“The coolest tour we have been on in many years. You have access to one of the most knowledgeable people on Hawaiian culture and history. As well, he knows the park and all of the flora and fauna. On top of that he is a most interesting man with some fantastic stories to entertain while you traverse some of the most beautiful spots in the park.”
Review of the private Kilauea Eruption Insights Tour, with lava-viewing tips, itinerary details, pricing, pickup, and practical advice.
“We were lucky to catch Kilauea eruption 31 two days before our private tour. We kept our reservation and still had a great day with our guide Jim who adjusted the time to be slightly earlier in the day. In addition to seeing the Kilauea caldera, lava tube, steam vents and viewing house overlook, we saved some time for quick stops at a coffee mill, the Punalu'u Black Sand beach and Punalu'u Bake Shop. Jim was extremely knowledgeable and narrated about every Hawaii topic possible, he definitely made the trip a huge win for our family.”
