    What To Expect

    Your adventure starts with pickup from your Waikoloa hotel via air-conditioned coach. You and your group will first explore Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, where your guide will start your 101 on Hawaii’s volcanic past and present. From there, you’ll stop by a Kona coffee farm, where you’ll meet the staff for a tour and tasting.

    After riding through historic Hilo, you’ll arrive at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Your guide’s geological knowledge comes in handy here as you explore Chain of Craters Road, from steaming craters all the way to the jet-black coast. You’ll make a stop for lunch, which is provided—as are snacks throughout the day.

    Lastly, you’ll get the chance to witness Rainbow Falls, an 80-foot cascade, and Saddle Road, one of the island’s most beloved. You’ll see lava flows old and young, cinder cones, and more, before being dropped back off at your hotel in Waikoloa.

    The tour was fantastic and so was Eric, our guide from Geo tours. He’s a geologist so you learn lots of interesting facts about the wonderful places we visited…the Hawaiian Coffee Farm, the black sand beach where we saw sea turtles, then it was on to Volcano National Park. The tour includes a delicious hot meal at a great restaurant before exploring the Park! The active volcano and the lava tube were amazing! We ended with seeing a beautiful waterfall in Hilo. They also supplied snacks & non alcoholic drinks throughout the day! Would definitely do again-was lots of fun! Bruce & Sally from Wi

    Seeing the Black sand and the turtles. And seeing the shoreline in the volcanic landscape. See the difference between the two sides of the island.
    A day in life with David Human
    Subhasis_S, Apr 2024
    Very informative and fun. David Human - our tour guide - was exceptional. Apart from being very professional and courteous, he knew the Big Island very well and took us to spots that were 'unthinkably brilliant'. Very punctual - picked us up from the hotel on the dot of time and dropped us off at the hotel. David was very sensitive of the diverse needs of all the tour participants. Overall, a day with David on this tour has been fantastic. I encourage everyone who is visiting Big Islands to try this guided tour. You will not be disappointed.

    One of the best tours I have ever taken. Our guide, Dave, was awesome. Extremely professional and knowledgeable across many subjects. We saw so many different things on the tour and Dave’s narration really added to experience. Would recommend as a must do. Be prepared for a long but worthwhile full day.
    Dave Made The Day!!!
    Steven_H, Nov 2023
    It's hard to pick the most memorable part of our tour because it was a day filled with extraordinary sites and experiences. Overall, it was our Tour Guide Dave who really made our 11 hours especially fun and informative. Dave really knows the island, the history, the people, the sites, etc. We feel so lucky that Dave was our guide that day. We truly will never forget the tour or him!
    Fun and educational tour

    Our guide, David, was amazing. So friendly and interactive with everyone on the tour. He was very knowledgeable about the volcanos, mountains, wildlife and Hawaii in general. I learned a lot while having a great time. We saw a lot of sites and we had plenty of time at each one. Totally recommend this tour….especially with David.

    Best day on the big island
    Leonard_Z, Aug 2023
    We loved the ENTIRE tour. The national park, lava tube, scenic overlooks, coffee farm, waterfalls, and chocolate stop were extraordinary, as was David! He gave us a true feel for many aspects of the island including so very many interesting facts. We appreciated his caring attitude, even his offer to snap a few photos.

    Amazing. A must do
    Erin_V, Jul 2023
    I really couldn’t recommend this tour more! Our tour guide David was amazing! He not only was a plethora of knowledge, he kept everyone entertained and was catering to everyone on the van. We all had a great time. Thank you David! There’s no way we would’ve known what we were looking at, when it happened and the tales behind it all. It’s a must do.

    Leonard_W, Mar 2023
    I don’t like being told to write more. David was a great guide: very knowledgeable and a good driver. Very good plan not to discuss politics or religion as we had guests from China and India. Good recommendation for fish restaurant.
    If you only have one day to see Big Island this is the tour for you
    stuart_n, Feb 2023
    We love a tour with an expert rather than a generic tour guide. We went to Big Island to see the natural wonders with a special wish to explore Volcanoes National Park. We chose Geo tours and our guide was the Geologist Zane. He was brilliant. Not only knowledgeable , so enthusiastic and he made the day. We saw so much and saw the lava which was a real thrill. There were so many things we did and saw on this tour I wouldn't want to spoil any surprises. Well done Zane and thanks so much for such a wonderful day. Stuart N
