Really wonderful experience - Mel was our guide all day. Very knowledgeable and timely. We were lucky enough to tour the park during an eruption so we had the great privilege to see Kilauea in all her glory

It was amazing to see things we would not get to back home, with a tour guide who showed his love for the island and gave us so much information about the history and how things happen on this island. Would definitely do another tour with Mel

Mel was extremely informative and super friendly. The weather was a bummer, but he still tried to do what he could do to make it fun and informative. A lot more driving than I had anticipated and the stops weren’t very long.
