploring later. I would recommend this tour to any first time visitor to get an overview of all the areas on the Island

Big, beautiful Island

What a great day! The weather was great, we got to see sea turtles on the black sand beach, the volcano was clouded over and misty but that is typical, still…stood on a volcano! The waterfalls were beautiful and the sunset at the lookout was beautiful.
