    We have nothing but high praise for every aspect of our private tour with FHVNP. Our guide was knowledgeable on a range of topics, great at bringing to life the natural history of the volcano and the current issues facing the ecosystem there. She made our logistics seamless and comfortable, took into consideration our physical comfort and capabilities. I appreciated her choices of time allocation so that we got the most of our time together. And she was excellent company! Fun to be with, engaging, perceptive as to our interests, and even gave us some reading suggestions based on our interests that changed the remainder of our visit to the island, as we digested those books (which we loved!). So, thank you to Julie and to FHVNP for an unforgettable experience (gotta thank Pele too, who gifted us with an eruption on the day of our tour). And bonus that our fee went to support the philanthropic organization affiliated with this national park. We are very grateful to have had the ability to experience this extremely special place with their guidance.

  • Awesome Experience

    We had 10 people, so we had 2 guides each in a separate car. At times, the guides switched cars so everybody experienced both of their wisdom - which was immense. Our experience was awesome and we learned way more then expected about volcanos. We would use "Friends" again in a heartbeat.
