Worth every penny and then some

I don’t normally leave reviews for these things but I had to this time. Our tour guide Todd was excellent. The first half of the day was already fantastic, getting to visit the coffee farm, bake shop and black sand beach. Todd was incredibly knowledgeable and we learned lots along the way. We were amazingly fortunate that we entered the national park 15 minutes after Kilauea started having an episode. We got to experience it pretty much from when it started through to just before it ended. Todd knew the spots to take us to ensure we got the best views and even got us back there at dark so we could experience those views. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and seeing the volcano erupt, was just icing on the top of the cake.

Well worth the time and money!

What a great day! Tour guide very efficient to ensure we completed all the promised adventures. Tasted coffee at scenic Bayview Coffee farm, ate delicious masaladas at bakery, visited black sand beach, walked through lava tube, saw Kīlauea in daylight, visited Volcanos National Park gift shop, ate delicious dinner at Kīlauea Lodge (available Mondays only), returned to park after dark to see glow of volcano, and did some star gazing. Drew did great job of entertaining us and provided education on Hawaiian history, culture and coffee farms. Well worth the time and money!
