We were staying in Oahu & flew in just for the day for this tour of the volcano. Our tour guide/host Maggie was super informative & went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our tour. Highly recommend!

Fun tour to 3 spots to view the crater, I had to drive back to the national park after the tour to witness the eruption since its unpredictable. Lava cave is fun but a very short experience. The tour guide was amazing and funny. She had great stories and trivia.
