Rain Didn’t Dampen a Wonderful Experience!
Rebeccah L,Jun 3, 2026

5.00Our tour guide Sean and driver Eugene were excellent. Sean was very knowledgeable, professional and attentive. It rained during our entire tour - but we still had a wonderful time, and Sean had umbrellas. (Bring your rain gear and water resistant shoes just in case because it rains quite often in Hilo). We explored Volcanoes National Park, including Kilauea, Volcano House lodge, steam vents and lava flows. We loved Thurston Lava Tube and then went on to enjoy lunch at Hilo Farmers Market, where they had music and dancers. We also enjoyed Rainbow Falls, Big Island Candies, the gardens, and the black sand beach. This tour moves quickly to give you an opportunity to see as much as you can, but we did not feel rushed. Sean and Eugene kept everything going at a nice pace that gave us enough time to enjoy each location while still staying on schedule to see everything. Our group included one child (age 11) and two adults in their 70s, and they had no issues keeping up or accessing the attractions. The stairs into the lava tube can be a little slippery when wet, but we just went slow and everyone was fine. Great tour - and if it’s raining on the day you’re booked, don’t let that deter you. Just grab your rain gear and go. You won’t regret it!

5.00Sean was outstanding as our guide. He possessed a great depth of knowledge about the area and the park. We hit all the places in the park of significance and had plenty of time at each. As a small group tour it was very personalized and well worth the cost.

5.00Nice 4.5 hr excursion. Plenty of time to see volcano and walk around a bit. If you want more time to hike some of the trails, maybe rent a car. Guide knowledgeable.

Volcano National Park

4.00It was great to go to the park. The time of four hours as good too. I just think the cost for two stops at the park was pretty high. Our driver, Gabriel did a great job and was very knowledgeable. The stop at the Big Island Candy Kitchen was fun and tasty. They are working on the visitor center at the NP so facilities were port a potties. Not the fault of the operation but we had no prior knowledge either. Probably would not have changed my plans.
