the trip was fun, Just on day of the weather was extremely foggy and rainy and you couldn't see the Mt at all , But the guide did his best to make it a fun day
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for giving us 4 Stars when we can't control the weather. What do you mean "see the "Mt"? It's a shield volcano, fog and rain would have nothing to do with seeing anything except when looking in the caldera, which isn't a "Mt." If you booked the 1 PM Meet in the Park you are very likely to have the worst weather of the day, which is why only one guide is willing to do those. The rainforest areas of the National Park rain almost daily and Hawaii itself is the rainiest state in the United States.

This tour gave us the highlights of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park within a well paced 3 hours, perfect for a family with members ages 3 to 81. Skylar was THE BEST guide, we learned a ton and he took so many photos of the group for us to remember this experience. Snacks and water were provided and the transportation was comfortable. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you Jenny! It was our pleasure! Mahalo!

Our experience with Skylar was fantastic! My family couldn’t stop talking about the great day and how it wouldn’t have been the same without his knowledge. He shared so much about the island and the Park and kept the day exciting. He was also great with my 83 year mom and took great care of her at all the stops ensuring she was safe. I can’t say enough about this tour! Well worth the money! Excellent!!!!!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you Marcia! It was our pleasure! I hope you enjoy your time on the Big Island.

This was such an incredible afternoon! We did the short tour with Skylar, our tour guide. We were with my four boys ranging from 10-14 and Skylar did such an amazing job keeping things interesting for them. He was very engaging and it was the perfect amount of time to spend in the park with the kids. We learned so much and Skylar also took hundreds of pictures that will be available for us to download. Honestly, as the resident family photographer, this was such an added bonus as I didn’t have to worry about “getting the pictures” and I could just enjoy myself. I loved driving down the chain of craters road, seeing the lava river bed and the views were stunning. At the end of the tour, we saw the most incredible rainbow that was dipping down into the large crater behind the volcano house. Unbelievable! Also, Jodi, the owner of the tour company, was incredibly kind, giving some suggestions of hikes in the park. The whole experience was easy to plan and incredible to do. One of the highlights of our trip on the Big Island!

Our guide, Skyler, was great. So knowledgeable and well prepared with ponchos, umbrellas and snacks. We had a fantastic time.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you so much Roxanne! I'm sorry the weather wasn't great. It was sunny until about noon. Most days, the mornings are sunny, and the afternoons are rainy. Thank you so much.

Fantastic experience visiting Volcanoes National Park. Our guide did a great job making the most of the 3.5 hours in the massive park. Our kids (and adults) appreciated the videos he played in the van betweens tops to give us more context and background knowledge on what we were seeing. Great day overall
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you so much!! It was our pleasure!
