    Mel did an excellent job of teaching us so much about the island from the aboriginal perspective. And he also was flexible enough to change plans and let us see lava. Amazing and well planned trip!

  • Amazing Volcano Tour

    This was a full day experience. Since we were staying on Oahu we flew to the big island. The experience was “other worldly” and our guide, Mel, was amazing. He had so much knowledge about the area and volcanoes in general. We had opportunities for breaks and made a stop for lunch. We liked the idea that our group was small (10 total plus a toddler). Definitely a bucket list must do!
